[INDOLOGY] A distraction from the Coronavirus

Wed Apr 1 06:14:15 UTC 2020

Excellent proof for the pureness of Sita:

कोरोणाव्याध्यसंक्रान्ता सीतादेवी निरामया ।
तन्न स्पृष्टा हि लङ्कायाम् इति रामस्य प्रत्ययः ॥

Sita was well and not infected by the Corona virus,
so she was surely not touched in Lanka - this was Ramas conviction.
