You O girl, in consideration of your welfare, have like to a mother taken to your lap a venomous snake in the form of your husband, Even what is done by an enemy or a serpent left alone, is being done by Dasaratha of wicked ways and false soothing speech, to you and your own son.
शत्रुः पतिप्रवादेन मात्रेव हितकाम्यया। आशीविष इवाङ्गेन बाले परिधृतस्त्वया॥ यथा हि कुर्याच्छत्रुर्वा सर्पो वा प्रत्युपेक्षितः। राज्ञा दशरथेनाद्य सपुत्रा त्वं तथा कृता ॥
