प्रमुदित मुनिन्ह भावँरीं फेरीं। नेगसहित सब रीति निवेरीं॥ राम सीय सिर सेंदुर देहीं। सोभा कहि न जाति बिधि केहीं॥

पानिग्रहन जब कीन्ह महेसा। हियँ हरषे तब सकल सुरेसा॥ बेदमन्त्र मुनिबर उच्चरहीं। जय जय जय संकर सुर करहीं॥

सुनु सिय सत्य असीस हमारी। पूजिहि मन कामना तुम्हारी॥ नारद बचन सदा सुचि साचा। सो बरु मिलिहि जाहिं मनु राचा॥

pramudita muninha bhāvam̐rīṃ pherīṃ। negasahita saba rīti niverīṃ॥ rāma sīya sira seṃdura dehīṃ। sobhā kahi na jāti bidhi kehīṃ॥

pānigrahana jaba kīnha mahesā। hiyam̐ haraṣe taba sakala suresā॥ bedamantra munibara uccarahīṃ। jaya jaya jaya saṃkara sura karahīṃ॥

sunu siya satya asīsa hamārī। pūjihi mana kāmanā tumhārī॥ nārada bacana sadā suci sācā। so baru milihi jāhiṃ manu rācā॥

Legends Associated with Vivah Panchmi

It is believed that King Janaka got Mata Sita from the earth. Once, King Janaka was ploughing the field and all of a sudden, he found a girl crying. He brought the girl home and started looking after her. She was named as Sita and she is also known by the name of Janak Nandini.

It is said that Mata Sita lifted the bow of Lord Shiva and after which, king Janaka decided that whosoever god would lift the same i.e. Dhanush, he would arrange the marriage of his daughter with the same god. After this, no god could lift the same besides Lord Shri Rama.

The Swayamvar of Mata Sita was arranged and prince(s) from far off places came but nobody could lift the bow (Dhanush). At the end, King Janaka got upset and asked, “Is nobody capable of marrying my daughter?”

Then, Maharishi Vashistha asked Lord Rama to place the arrow on Shiva’s Dhanush. Obeying the orders of Guru, he tried to do the same but Dhanush got broken and thus, Mata Sita got married to Lord Rama.

Vivah/Marriage not to be Performed on this Panchmi 

Although Vivah Panchmi holds immeasurable significance in the realm of Hinduism, you will be surprised to know that marriages are not arranged on this very day. This thing is highly considered in Mithilanchal and Nepal as the tradition of not arranging marriages has been followed over the years. 

The belief stated behind this that the married life of Mata Sita was extremely painful and therefore, people avoid marrying on the day of Vivah Panchami. After the exile of 14 years, Lord Shri Rama sacrificed pregnant Mata Sita and she never had the privilege of becoming a queen and therefore, marriages are not arranged on this very day. 

There is a belief among people pertaining to this very day that if a marriage ceremony is arranged on this day, a person’s married life becomes as painful as that of Mata Sita.
