राज्याद्भ्रंशस्व कैकेयि नृशंसे दुष्टचारिणि | परित्यक्ता च धर्मेण मा मृतं रुदती भव || २-७४-२
- 'Oh ! cruel Kaikeyi of wicked conduct, you may be deprived of the kingdom. Abandoned by righteousness, you shall be weeping for me after my death. [2-74-2]
Death for the king and exile for Rama, similar fate for both, have befallen on your account. What possible harm, either the king or the highly virtuous Rama has done to you? [2-74-3]
भ्रूणहत्यामसि प्राप्ता कुलस्यास्य विनाशनात् | कैकेयि नरकं गच्छ मा च भर्तुः सलोकताम् || २-७४-४
Oh ! Kaikeyi by destroying this race you have earned the demerit of killing an embryo and shall enter hell. You shall never attain the same state of living, in the afterworld of your husband. [2-74-4]
That by doing this horrible deed you have committed a great sin of renouncing Rama, the beloved of all worlds. Therefore I am overtaken by fear. [2-74-5]
