50 passagesश्रुत्वा तु राजा कैकेय्या वाक्यं परमशोभनम्। रामस्य च वने वासमैश्वर्यं भरतस्य च॥ ५१॥
But the king, having heard Kaikeyī’s exceedingly pleasing words—Rāma’s dwelling in the forest, and Bharata’s sovereignty...
नाभ्यभाषत कैकेयीं मुहूर्तं व्याकुलेन्द्रियः। प्रैक्षतानिमिषो देवीं प्रियामप्रियवादिनीम्॥ ५२॥
For a moment the king, his senses agitated, did not address Kaikeyi; he gazed without blinking at the queen, his beloved, who was speaking what was unwelcome.
तां हि वज्रसमां वाचमाकर्ण्य हृदयाप्रियाम्। दुःखशोकमयीं श्रुत्वा राजा न सुखितोऽभवत्॥ ५३॥
Hearing that speech, like a thunderbolt and unpleasant to the heart, and hearing it as filled with suffering and grief, the king did not become happy.
स देव्या व्यवसायं च घोरं च शपथं कृतम्। ध्यात्वा रामेति निःश्वस्य च्छिन्नस्तरुरिवापतत्॥ ५४॥
Having contemplated the queen's resolve and the terrible oath she had made, and having sighed while thinking, “Rama!”, he fell like a tree that has been cut down.
नष्टचित्तो यथोन्मत्तो विपरीतो यथातुरः। हृततेजा यथा सर्पो बभूव जगतीपतिः॥ ५५॥
The lord of the earth became as one whose mind was destroyed, as one who was mad, deranged as one who was sick, and deprived of vigor like a serpent.
