Question
Translations of one epic differ in whether this woman chose or was forced to enter a fire as a sign of chastity for her husband. For 10 points each:
[10m] Name this avatar of Lakshmi who marries a Prince of Ayodhya. Hanuman discovered that this woman was kidnapped by Ravana and held on Lanka.
ANSWER: Sita
[10e] Sita’s kidnapping drives this epic by Valmiki (“vahl-MEE-kee”) titled for an avatar of Vishnu. This epic and the Mahabharata (“muh-hah-BAH-ruh-tuh”) are the two most prominent in Hinduism.
ANSWER: Ramayana
