Next day the sages and a vast throng assemble to witness Sita's oath

Full sarga summary

Next day the sages and a vast throng assemble to witness Sita's oath -- Valmiki leads in Sita, who follows with downcast face amid the crowd's acclaim, and declares that, though faultless, she was abandoned for fear of scandal, that her twin sons are Rama's, and swears by all his accumulated penance and his own sinlessness that she is pure.
