Who embellished with all kinds of arts and wearing white garments started very quickly.198.
She was surprised to listen to the sound of lyre, drum and other musical instruments,
And also saw on that wide plain the sound hailing the victory of ram Rajya was being heard.
Going near Kaikeyi she addressed her in this way :
“When the opportunity will go out of hand, then for whom you will ask for the boons?”199.
When Kaikeye heard all the account, she was completely full of anguish,
And fell down unconscious on the earth like the doe pierced by an arrow.
Going in the presence of king of Oudh, she said this :
“O king! You had promised to grant me two boons, grant them to me just now.200.
“Give exile to Ram and your kingdom, wealth, whisk an canopy-everything.
Give him ( Bharat) the kingdom, wealth, whisk and canopy-everything
“When you will grant me the ruling power over the inland and foreign countries,
“Then I shall consider you the observer of truthfulness and recognizer of righteousness.”201.
The king replied, “O sinful woman! What approbation you will gain by sending Ram to the forest?
“By such surpassing utterance of yours the ash of magnificence on my forehead has flown down with the upcoming perspiration.”
The king taking his bow in his hand said this angrily, “I would have chopped and thrown you just now,
“And destroyed you, but I let you go because you are a woman.”202.

Rama is the lord of men and gods
“The superb god amongst men is Ram who is certainly the abode of Dhrma,
O foolish woman! You from (your) mind
“O foolish woman! why are you uttering such contrary words?203.
Rama is the God of endless progress,
“He is unfathomable and infinite god and is highly seated beyond all elements.
