After completion of yagna, Janaka came to vISWAMITRA And told him about the great bow.Emperor Nimis sixth son was Devarathudu.Shiva kept this bow and arrows with Devarathudu.During Dakshayagna, Shiva was angry and threatened Devathas that he would destroy them with this bow.They were afraid and pleaded with Shiva. he got pacified and gave the bow to his forefather ,Deva rathudu.

Janaka wanted to give Seetha to the most eligible person.So he stated that whoever lifted the bow and used it properly , he would be given his daughter in marriage.Kings who failed in this, waged a war against Janaka. Then Janaka did a thapa and Devatha s blessed him with cavalry. infantry etc to defeat his enemies.

JaNKA DIRECTE D HIS MEN TO bring the DHANUSH.Five thousand strong men brought it on a eight wheeled platform.Shrirama asked their permission to see it and then use it. AsHE LIFTED IT and tried touse it broke into pieces with a thunderous sound.Janaka told Viswamitra that he would like to give his daughter in marriage to Rama . HE would send his men to bring Dasaratha.But Rama said that without his fathers approval he would not marry Seetha.Dasaratha was happy to know about Ramas marriage and he disclosed the information toVasishta and Vamadeva.If all assent ,they would go to Mithila the next day.
