Sītā Upanishad
The gods ask Prajāpati: who is Sītā, and of what form?
A first slice is open
Sītā as primordial Prakṛti and divine power.
The Sītā Upanishad (Muktika 45, Atharvaveda) is a Śākta teaching, not a retelling of the Rāmāyaṇa plot. The gods ask Prajāpati who Sītā is. He answers that She is remembered as mūlaprakṛti, that She is threefold as icchā, jñāna and kriyā śakti, and that She is named Mahālakṣmī in one of Her public forms.
This page keeps the Upanishadic Sītā distinct from the epic biography opened in the Vālmīki room. Letter-mysticism of the name is noted as traditional reading, not as a mantra to be extracted.
