‘In our opinion, the king has done a good thing of making the vow because it is due to it that our eyes have been rewarded with the opportunity to have this fruit (or reward in the form of the rare privilege of viewing Lord Ram and Laxman). (If the king hadn’t organized this ceremony and had married Sita to some prince of his choice, there would not have been an opportunity for sage Vishwamitra to bring Ram and Laxman here, and we all would have missed on this golden chance of our lifetime. So, instead of accusing the king of being stern and tieing the future of Sita to the bow we must rather thank him for giving us this chance of viewing Lord Ram at such close quarters.)
