अयोध्याकाण्डम्/सर्गः_१२2.12.p02909

Sanskrit · 2.12.p02909

किं नु मेऽयं दिवास्वप्नश्चित्तमोहोऽपि वा मम। अनुभूतोपसर्गो वा मनसो वाप्युपद्रवः॥ २॥

अयोध्याकाण्डम्/सर्गः_१२2.12.p02910

Sanskrit · 2.12.p02910

इति संचिन्त्य तद् राजा नाध्यगच्छत् तदासुखम्। प्रतिलभ्य ततः संज्ञां कैकेयीवाक्यतापितः॥ ३॥

English · Meaning

Having reflected thus, the king did not attain happiness then. The transmitted sequence तद् राजा is grammatically irregular as written; it may preserve or represent “then the king” (tadā rājā), but that is a conditional interpretation, not a correction of the supplied text. Having then regained consciousness, he was tormented by Kaikeyī's words. ॥3॥
