Raghava, the great king, of great fame,
entered the lovely apartment of Kaikeyi,
like the moon entering the sky covered
with white clouds and with Rahu present
in it.

अपापः पापसङ्कल्
That old and sinless king saw his young
wife, dearer to him than even his own life
(lying) on the floor with a cruel resolve.

to his youthful wife :
आत्मनो
करिष्यामि तव प्रीतिं सुकृतेनापि ते शपे ॥

" Tell me what you desire in your mind.
With my own life, (if need be) I will do
your pleasure.
my good deeds.
I swear it to you on all
यं मुहूर्तमपश्यंस्तु न जीवेयमहं ध्रुवम् ।
तेन रामेण कैकेयि शपे ते वचनक्रियाम् ॥
