Whole hall was filled with Excitement and happiness.
Everyone applauded as Ram picked up the Bow.
Resting the bow on the ground,He bend down and picked up the untied bow string.Adjusting his grip on the bow,Ram started to bend the another side of the bow to tie the knot.

Baaaaaannnnnnnnngggggggggg!!!!⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡

A loud thunder echoed in the whole universe,As everyone witnessed a Young Prince coming from Ayodhya with the Divine bow of Bhagwan Shiv broken into two halves.
Whole hall was filled with pin drop silence.
Everyone was shocked, because what they in front of their eyes was unbelievable.
Because Pinak,the mighty bow of Bhagwan Shiv,which was immovable by the greatest kings of whole Aryavart was not only lifted,but broken by a mere prince.
Janak and his family were having happy tears in their eyes.

Suddenly a king stood up with ragefull voice and said,"Ye saaf Anuchit hai.
Dashrath putr Ram ne Dhanush ko todkar Swayamvar ke niyamo ka ullanghan kiya hai.Iss Dhanush ka tootna Swayamvar ki purtata ke liye patr nahi kiya jayega."
(This is inappropriate.Son of Dashrath,Ram has broken the rules of the Swayamvar.Breaking of this Bow does not befitt to completion of the Swayamvar.)

Janak stood up and said,"Shant ho jaiye.Dashrath putr Ram, Raghuvanshi hai.Wohi Vansh jisme Raja Bhagirath, Harishchandra,Aj,jinka jeevan anukaraniy hai,unka janm hua hai.Isliye,Bina soche samjhe Inpe arop karna uchit nahi.Mei Raghunandan se puchta hu,ki unhone ye Dhanush kyu toda?"
(Calm down.Son of Dashrath Ram is a Raghuvanshi.The same Raghuvansh in which King Bhagirath, Harishchandra and Aj were born.Their life is inspirational to people even Today.So without thinking,it would be wrong if we blame him.I ask Raghunandan,why did he broke the Bow?"

Ram smiled and answered in a polite way joining his hands,"Adarniya Mithila Naresh,Mei Dashrath putr Ram kshama prarthi hu,ki mujhse ye Dhanush toot gaya.Ye Dhanush jo pujniya hai,iske darshan ki iccha se mei apne gurudev aur Anuj ke sath yaha aya tha.Na Jane kaise ye Dhanush mujhse bhang ho gaya,lekin iske tootne mei ek Pratikatmakta hai.Iss Swayamvar mei Jo ho raha tha,ise dekhkar mujhe laga ki aapki pratigya ke gudh arth ko na samjhe Bina Rajao ne ise ek spardha ka rup de diya aur iss spardha ka puraskar bana, Rajkumari Sita ko.Isi mansikta ko tootne ke liye iss dhanush ka bhang hona anivarya tha.Ab aap jo bhi nirnay le
Usme Rajkumari Sita ki sehmati honi chahiye.Agar wo mujhse vivah nahi karna chahti,to wohi unka aur aapka nirnay ho.Yahi Swayamvar ki safalta ka chinh banega.
(Respected King of Mithila,This Son of Dashrath Ram is sorry that this Bow is broken by me.I had came to see this divine Bow with my teacher and brother.I don't know how this Bow got broken,but this symbolises something.Whatever today happened in this Swayamvar,I think that the Kingsmen over here converted this Swayamvar into a competition,the prize of which is Your daughter Sita.In order to break this thought,it was essential to break the Bow.Now whatever would be your decision,it should be taken with Sita's consent.If she doesn't want to marry me,then it would be her choice.This would be considered as a symbolic of Success for this Swayamvar.)

Janak was happy and sanctified with these words.He looked towards Sita who was just staring Ram with eyes full of Affection and love.
Janak came next to her and asked about her decision.
Sita replied,"Mei dhanya hui Pitaji,aise purush ko dekhkar Jo apna purusharth siddh karne ke liye kisi stri ko nicha dikhana nahi samajhta.Aise purush jo apne kul ki parampara ke sath hi,ek stri ki bhavna ka vichar kare,unhe mei apne Pati ke rup mei swikar karna,mere liye Saubhagya ki baat hogi."
(I am sanctified Father,by seeing such a man who does not consider women inferior for Proving his masculinity.Such a man,Who takes care of His family's tradition as well as a women's thoughts,by selecting him as my husband is my good fortune)
Janak was having tears of happiness for his daughter.He caressed her face with love and ordered a dasi to bring the Garland.
