Meaning

and his heart, given wholly over to her, was ever devoted to her alone. Through her virtue and the virtue of her beauty his love grew ever greater still, and her husband dwelt doubly within her heart. What lay within the heart, the heart made plainly known through the heart alone; and to him especially, Maithili, Janaka's own daughter, Sita, equal to the goddesses in form, was as Shri herself embodied.
