well urmilla and mandavi was not allowed to live like a tavaspani by there husband they live in rajmahal but they used to sleep on floor they dress like princess but they considered that useless because there husband was not there they dress like princess so that they dont hurt there mother inlaws and remind them of ram laxman sita and bharat
both urmilla and mandavi ask there husband to take her with them both of them refuse there wife and asked them to take care of kaushlya and sumitra
urmilla lead the life of tapasvani while livng the life as a princess
okay understood, like rajarshi janak: whoo inspite of being a king led the life of a hermit, similar his daughter and nieces
