Re: Where is the source of Sita Ji lifting the Shiva Dhanush during Her childhood?

I also stumbled accross these ‚lesser known facts about‘ websites and had to realize, that they tell stories which are not from the original Epic.
The source is just someone‘s phantasy. There are so many varities of the epics.
I know the tale this way: Sita and her friends were playing with a ball. The ball rolled under a box. Sita lifted this box to get the ball back. Seeing this Janaka couldn’t believe his eyes, he told Sita what‘s inside the box, Shiva‘s bow, impossible to lift. Then Sita declared that she will only marry that man, who can lift this bow.
By the way … there is a Mula Ramayana told by Narada to Valmiki. Valmiki had a story in mind, asked Narada for inspiration and Narada told him of Rama in 100 verses. Out of this 100 verses Valmiki created the Ramayana with 24.000 Verses. Out of this 24.000 verses all other Ramayanas and tales around sprouted. Isn't that great?
