She has infinite secrets! She is the secret behind all secrets! she is Mahamaya herself. She is unknowable and her infinite essence can never be understood by our tiny brains. She is the secret of all secrets. The weaver of destiny and the mistress of the Panchamahabhuta’s.As we can never define her glory, we can only wonder at the unfathomable unthinkable form of Shri Janaki ji, therefore for limited Jiva’s Goswami Tulsidas ji has instructed as follows-
Shri Ramcharitmanas (Balkand) - Goswami ji himself says it is impossible to explain her glory and falls short of words.
Siya sobhā nahiṃ jāi bakhānī,
Jagadambikā rūpa guṇa khānī
Shri Sita’s glory cannot be described in words. She is the supreme mother of the world with infinite source of forms and attributes.
There is no way to describe the glory of Ma Maithili who simply tolerated Ravana so that he could just be slain by Bhagavan Shri Rama. Ravana was living at Mata Sita’s grace. If She wanted she would have destroyed him easily. This Ma Sita herself warns Ravana about.
Valmiki Ramayan Sundara Khand
O Dashagriva! You deserve to be burnt down. Yet, I am not burning you down with my energy. I belong to the intelligent Rama and you are incapable of abducting me. There is no doubt that this has been ordained by destiny for the sake of you being killed. You used your bravery against your brother, the lord of riches, who possessed strength. However, for Rama, why did you resort to stealing his wife?’
This is well repeated even by Hanuman ji, that Ma Sita can take on the form of Kalaratri and destroy Ravana and his whole Lanka if she desires.
Valmiki Ramayan Sundara Khand
"Know her, whom you recognize as Seetha and who stays in your captivity, to be none else than Kalaratri (the goddess presiding over and responsible for dissolution), who can destroy the entire Lanka."
We can say that Mata Sita herself was the destroyer of Ravana. She orchestrated his entire destruction through her Leela. This is repeated by Hanuman ji.
Valmiki Ramayan Yuddha Khand - .
"O the divine lady! I am telling a pleasant news and again eulogizing you. O Seetha, the knower of righteousness! Rama accomplished this great victory in the battle, because of your power. Be free from your grief and be comfortable."
Valmiki Ramayana Sundara Kanda- The three worlds which are created from her glory, is not even a fraction of her absolute essence.
Were the dominion of the Three Worlds on one side and Sita, born of Janaka, on the other, the former would not equal a fraction of the latter; such is the virtuous daughter of the magnanimous King of Mithila, who is wholly devoted to her lord.
Mata Sita is Mula Prakriti herself who in union with Shri Rama creates preserves and destroys everything. Thus state the Vedas.
Sita Upanishad (Atharva Ved)
śrīrāma-sānnidhya-vaśāj jagad-ānanda-kāriṇī |
utpatti-sthiti-saṃhāra-kāriṇī sarva-dehinām |
sītā bhagavatī jñeyā mūlaprakṛti-saṃjñitā ||
In union with Shri Rama, the universe She sustains; All embodied beings She brings forth, sustains and withdraws. Know Sita as the divine, the supreme goddess, known as Mūlaprakṛti (the fundamental nature).
She is the mother of the Panchamahabhuts and all glorious attributes.
Adbhut Ramayana
Janaki is an image or personification of Prakriti. She is the primary primordial force present even before the creation of the basic Bhuts (elements) of life came into existence. She is endowed with great, majestic, stupendous, and wonderful virtues of powers, strength, potential, and prowess. She is an embodiment of the rewards obtained by doing Tapa (severe austerities, penances, and observing strict religious vows. She embodies success in obtaining heaven (or an exalted stature, both in this world as well as in heaven. She is majesty, fame, glory, grandeur, renown, success, accomplishment, good fortunes, and potential personified, and she embodies all of them in herself.
She is the very being who manifests as the Vedas and all gods. What greater secret exists? She is the secret which can never be known.
Sita Upanishad (Atharva Ved)
10. She here is all the Vedas; all the gods; all the worlds; all renown; all virtue; all ground, effect and cause; the great Beauty of the Lord of gods. She has a form which is different and yet the same. She is the essence of the intelligent and the inert. She is all, from Brahma to stocks and stones. She is embodied, owing to distinctions of attributes and activities. She assumes the forms of gods, sages, men and Gandharvas; of demons, fiends, spirits, ghosts, goblins, etc.; and of the elements, sense-organs, mind and the vital breaths.
The Vedas say that Ma Jagadambika Shri Sita, is Kalatit which means she is beyond all boundaries of time. She is the most ancient secret to exist and therefore can never be known.
Tara Sara Upanishad clearly calls Mata Sita as Kalatita which literally means NOT BOUND BY TIME or TIMELESS
4. Kalatita is known as the goddess Sita Herself. That which is beyond is the Paramatman named Sri Rama and is the highest Purusha. All this is the explanation of the letter Om, which is the past, the present and future and which is other than these (viz.,) Tattva, Mantra, Varna (colour), Devata (deity), Chhandas (metre), Rik, Kala, Sakti and Srishti (creation). He who knows this becomes immortal. (Thus is) Yajur-Veda with the second foot”.
the Adbhuta Ramayana agrees with this statement that she is even beyond Mahakala. That beyond Kala is Mahakala, but that beyond Mahakala is her.
Adbhut Ramayana Canto 25
Ayodhyānīlayā vīrā mahākālasamudbhavā |
Vidyāsvīkṛtasiddhā vidyādharapatiḥ || 132 ||"
You are a resident of Ayodhya (as Sita)1. You are brave, valiant, strong, courageous, heroic, bold, daring, mighty and eminent2. You are the creator of Maha Kaal3. You act most wisely and sagaciously, because you are adroit and enlightened like those who are known as Vidyadhars 4. You have mystical powers, are accomplished, successful and fulfilled5. You are formless, attributeless and subtle like the Vidyadhars.
