*Once upon a time, she was coming alongside (i.e. accompanying) Lord Shiva to his
abode^1 when they saw Lord Ram^2 who is like a sun for the lotus-like race of kings
tracing their lineage to Raghu^3. (7)
Unfortunately, Sati was overcome with delusions (and thought that Lord Ram
was an ordinary human prince)^4. Lord Shiva tried his best to overcome Sati’s doubts
and delusions about Lord Ram (by trying to convince her that what she thinks of Lord
Ram is not correct, and that she should banish such irreverent and impertinent
thoughts from her mind)^5 , but she wouldn’t listen to his advice^6.
She was so overcome with delusions and its accompanying doubts that she
(did not believe what Shiva had said and therefore) assumed the form of Sita (Lord
Ram’s wife) (in order to verify Shiva’s assertions about Lord Ram and to ascertain the
Lord’s divinity by testing him personally)^7. (8)

(^3) This is a metaphoric way of saying that just like the sun makes the lotus flower
open its petal and reveal its magnificent beauty, the birth of Lord Ram (who was Lord
Vishnu in a human form) in the family of kings descending from the ancient king
Raghu of Ayodhya added glory and honour to the entire race of these kings.

abandoned by Lord Shiva has been narrated elsewhere also—(i) Anand Ramayan,
