न हि मन्ये नृशंसे त्वं राजधर्ममवेक्षसे | गतिं वा न विजानासि राजवृत्तस्य शाश्वतीम् || २-७३-२१
Oh ! cruel one I suppose neither have you any respect for the royal tradition nor are you aware of the everlasting benefit that ensues in following the royal tradition. [2-73-21]
सततं राजवृत्ते हि ज्येष्ठो राज्येऽभिषिच्यते | राज्ञामेतत्समं तत्स्यादिक्ष्वाकूणां विशेषतः || २-७३-२२
According to the established law of royalty, the eldest son is invariably crowned in the kingdom. This is true of all kings. This is a special tradition of the kings of the Ikshvaku race. [2-73-22]
As for the Ikshvaku kings, righteousness is their sole protection. They follow the ancestral traditions befitting the noble race. This tradition has been turned away by admitting you into the family. [2-73-23]
Oh ! woman of sinful disposition, I on my part will not fulfil your cherished desire. You have started a distressing deed to bring an end to my existence. [2-73-25]
