AYODHYAKANDA
61
The nurse bursting with supreme delight,
related to the hump-backed Manthara, the
rising fortune of Raghava.
धात्र्यास्तु वचनं श्रुत्वा मन्थरा पापदर्शिनी ।
शयानामेत्य कैकेयीमिदं 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 स्त्रोत 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.
anoint
रामं दशरथो राजा यौवराज्येऽभिषेक्ष्यति ।
उग्रत्वं राजधर्माणां कथं देवि न बुध्यसे ॥
King Dasaratha is going to
Rama as Yuvaraja. How is it, O queen,
you do not understand cruelty to be one
of the attributes of kings?
धर्मवादी शठो भर्ता लक्षणवादी च दारुणः ।
शुद्धभावेन जानीषे तेनै मतिसन्धिता ।
