various sciences like the science of archery, etc. have not been
taught to them and they haven’t practiced them. Instead, those
sciences have willingly chosen them and come to them.”

The king was extremely pleased on hearing this and heartily
appreciated the two princes’ expertise, sharpness and mastery
on all skills.

Here an obvious question is about to rise that :

“On learning that Luv and Kush were smarter and skillful than
his own children, wasn’t king Vajrajangha jealous of them ?
No. Sita’s royalty and greatness was responsible for it.

Sitaji’s exceptional qualities because of which the king was
not jealous :
(1) Her royal nature.
(2) Her pure character and her post as the king’s sister.
(3) Respect and courtesy for the king in her mind.
(4) Her affection and understanding with her loving sisters-
in-law.
(5) Her love for virtues.

Hence, the king immensely respected Sita and adored her
noble virtues.

Now, think that how would Sitaji have respected the king ?
How would she have displayed her gratitude for him ? What
would she be doing ?

To understand this, you have to understand a common rule –

What should you do to display courtesy for others ?

(1) First you should behave politely with them at all times.
Hence, when they call you instead of saying what
happened ?” you should say ‘Yes’.”
