ShRI sItA-lakshmaNa-bharata-Shatrughna-hanUmat samEta
ShRIrAmAbhirAn tiruvaDigaLE caraNam.
I know this is a belated post and request, but I just stumbled upon
the posting on ShRI rAma's lineage in conjuction with the sItA-rAma
kalyANam, the last on which subject I am writing this post and
request. The following is the Sanskrit cUrNikA on the description
of the wedding between ShRI rAmAbhirAn and ShRI sItA pirATTi, for
which I wondered whether posters could provide the meaning. Thank
you.
