2.43.1
ततः समीक्ष्य शयने सन्नं शोकेन पार्थिवम्।
कौसल्या पुत्रशोकार्ता तमुवाच महीपतिम् ॥ २.४३.१ ॥
Then, seeing the king lying prostrate on his bed, sunk in grief, Kausalyā, tormented by sorrow for her son, spoke to the lord of the earth.
2.43.2
राघवे नरशार्दूले विषं मुक्त्वाहिजिह्मगा।
विचरिष्यति कैकेयी निर्मुक्तेव हि पन्नगी ॥ २.४३.२ ॥
O tiger among men, having spewed its poison upon Rāghava, crooked Kaikeyī will roam about like a serpent that has cast off its skin.
2.43.3
विवास्य रामं सुभगा लब्धकामा समाहिता।
त्रासयिष्यति मां भूयो दुष्टाहिरिव वेश्मनि ॥ २.४३.३ ॥
Having banished Rāma, that fortunate and resolute Kaikeyī, who has obtained her desire, will again terrify me, like a wicked serpent in the house.
2.43.4
अथास्मिन् नगरे रामश्चरन् भैक्षं गृहे वसेत्।
कामकारो वरं दातुमपि दासं ममात्मजम् ॥ २.४३.४ ॥
And in this city Rāma would wander begging for alms and dwell in some house; that woman who acts as she pleases might even grant a boon and make my own son a servant.
2.43.5
पातयित्वा तु कैकेय्या रामं स्थानाद् यथेष्टतः।
प्रविद्धो रक्षसां भागः पर्वणीवाहिताग्निना ॥ २.४३.५ ॥
Indeed, Kaikeyī has brought Rāma down from his place and cast him out at her own pleasure, like the portion for the demons thrown away on a festival day by one who has kindled the sacred fire.
2.43.6
नागराजगतिर्वीरो महाबाहुर्धनुर्धरः।
वनमाविशते नूनं सभार्यः सहलक्ष्मणः ॥ २.४३.६ ॥
That hero, who moves with the gait of a king of elephants, great-armed and bow-bearing, will surely enter the forest together with his wife and Lakṣmaṇa.
2.43.7
वने त्वदृष्टदुःखानां कैकेय्यनुमते त्वया।
त्यक्तानां वनवासाय कान्यावस्था भविष्यति ॥ २.४३.७ ॥
With Kaikeyī's consent, you have abandoned them to forest exile. What will become of those who have never known sorrow?
2.43.8
ते रत्नहीनास्तरुणाः फलकाले विवासिताः।
कथं वत्स्यन्ति कृपणाः फलमूलैः कृताशनाः ॥ २.४३.८ ॥
Those young men, bereft of jewels, were sent into exile at the season of fruit. How will they, pitiful, live on fruits and roots?
2.43.9
अपीदानीं स कालः स्यान्मम शोकक्षयः शिवः।
सहभार्यं सह भ्रात्रा पश्येयमिह राघवम् ॥ २.४३.९ ॥
Perhaps that auspicious time will now come, the end of my sorrow, when I shall see Rāghava here together with his wife and brother.

भविष्यति पुरी हृष्टा समुद्र इव पर्वणि ॥ २.४३.११ ॥
When, having seen the two tigers among men returned again from the forest, will the city be joyful like the ocean at the full moon?
2.43.12
कदायोध्यां महाबाहुः पुरीं वीरः प्रवेक्ष्यति।
पुरस्कृत्य रथे सीतां वृषभो गोवधूमिव ॥ २.४३.१२ ॥
When will the mighty-armed hero enter the city of Ayodhyā, with Sītā placed before him in the chariot, as a bull goes with a cow before him?
2.43.13
कदा प्राणिसहस्राणि राजमार्गे ममात्मजौ।
लाजैरवकरिष्यन्ति प्रविशन्तावरिंदमौ ॥ २.४३.१३ ॥
When will thousands of living beings scatter parched grain upon my two sons on the royal road, as they enter, the two subduers of enemies?

प्रविशन्तौ कदायोध्यां द्रक्ष्यामि शुभकुण्डलौ।
उदग्रायुधनिस्त्रिंशौ सशृङ्गाविव पर्वतौ ॥ २.४३.१४ ॥
When shall I see the two of them, wearing auspicious earrings, entering Ayodhyā, raising weapons and swords, like two mountains with peaks?
2.43.15
कदा सुमनसः कन्या द्विजातीनां फलानि च।
प्रदिशन्त्यः पुरीं हृष्टाः करिष्यन्ति प्रदक्षिणम् ॥ २.४३.१५ ॥
When will the flower-bearing maidens, joyfully offering fruits to the twice-born, circumambulate the city?
2.43.16

अभ्युपैष्यति धर्मात्मा सुवर्ष इव लालयन् ॥ २.४३.१६ ॥
When will that righteous-souled one, mature in wisdom and age, with the lustre of the gods, cherishing his subjects like a rain-giving cloud, approach (the throne)?
2.43.17
निःसंशयं मया मन्ये पुरा वीर कदर्यया।
पातुकामेषु वत्सेषु मातॄणां शातिताः स्तनाः ॥ २.४३.१७ ॥
O hero, I think, without doubt, that formerly some miserly woman cut off the teats of the mothers while the calves were wanting to drink.
2.43.18
साहं गौरिव सिंहेन विवत्सा वत्सला कृता।
कैकेय्या पुरुषव्याघ्र बालवत्सेव गौर्बलात् ॥ २.४३.१८ ॥
O best of men, like a cow forcibly separated from her calf by a lion, I, loving as I am, have been made calfless by Kaikeyī, as if a cow with its young calf had been forcibly seized.
2.43.19
नहि तावद्गुणैर्जुष्टं सर्वशास्त्रविशारदम्।
एकपुत्रा विना पुत्रमहं जीवितुमुत्सहे ॥ २.४३.१९ ॥
Without a son endowed with virtues and skilled in all the scriptures, I, who have only one son, do not dare to live.
2.43.20
न हि मे जीविते किंचित् सामर्थ्यमिह कल्प्यते।
अपश्यन्त्याः प्रियं पुत्रं लक्ष्मणं च महाबलम् ॥ २.४३.२० ॥
Not seeing my beloved son and the mighty Lakṣmaṇa, I shall have no strength left in my life.
2.43.21
अयं हि मां दीपयतेऽद्य वह्नि-
स्तनूजशोकप्रभवो महाहितः।
महीमिमां रश्मिभिरुत्तमप्रभो
यथा निदाघे भगवान् दिवाकरः ॥ २.४३.२१ ॥
Today this great and harmful fire, born of grief for my son, burns me, as in summer the blessed sun of supreme radiance scorches this earth with his rays.
