from Ramayana: Divine Loophole
The blue prince [Rama] rejected Sita for having spent so many nights in another man’s home. The princess felt so disgraced and heartbroken that she asked Lakshman to build her a cremation fire. (1)

Sita looked at Rama. Her eyes flashed fire.
“Unworthy words have you spoken!” she said. “My ears have heard them and my heart is broken. The uncultured (2) may speak such words but not one nobly born and brought up like you. Your anger, it seems, has destroyed your understanding. My lord does not remember the family from which I come. Janaka, the great seer, was my father and he brought me up. Is it my fault that the wicked Rakshasa seized me by force and imprisoned me? But since this is how you look at it, there is but one course open to me.”
Then turning to Lakshmana, “Fetch the [sticks], Lakshmana, and kindle (3) a fire,” she said.
