Lakşmaņa, what had been wished for by Kaikeyi with reference to us, (has taken place), and the dear boon (that she had asked) has born fruit. That far-sighted lady, my second mother, who had not been satisfied with having secured the kingdom in the interests of her son, and by whom I that was dear to her above all other creatures, had been banished to the woods, has to-day her wishes crowned with success.
अत्यन्तसुखसंवृद्धां राजपुत्रीं यशस्विनीम्। यदभिप्रेतमस्मासु प्रियं वरवृतं च यत्॥ कैकेयास्तु सुसंवृत्तं क्षिप्रमद्यैव लक्ष्मण। या न तुष्यति राज्येन पुत्रार्थं दीर्घदर्शिनी॥ ययाहं सर्वभूतानां प्रियः प्रस्थापितो वनम्। अद्येदानीं सकामा सा या माता मध्यमा मम॥
