Ah! the rebutless, fell and sinful Kaikeyi intent upon impiety, having put by her honour, has resolved upon an exceedingly atrocious deed, she that exiles into the woods such a virtuous son of the monarch, endowed with high wisdom, kind, and having his senses under control.* *The N.W.P. text has an additional line: And of the reprehensible Kaikeyi intent upon cruel deeds.
