23 passagesश्रीमद्वाल्मीकियरामायणे अयोध्याकाण्डे त्रिचत्वारिशः सर्गः ॥२-४३॥ ततः समीक्ष्य शयने सन्नं शोकेन पार्थिवम्। कौसल्या पुत्रशोकार्ता तमुवाच महीपतिम्॥ १॥
In the venerable Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa, in the Ayodhyā Kāṇḍa, the forty-third canto. ॥2.43॥ Then, seeing the king lying sunk on his bed through grief, Kausalyā, distressed by grief for her son, addressed that lord of the earth: ॥1॥
राघवे नरशार्दूले विषं मुक्त्वाहिजिह्मगा। विचरिष्यति कैकेयी निर्मुक्तेव हि पन्नगी॥ २॥
When Rāghava, the tiger among men, is gone, Kaikeyī will roam about after casting off her poison, like a she-serpent indeed freed from its crooked movement—rather, like a female serpent set loose; the compound is difficult, but the comparison is clearly to a freed serpent.
विवास्य रामं सुभगा लब्धकामा समाहिता। त्रासयिष्यति मां भूयो दुष्टाहिरिव वेश्मनि॥ ३॥
Having exiled Rāma, fortunate in having obtained her desire and self-possessed, she will terrify me again, like a wicked snake in the house. ॥3॥
अथास्मिन् नगरे रामश्चरन् भैक्षं गृहे वसेत्। कामकारो वरं दातुमपि दासं ममात्मजम्॥ ४॥
Then, in this city, Rama, wandering for alms, would dwell in a house. Would one, acting according to his desire, even have the freedom to give my son—my own child—as a servant?
पातयित्वा तु कैकेय्या रामं स्थानाद् यथेष्टतः। प्रविद्धो रक्षसां भागः पर्वणीवाहिताग्निना॥ ५॥
But after Kaikeyī has caused Rāma to fall from his place as she pleased, he will be like the portion of the Rākṣasas cast away by a fire carried at a festival rite; the simile is somewhat compressed and may also suggest an oblation-share driven off by ritual fire.
