You being present, they have reduced me to this miserable plight, I do not know what else they will do, you being away; there is death certain for me, Oh my darling! Being disregarded by my husband I have been greatly insulted, I am equal to the maid-servants of Kaikeyi or even inferior to them.
त्वयि संनिहितेऽप्येवमहमासं निराकृता। किं पुनः प्रोषिते तात ध्रुवं मरणमेव हि॥ अत्यन्तं निगृहीतास्मि भर्तुर्नित्यमसम्मता। परिवारेण कैकेय्याः समा वाप्यथवावरा।॥
