LORD RAMACANDRA BREAKS THE BOW OF SIVA

The pastimes of Lord Ramacandra are all wonderful. In the assembly where mother Sitä was to choose her husband, in the midst of the greatest heroes of this world, He broke the bow belonging to Lord Siva. This bow was so heavy that it was carried by three hundred men, but Lord Ramacandra bent and strung it and broke it in the middle, just as a baby elephant breaks a stick of sugarcane. Thus the Lord achieved the hand of mother Sita, who was equally as endowed with transcendental qualities of form, beauty, behavior, age and nature. Indeed, she was the goddess of fortune who constantly rests on the chest of the Lord.
