Image title
Sītā casts herself into the great fire to the horror of all. But Agni, the golden god of Fire himself, rises from the flames attesting to Sītā's purity and presents her to her husband. The gods, headed by Brahmā on his haṃsa bird, Indra on his elephant and Åšiva and PārvatÄ« on the bull Nandi, come down from heaven, and even Daśaratha comes back from the dead, with the same message proclaiming Sītā's purity. Rāma announces that he has not doubted her for an instant, but that the trial has been necessary so that the people too should not doubt her. He requests the god Indra to restore to life those monkeys who have died in the struggle, and as Indra departs with the other gods, he bathes the dead monkeys in nectar, so that they return, wildly rejoicing, to life.
