    Mrs.Janakar…

    Bro: She was found while ploughing land as a baby.
    King of Mithila’s adopted girl.
    She comes from the Soil and Goes into the Soil.

    Infact this is the whole controversy behind iraavana kaaviyam :-)

    Apparently…Ravana’s www (wine women work) apparently did sink very well :)

    Seeradhwaja Janaka. He was not a king actually, but more of a Raja Rishi of Videha a southern town near Nepal.

    Somewhere between the meeting point of Saraswati river this whole drama happened.

    Videha is on the north western border to the Karusha forest area which was dominated by Tataka. So Sri Ram from Ayodhya goes to Banks of Sarayu with Vishwamitra, kills Tataka and passes into to Videha and marries Sita.

    I believe the reference is Anantha ramayanam attributed to valmiki rather than iravana kaviyam by pulavar kuzhanthai.

    The name of janaka’s wife and the mother of sita is Sunanya.
    There is more reference to janaka on works of ashtavakra

    By terms of Adoption, Janaka is the Father, so there by his wife is assumed as mother.

    Actual mother of Sita, if I am right, is Ganesh’s question.

    That, am not sure if History can answer.

    Videha is a part of Mithila – the larger land.
    Videha was the kingdom that was bordering current Bihar/Jharkand & Nepal.

    There is a totally different philosophical meaning to the Janaka – Sita – Videha etc.

    Dont want to delve into them here.

    Yep. I was looking for biological mother of Sita.

    However, it was good to know sunanya was Mrs Janakar and actual name of Janaka was Seeradhwaja Janaka.

    Could it be possible that Mr and Mrs Janakar adopted sita and in order to hide the origin of princess they weaved the story of “bhumi putri” ?

    Deivame…

    Eppadi thalaiva ippadi ellam yosikiringa :)

    ennavo…Naradharin kalagam nanmayil thaan mudiyum….

    Yaar kuzhandhai padam mathiri irukku….

    But it does rake an important point, we have seen atleast one biological father or mother in various personalities.
    Be it Karna or Mary, this one is a unique prototype… worth investigating.

    Let me call some folks :)

    Other people who do not have any evident biological parents.
    Sita
    Andal
    Valli (I dont believe on that Mr.Rishi & Mrs.Deer story)

    Unique combo of these three are ‘all of them are related to bhumi’

    Sita was born of Mother Earth, bhooma devi..hence in the end of the Ramayana she goes back to her mother’s abode. According to other versions of the Ramayana Sita is Ravana’s daughter by Mandodharai who is abandoned as she is predicted to bring misfortune to her family.
