38 passagesश्रीमद्वाल्मीकियरामायणे अयोध्याकाण्डे चतुःसप्ततितमः सर्गः ॥२-७४॥ ताम् तथा गर्हयित्वा तु मातरम् भरतः तदा । रोषेण महता आविष्टः पुनर् एव अब्रवीद् वचः ॥२-७४-१॥
In the venerable Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa, in the Ayodhyā Kāṇḍa, this is the seventy-fourth sarga. Having thus reproached that mother, Bharata, then possessed by great anger, spoke words again.
राज्यात् भ्रम्शस्व कैकेयि नृशम्से दुष्ट चारिणि । परित्यक्ता च धर्मेण मा मृतम् रुदती भव ॥२-७४-२॥
Fall from the kingdom, Kaikeyī, you who are pitiless and of evil conduct. And, abandoned by righteousness, do not become dead while weeping. The transmitted form मृतम् literally means “dead” and its exact construction here is uncertain.
किम् नु ते अदूषयद् राजा रामः वा भृश धार्मिकः । ययोः मृत्युर् विवासः च त्वत् कृते तुल्यम् आगतौ ॥२-७४-३॥
What wrong did the king—or Rama, exceedingly righteous—do to you? For your sake, the death of the one and the banishment of the other have come alike. The dual form “of whom two” leaves the two persons implicit; in context it refers to the king and Rama.
भ्रूणहत्याम् असि प्राप्ता कुलस्य अस्य विनाशनात् । कैकेयि नरकम् गच्च मा च भर्तुः सलोकताम् ॥२-७४-४॥
You have incurred the killing of an embryo through the destruction of this family. Go to hell, Kaikeyī, and do not attain the same world as your husband.
यत्त्वया हीदृशम् पापम् कृतम् घोरेण कर्मणा । सर्वलोकप्रियम् हित्वा ममाप्यापादितम् भयम् ॥२-७४-५॥
What a sin you have committed through such a terrible deed! By abandoning the one beloved of all people, you have brought fear even upon me.
