Then, the Ikṣvāku prince (Rāma), distressed here by his vow, repeatedly spoke these words to Sumantra, sighing deeply with tears.

Let the courtesans and excellent women, along with the very wealthy merchants, being widely deployed, grace the prince's retinue (vāhinī).

And those who depend on him, and those through whose valor he himself takes delight, having given various gifts to them, employ them here as well.

Any grain stores and treasuries that belong to me should follow Rāma as he dwells in the solitary forest.

He will perform sacrifices in sacred places, distributing appropriate ritual fees (dakṣiṇā), and having associated with sages (ṛṣi), he will live comfortably in the forest.

And the mighty-armed Bharata will govern Ayodhyā. Furthermore, the glorious Rāma should be brought back (or persuaded to return) with all his wishes (kāma) fulfilled.

As Kakutstha (Rāma) spoke thus, fear seized Kaikeyi. Her face dried up, and her voice became choked.
सा विषण्णा च संत्रस्ता कैकेयी वाक्यमब्रवीत् ।

10.
Distressed and terrified, Kaikeyi said these words: "O virtuous one, Bharata will not accept the kingdom, which will be devoid of people, utterly tasteless, and empty, just like liquor from which the essence has been drunk."
कैकेय्यां मुक्तलज्जायां वदन्त्यामतिदारुणम् ।

11.
As Kaikeyi, having abandoned all shame, spoke very cruelly, King Daśaratha said to the broad-eyed one (Kaikeyi), "Why do you torment me, who am already bearing this burden, having yoked me to a heavy task?"
कैकेयी द्विगुणं क्रुद्धा राजानमिदमब्रवीत् ।
तवैव वंशे सगरो ज्येष्ठं पुत्रमुपारुधत् ।
असमञ्ज इति ख्यातं तथायं गन्तुमर्हति ॥१२॥
तवैव वंशे सगरो ज्येष्ठं पुत्रमुपारुधत् ।
असमञ्ज इति ख्यातं तथायं गन्तुमर्हति ॥१२॥
12. kaikeyī dviguṇaṃ kruddhā rājānamidamabravīt ,
tavaiva vaṃśe sagaro jyeṣṭhaṃ putramupārudhat ,
asamañja iti khyātaṃ tathāyaṃ gantumarhati.
tavaiva vaṃśe sagaro jyeṣṭhaṃ putramupārudhat ,
asamañja iti khyātaṃ tathāyaṃ gantumarhati.
12.
kaikeyī dviguṇam kruddhā rājānam idam
abravīt tava eva vaṃśe sagaraḥ
jyeṣṭham putram upārudhat asamañjaḥ
iti khyātam tathā ayam gantum arhati
abravīt tava eva vaṃśe sagaraḥ

12.
kaikeyī dviguṇam kruddhā rājānam idam
abravīt tava eva vaṃśe sagaraḥ

abravīt tava eva vaṃśe sagaraḥ
jyeṣṭham asamañjaḥ iti khyātam putram
upārudhat tathā ayam gantum arhati
12.
Kaikeyi, now twice as enraged, said this to the king: "Indeed, in your own lineage, Sagara banished his eldest son, known as Asamañja. In the same way, this one (Rama) should also go."
एवमुक्तो धिगित्येव राजा दशरथो ऽब्रवीत् ।
व्रीडितश्च जनः सर्वः सा च तन्नावबुध्यत ॥१३॥
व्रीडितश्च जनः सर्वः सा च तन्नावबुध्यत ॥१३॥
13. evamukto dhigityeva rājā daśaratho'bravīt ,
vrīḍitaśca janaḥ sarvaḥ sā ca tannāvabudhyata.
vrīḍitaśca janaḥ sarvaḥ sā ca tannāvabudhyata.
13.

ca sarvaḥ janaḥ vrīḍitaḥ ca sā tat na avabudhyata
ca sarvaḥ janaḥ vrīḍitaḥ ca sā tat na avabudhyata
13.
When spoken to in this manner, King Daśaratha simply exclaimed, "Fie!" All the people present were ashamed, but she (Kaikeyi) did not comprehend it.
तत्र वृद्धो महामात्रः सिद्धार्थो नाम नामतः ।
शुचिर्बहुमतो राज्ञः कैकेयीमिदमब्रवीत् ॥१४॥
शुचिर्बहुमतो राज्ञः कैकेयीमिदमब्रवीत् ॥१४॥
14. tatra vṛddho mahāmātraḥ siddhārtho nāma nāmataḥ ,

