O Sumitrā's son, on my dying for Sītā and your returning (to the city). shall Kaikeyi have her desire, and attain felicity; and shall Kausalyā, her son dead, and herself wearing the guise of a female mendicant, humbly wait upon Kaikeyi when she shall have succeeded in obtaining the kingdom for her son?
सीतानिमित्तं सौमित्रे मृते मयि गते त्वयि। कच्चित् सकामा कैकेयी सुखिता सा भविष्यति॥ सपुत्रराज्यां सिद्धार्थां मृतपुत्रा तपस्विनी। उपस्थास्यति कौसल्या कच्चित्सौम्येन कैकयीम्॥
