Ah! the rebutless, fell and sinful Kaikeyi intent upon impiety, having put by her honour, has resolved upon an exceedingly atrocious deed, she that exiles into the woods such a virtuous son of the monarch, endowed with high wisdom, kind, and having his senses under control.* *The N.W.P. text has an additional line: And of the reprehensible Kaikeyi intent upon cruel deeds.
हा नृशंसाद्य कैकेयी पापा पापानुबन्धिनि । तीक्ष्णा सम्भिन्नमर्यादा तीक्ष्णकर्मणि वर्तते॥ या पुत्रमीदृशं राज्ञः प्रवासयति धार्मिकम्। वनवासे महाप्राज्ञं सानुक्रोशं जितेन्द्रियम्॥
