Translation
From Hrasvaromā came a son named Śīradhvaja (also called Janaka). When Śīradhvaja was plowing a field for sacrifice, from the front of his plow appeared a daughter named Sītā. Thus he was known as Śīradhvaja. While plowing the field Sītā, the wife of Rāma, appeared from the front of his plow. Therefore he was called Śiradhvaja, one who has fame (dhvaja) because of a plow (śīra).
