tāhāñi karila kūrma-purāṇa śravaṇa māyā-sītā nileka rāvaṇa, tāhāte likhana
At Rāmeśvara, Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu had a chance to read the Kūrma Purāṇa, in which He discovered that the form of Sītā kidnapped by Rāvaṇa was not that of the real Sītā but a mere shadow representation.

The Kūrma Purāṇa states that this shadowy Sītā was placed into a fire as a test of chastity. It was Māyā-sītā who entered the fire and the real Sītā who came out of the fire.

— A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda
