कैकेय्याः प्रतिपत्तिर्हि कथं स्यान्मम पीडने । यदि भावो न दैवो अयम् कृत अन्त विहितः भवेत् ॥ २-२२-१६

If this thought and my misfortune were not caused in Kaikeyi by destiny, how could she muster such determination to inflict pain on me? ॥ 2-22-16॥

Inconceivable is the power of destiny. Its impact on all beings cannot be averted. That an adversity has befallen me and Kaikeyi is (therefore) evident. ॥ 2-22-20॥
