AYODHYAKANDA
The nurse bursting with supreme
delight, related to the hump-backed Man-
thara, the rising furtune of Raghava.
धात्र्यास्तु वचनं श्रुत्वा मन्थरा पापदर्शिनी ।
शयानामेत्य कैकेयी मिदं वचनमब्रवीत् ॥
But hearing the nurse's words Manthara
of evil intent, approached the reposing
Kaikeyi and said these words:
उत्तिष्ठ मूढे किं शेषे सौभाग्येन विकत्यसे ।
चलं हि तव सौभाग्यं नद्याः स्रोत इवोष्णगे ॥

" Rise O fool ! Why are you abed ?
Why do you boast of your good fortune?
For your good fortune is as unsteady as
river currents in summer.
राम दशरथो राजा यौवर ज्येऽमिषेक्ष्यति ।
उग्रत्वं राजधर्माणां कथं देवि न बुध्यसे ।
King Dasaratha is going to anoint
Rama as Yuvaraja. How is it, O queen,
you do not understand cruelty to be one
of the attributes of kings ?
धर्मवादी शठो भर्ता लक्ष्णवादी च दारुणः ॥
शुद्धभावेन जानीषे तेनैवभतिसन्धिता ॥
