विमुक्तधर्माश्चपलास्तीक्ष्णा भेदकराः स्त्रियः। न सहे हीदृशं वाक्यं वैदेही जनकात्मजे॥ श्रोत्रयोरुभयोर्मध्ये तप्तनाराचसंनिभम्।
vimuktadharmāścapalāstīkṣṇā bhedakarāḥ striyaḥ| na sahe hīdṛśaṃ vākyaṃ vaidehī janakātmaje|| śrotrayorubhayormadhye taptanārācasaṃnibham|
English Meaning
Women by nature are crooked, fickle, devoid of religious knowledge, and bring about difference between father and sons. O Vaidehi, O daughter of Janaka, truly am I incapable of putting up with these words of yours. They have pierced through both of my ears like a heated Nāraca.
— M.N. Dutt (1891–94, public domain)
