AYODHYAKANDA
65
"Tell me a plan. By what plan, O Manthara,
will Bharata get the kingdom, but not
Rama, in any case?"
एवमुक्ता तया देव्या कुब्जा वचनमब्रवीत् ॥
Being told thus by the queen, the hump-
backed (Manthara ) spoke these words :
क्रोधागारं प्रविश्याद्य क्रुद्धेवाश्वपतेः सुते ।
शेष्वानन्तर्हितायां त्वं भूमौ मलिनवासिनी ॥
"O daughter of Asvapati, enter now
the house of anger and lie down, clad
in dirty clothes, on the bare earth, like
an angry woman.
दयिता त्वं सदा भर्तुस्तत्र मे नास्ति संशयः ।
त्वत्कृते स महाराजो विशेदपि हुताशनः ॥
You are always the darling of your
husband. Of this, I have no doubt. For
your sake, that great king may even enter
the fire.
न त्वां क्रोधयितुं शक्तो न क्रुद्धां प्रत्युदीक्षितुम् ।
तव प्रियार्थ राजा हि प्राणानपि परित्यजत् ॥
He is not capable of making you angry,
nor can he look you in the face when angry.
To please you, the king would indeed give
up even his own life.
