Explanation

This was the famous Shiva Dhanush (bow of Shiva) that only Rama could lift and string. King Janaka had received this divine bow from Lord Shiva and set it as the condition for marrying Sita - any suitor who could string it would win her hand. The bow was extremely heavy and sacred, impossible for ordinary mortals to wield.
