What, O timid one, is the use of afflicting yourself thus? O beauteous damsel, arise, arise. Do you, O Kaikeyi, unfold to me the cause whence has proceeded your fear. On hearing the reason, I will dispel it, even as the sun dried up the due.
किमायासेन ते भीरु उत्तिष्ठोत्तिष्ठ शोभने। तत्त्वं मे ब्रूहि कैकेयि यतस्ते भयमागतम्। तत् ते व्यपनयिष्यामि नीहारमिव रश्मिवान्॥
