Ayodhya

Here in Ayodhya The Princes Ram and Lakshman were getting ready to leave for the vishvamitra Ashram.
But they were going to leave in the evening because the horse of the Ashwamedha Yagya would be returning today and Ram was completely determined to save that horse from being sacrificed.

Once the horse came back the preparation to end the yagya with the sacrifice. Just as the blade of the sword was about to hit the neck of The poor Horse Ram spoke up and said," stop this right now."

" Ram, my child. why are you stopping the ritual??"Said Dashrath 

" father do you really think that sacrifying this innocent animal will bring Ayodhya the grace of God.
Do you really think that hurting this poor creature would bring our Kingdom prosperity.Do you really think that killing an innocent being for our own good is Dharma .in my eyes it isn't Dharma and it isn't right"said ram

Before Dashrath could speak up one of the ministers said," my Prince it is a tradition being carried on generation after generation we cannot just put a stop to it now can we."

" yes we can! After all it is our own choice to complete this yagya with the sacrifice of this horse and gain the Fury of God for God would never want and innocent being to suffer or not to sacrifice this poor Being for our own good." Said shri Ram

Everyone agreed to the words of Ram but a new problem arose the Yagya had to be completed and it couldn't be completed without the Sacrifice Of The horse so for the solution of this everyone again looked towards Ram looking for answers.

To this Ram took a deep breath, smiled and said," I knew a situation like this could arise, so I had a horse made of gold in exactly the size and proportions of this horse we will sacrifice that horse instead of this living one."

Everyone loved the prospect of not having to hurt in the innocent being.
so, it was decided that horse could not be sacrificed and instead the horse made of gold would be sacrificed and,
so it happened .

Ram than ordered the horse to be bought to his own Gardens.
Then he asked his Guard to call for the Senapati of Ayodhya as Ram wanted to hear about the places that the horse had run through.

Soon the Senapati reach there and was odd at the site of his Prince cleaning and tending to the horse he is too there for a second not saying anything as he was reminencing how Sita had cleaned and tended to the horse in a similar manner that is when the prince saw him there and asked him to narrate everything and all the kingdoms that the horse had run through. so, the Senapati complied to the request of the prince and started narrating everything that he had seen.

When he was about to start narrating how he had met the king,the queen and princesses of Mithila he heard the prince say," how nice of someone to have tried to tend to this horse. Senapati who had tended to this horse?"

"who else but the princess of vedeha have such kindness in her heart to do such a sweet act!" The Senapati proclaimed.

" princess of vedeha??"( the young Prince asked to his Senapati curiously)

" The Princess that I am talking about is Princess Sita or Maithili or Vaidehi or janki you can call her whatever you want princess of Mithila. Even after being the daughter of one of the strongest kings of Aryavart and being the eldest princess to one of the greatest empires of Aryavart she has such kindness,humility and positive in her heart it seems as though even in the darkest of the situations she can find this flicker of light. Oh my dear prince!
what should I tell you about her beauty, even the moon, the sun and all the stars combined would never be able to complete with even a nail of her finger.
She was born on the Navami Tithi during the Shukla paksha in the month of Vaishakh. Princess sita's beauty defies
All description .
the princess is kanaka vaarangi ( golden colored), she is neelakesi (black haired)
Bimbosthi ( lips that are bright Scarlet)
Padmapalasakshi ( one having eyes like Lotus Petals), her eyes are like neelothpala ( black 6 petald lotus)
And has a sumadhya(a beautiful waist)
She is so beautiful that even Rati would be shy. Her virtues and Goodwill so strong that I can't even bring myself to talk about it."

As the Senapati was giving her description Ram was feeling of similarity washing overhead as though he has known this person all his life.
Soon the Senapati after completing the description of princess Sita noticed that his Prince was holding a piece of cloth in his hand.
When he asked to the prince to show in the cloth The Prince gave it to him the Senapati had the cloth washed.
when he saw it carefully and noticed that the cloth had the karigari of Mithila and came to this realisation that the cloth belong to the princess he returned the cloth to his Prince while explaining everything to him.

The Prince thanked him about the information and then left to his room to pack . Soon it was the time for the princes to leave for the Vishwamitra Ashram. The Mother's cried and codled their kids The Princes managed to convince their mother to let them go. they took the blessings of their father and left.
