Jain Ramayan-parampara ke anusar Sita ne pichhle janm (poorva-bhav) mein “Vegavati” (kuchh granthon mein “Vedavati”) ke roop mein ek Muniraj “Sudarshan” par jhootha apvād (kalank) lagāyā tha. Us asatya-apvād ke karmaphal se Sita ko is janm mein lok-apvād aur parīkṣāon ka samnā karna pada; ant mein unka sāti-tv aur pavitrata sabit hui aur ve Jain maryādā ke anurūp sanyam-grāhan karti dikhāyī gayī.

• Shvetāmbara granthon (jaise Vimalasūri kṛt Paumachariya aur Hemachandra kṛt Triṣaṣṭiśalākāpuruṣacaritra) mein naam “Vegavati/Vedavati” aur Muniraj “Sudarshan” ka varṇan miltā hai.
• Digambara kathā-pravāh (jaise Padmapurāṇa, Uttarapurāṇa) mein bhi mūl-tatparya yahi hai; kabhi-kabhi keval nāmon mein antar dikhāī detā hai, artha vahī rehtā hai.

Sār: Sita ne Muniraj par kalank apne Vegavati (Vedavati) rūp ke pichhle bhav mein lagāyā thā; vahī karmaphal unke Ramayan-yug ke duḥkhon ka kāraṇ banā, par antatah unka sātitv nirmal pramānit hotā hai.