14.
Then, an aged chief minister named Siddhartha, who was pure and highly respected by the king, said this to Kaikeyi.
असमञ्जो गृहीत्वा तु क्रीडितः पथि दारकान् ।
सरय्वाः प्रक्षिपन्नप्सु रमते तेन दुर्मतिः ॥१५॥
सरय्वाः प्रक्षिपन्नप्सु रमते तेन दुर्मतिः ॥१५॥
15. asamañjo gṛhītvā tu krīḍitaḥ pathi dārakān ,

sarayvāḥ prakṣipannapsu ramate tena durmatiḥ.
15.
asamañjaḥ gṛhītvā tu krīḍitaḥ pathi dārakān
sarayvāḥ prakṣipan apsu ramate tena durmatiḥ
sarayvāḥ prakṣipan apsu ramate tena durmatiḥ
15.
durmatiḥ asamañjaḥ tu pathi krīḍitaḥ dārakān
gṛhītvā sarayvāḥ apsu prakṣipan tena ramate
gṛhītvā sarayvāḥ apsu prakṣipan tena ramate
15.
Asamañja, that wicked one, having seized the boys who had been playing on the road, would throw them into the waters of the Sarayu and find delight in that act.
तं दृष्ट्वा नागरः सर्वे क्रुद्धा राजानमब्रुवन् ।
असमञ्जं वृषीण्वैकमस्मान् वा राष्ट्रवर्धन ॥१६॥
असमञ्जं वृषीण्वैकमस्मान् वा राष्ट्रवर्धन ॥१६॥
16. taṃ dṛṣṭvā nāgaraḥ sarve kruddhā rājānamabruvan ,
asamañjaṃ vṛṣīṇvaikamasmān vā rāṣṭravardhana.
asamañjaṃ vṛṣīṇvaikamasmān vā rāṣṭravardhana.
16.
tam dṛṣṭvā nāgarāḥ sarve kruddhāḥ rājānam abruvan
asamañjam vṛṇīṣva ekam asmān vā rāṣṭravardhana
asamañjam vṛṇīṣva ekam asmān vā rāṣṭravardhana
16.
rāṣṭravardhana! sarve kruddhāḥ nāgarāḥ tam dṛṣṭvā
rājānam abruvan asamañjam vā asmān ekam vṛṇīṣva
rājānam abruvan asamañjam vā asmān ekam vṛṇīṣva
16.
Having seen him (doing this), all the enraged citizens said to the king, "O enhancer of the kingdom, choose either Asamañja or us!"
तानुवाच ततो राजा किंनिमित्तमिदं भयम् ।
ताश्चापि राज्ञा संपृष्टा वाक्यं प्रकृतयो ऽब्रुवन् ॥१७॥
ताश्चापि राज्ञा संपृष्टा वाक्यं प्रकृतयो ऽब्रुवन् ॥१७॥
17. tānuvāca tato rājā kiṃnimittamidaṃ bhayam ,
tāścāpi rājñā saṃpṛṣṭā vākyaṃ prakṛtayo'bruvan.
tāścāpi rājñā saṃpṛṣṭā vākyaṃ prakṛtayo'bruvan.
17.
tān uvāca tataḥ rājā kimnimittam idam bhayam tāḥ
ca api rājñā sampṛṣṭāḥ vākyam prakṛtayaḥ abruvan
ca api rājñā sampṛṣṭāḥ vākyam prakṛtayaḥ abruvan
17.
tataḥ rājā tān uvāca,
"idam bhayam kimnimittam?" ca api rājñā sampṛṣṭāḥ tāḥ prakṛtayaḥ vākyam abruvan
"idam bhayam kimnimittam?" ca api rājñā sampṛṣṭāḥ tāḥ prakṛtayaḥ vākyam abruvan
17.
Then the king said to them, "What is the cause of this fear?" And they, the citizens (prakṛti), being questioned by the king, spoke these words.
क्रीडितस्त्वेष नः पुत्रान्बालानुद्भ्रान्तचेतनः ।
सरय्वां प्रक्षिपन्मौर्ख्यादतुलां प्रीतिमश्नुते ॥१८॥
सरय्वां प्रक्षिपन्मौर्ख्यादतुलां प्रीतिमश्नुते ॥१८॥
18. krīḍitastveṣa naḥ putrānbālānudbhrāntacetanaḥ ,

sarayvāṃ prakṣipanmaurkhyādatulāṃ prītimaśnute.
18.

