\|/ Har Har Mahadev \|/

Mahadev, Parvati are watching the Swayamvar invitees coming. Janak welcomes all the participants. Mithila Naresh Janak declares, whoever will be able to tie pratyancha to this Shiv Dhanush, my daugher Sita will marry him. Vishwamitra comes with Ram & Lakshman. The invited kings are discussing about them as the one who had killed Taraka.

Janak's minister thanks all for coming to Mithila, now it's time for all to have darshan of the Shiv Dhanush. Janak himself will show that. Janak removes the cloth covering the Dhanush. Brhmaji, Saraswatiji, Naradji are watching this live. All the kings comes, joins hands to Shiv dhanush. Ram too comes, seeing it, thinks this is my Mahadev's dhanush. I am glad seeing it, this feeling is unexplainable.

Sita comes with Urmila. All the kings excited seeing her. But Sita's eyes are searching someone else. Urmila tells her, it seems you are searching someone but he is not here. Sita spots Ram, smiles, goes towards Janak & Sunayana. Minister takes names of the kings, who have come, they are king Chitraketu, Dhumraketu, Bhimsen, Banasur etc. They come one by one try to lift the dhanush but are unable.

Baliputra, Shonitpur Samrat Banasur, Mahadev Bhakta, is called.

Mahadev tells Parvati he is blessed with long life, is going to be proudy. In his next Avatar, Narayan will kill him.

Banasur trys hard but he can't. Minister announces his failure. Other kings are discussing it's better not to participate instead of getting humiliated. King Bhimsen is asked to come but he walks towards the exit. Everyone laughs at him. It's Sunset. All leave.

Sunayana is with Sita. Urmila comes, says seeing today's performance didi will be here for a long time. Sunayan tells her not to say so, some result will surely come tomorrow. Urmila tells Sita, some kings haven't yet got the chance to lift the dhanush. Sita asks who they are? 2 Prince, who are come with rishi Vishwamitra. Sunayana tells her they are not kings but are sons of Ayodhya 's king Dashrath. But among the kings who have come, someone will surely be able to lift the Dhanush. Ram & Lakshman are just guests, they only want to see the Swayamvar. Hearing this Sita is disheartened.

Precap: Ravan comes, tells Janaks you've invited all but forgot me. Who except me is capable of lifting this Shiv dhanush?

Mahadev says Ravan's ego will be hurt today. He'll experience his first defeat by Ram today.

No...As per Valmiki Ramayana...Rishi Vishwamitra had taken them to Mithila for specially this Swayamvar...& at that time,both Ram & Lakshman in shishya-student get up.😛

You are welcome😊
They would have looked better in Prince get up. But impact of Ram's act in normal cloths will be much more. The contrast between Ram & other kings in get up, strength will create much better impression about them.

I commented a bit on Banasura here - suffice it to say that there's nothing to suggest that he was there at this swayamvara. Or else, w/ his 1000 arms, he'd have picked up that bow like a twig.

Aside from the fact that Rama & Laksman were in their royal garb, and were that way since they left Ayodhya, they were very much participants in the swayamvar: they didn't go there just to admire Mahadev's bow.So what on earth is Sunayna saying that they're just here to watch? All the rulers present there took serious part in it, and Rama came up after everyone had failed.

But not b'cos he didn't want to, or wasn't a participant.

Minakshi, thanks for the update.
I have skimmed the episode. So cannot comment much. But liked it especially the scene where Sita is lying in Sunaina's lap. Sita is the one whose characterization I am liking the best so far in this version of Ramayan.
One thing I like in this show is the relationship they have shown between Sita and her adopted parents Janak/Sunaina and sister Urmila. Urmila was their real daughter and Sita the adopted one. Yet they had a unique bond with Sita. It has been shown before in other versions, but it has always been shown in a stuffy way. Here they are showing a more natural type relationship that exists regardless of whether one is princess or avataar. This is one thing I liked in episodes of Sati era too where they showed such type of scenes.
