        |  | RAMA did not take back SITA because she had been in
        another man's house for ten months. RAMA himself knew she was pure but feared that his
        people would think this could not be so. Because a King must lead his people, he had to
        make an example of SITA. Feeling very sad, SITA threw herself into the fire. The Fire God
        at once came down and gave her back to RAMA, saying that SITA was pure and innocent. |  |
