O noble one, forsaking us all, our father possessed of mighty arms, having performed this terrible task, in consequence of being urged by a woman, my mother Kaikeyi, has gone to heaven afflicted with grief on account of his son, O repressor of foes.
आर्य तातः परित्यज्य कृत्वा कर्म सुदुष्करम्। गतः स्वर्ग महाबाहुः पुत्रशोकाभिपीडितः॥ स्त्रिया नियुक्तः कैकेय्या मम मात्रा परंतप। चकार सा महत्पापमिदमात्मयशोहरम्॥
