So Lord Rama Taught  Goddess  Sita, Dhanurveda-the science of Archery.She took a very fierce form and flew  in Pushpaka Vimana  and arrived to Kill N Mulaka, When Mulaka came to to know  the being with fierce form was only a lady  , he laughed uproariously, after a great fight Goddess  Sita killed Mulaka. Lord Brahma praised  her using this prayer)