sarayvām maurkhyāt prakṣipan atulām prītim aśnute
sarayvām maurkhyāt prakṣipan atulām prītim aśnute
18.
This individual, whose mind is bewildered, foolishly throws our children into the Sarayu river while playing, and thereby attains unparalleled joy (prīti).
स तासां वचनं श्रुत्वा प्रकृतीनां नराधिप ।
तं तत्याजाहितं पुत्रं तासां प्रियचिकीर्षया ॥१९॥
तं तत्याजाहितं पुत्रं तासां प्रियचिकीर्षया ॥१९॥
19. sa tāsāṃ vacanaṃ śrutvā prakṛtīnāṃ narādhipa ,

taṃ tatyājāhitaṃ putraṃ tāsāṃ priyacikīrṣayā.
19.
saḥ tāsām vacanam śrutvā prakṛtīnām narādhipa

narādhipa saḥ tāsām prakṛtīnām vacanam śrutvā
tāsām priyacikīrṣayā tam ahitam putram tatyāja
tāsām priyacikīrṣayā tam ahitam putram tatyāja
19.
O king (narādhipa), upon hearing the words of those subjects (prakṛti), he abandoned that harmful son, wishing to do what was pleasing to them.
इत्येवमत्यजद् राजा सगरो वै सुधार्मिकः ।
रामः किमकरोत् पापं येनैवमुपरुध्यते ॥२०॥
रामः किमकरोत् पापं येनैवमुपरुध्यते ॥२०॥
20. ityevamatyajad rājā sagaro vai sudhārmikaḥ ,
rāmaḥ kimakarot pāpaṃ yenaivamuparudhyate.
rāmaḥ kimakarot pāpaṃ yenaivamuparudhyate.
20.
iti evam atyajat rājā sagaraḥ vai sudhārmikaḥ
rāmaḥ kim akarot pāpam yena evam uparudhyate
rāmaḥ kim akarot pāpam yena evam uparudhyate
20.
iti evam vai sudhārmikaḥ rājā sagaraḥ atyajat
rāmaḥ kim pāpam akarot yena evam uparudhyate
rāmaḥ kim pāpam akarot yena evam uparudhyate
20.
In this manner, the highly righteous King Sagara indeed abandoned (his son). What wrongdoing (pāpa) did Rama commit that he is thus being hindered?
श्रुत्वा तु सिद्धार्थवचो राजा श्रान्ततरस्वनः ।
शोकोपहतया वाचा कैकेयीमिदमब्रवीत् ॥२१॥
शोकोपहतया वाचा कैकेयीमिदमब्रवीत् ॥२१॥
21. śrutvā tu siddhārthavaco rājā śrāntatarasvanaḥ ,

śokopahatayā vācā kaikeyīmidamabravīt.
21.
śrutvā tu siddhārthavacaḥ rājā śrāntatarasvanaḥ
śokopahatayā vācā kaikeyīm idam abravīt
śokopahatayā vācā kaikeyīm idam abravīt
21.
tu rājā siddhārthavacaḥ śrutvā śrāntatarasvanaḥ
śokopahatayā vācā idam kaikeyīm abravīt
śokopahatayā vācā idam kaikeyīm abravīt
21.
But, upon hearing Siddhartha's words, the king, with a voice that was both extremely weary and overcome by sorrow, spoke this to Kaikeyi.
अनुव्रजिष्याम्यहमद्य रामं राज्यं परित्यज्य सुखं धनं च ।
सहैव राज्ञा भरतेन च त्वं यथा सुखं भुङ्क्ष्व चिराय राज्यम् ॥२२॥
सहैव राज्ञा भरतेन च त्वं यथा सुखं भुङ्क्ष्व चिराय राज्यम् ॥२२॥
22. anuvrajiṣyāmyahamadya rāmaṃ rājyaṃ parityajya sukhaṃ dhanaṃ ca ,
sahaiva rājñā bharatena ca tvaṃ yathā sukhaṃ bhuṅkṣva cirāya rājyam.
sahaiva rājñā bharatena ca tvaṃ yathā sukhaṃ bhuṅkṣva cirāya rājyam.
22.

22.
aham adya rāmam anuvrajiṣyāmi rājyam

yathā sukham cirāya rājyam bhuṅkṣva
sukham dhanam ca parityajya
tvam ca saha eva rājñā bharatena
yathā sukham cirāya rājyam bhuṅkṣva
22.
I will follow Rāma today, abandoning the kingdom, happiness, and wealth. And you, along with King Bharata, should enjoy the kingdom happily for a long time.
