Janak met Janki (Sita) and gave her his good counsel’. (Janak, like any other father, was overcome with grief of separation from his beloved daughter. But being wise as he was, he advised Sita and the other daughters about the basic norms that a wife must follow in her life—for example, to serve her husband faithfully and loyally, to do everything possible to make him feel happy and contented, to uphold the dignity of both the families, that of her father’s as well as of her in-law’s, in everything she does, and to always follow the laws of Dharma, i.e. the laws of propriety, probity, righteousness and ethics.) He accompanied the groom’s party for quite a distance together with his ministers, Guru and brothers to see them off.
