Sanskrit · 2.66.p05162

श्रीमद्वाल्मीकियरामायणे अयोध्याकाण्डे षट्षष्ठितमः सर्गः ॥२-६६॥ तम् अग्निम् इव सम्शान्तम् अम्बु हीनम् इव अर्णवम् । हतप्रभम् इव आदित्यम् स्वर्गथम् प्रेक्ष्य भूमिपम् ॥२-६६-१॥

English · Meaning

In the revered Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa, in the Ayodhyā Kāṇḍa, the sixty-sixth canto. Seeing the king, extinguished like a fire, like an ocean deprived of water, like the sun stripped of its radiance, and [in the transmitted text] described as svargatham, a form whose exact sense is unclear; if it represents svargatam, it means “gone to heaven.”

भर्तारम् तम् परित्यज्य का स्त्री दैवतम् आत्मनः । इच्चेज् जीवितुम् अन्यत्र कैकेय्याः त्यक्त धर्मणः ॥२-६६-५॥

English · Meaning

What woman, abandoning her husband, who is her own deity, would wish to live elsewhere? The final wording is transmitted awkwardly: “of Kaikeyi, who has abandoned dharma”; its exact grammatical connection is uncertain, but it clearly condemns Kaikeyi as having abandoned dharma.
