उपाधिर्न मया कार्यो वनवासे जुगुप्सितः। युक्तमुक्तं च कैकेय्या पित्रा मे सुकृतं कृतम्॥

upādhirna mayā kāryo vanavāse jugupsitaḥ| yuktamuktaṃ ca kaikeyyā pitrā me sukṛtaṃ kṛtam||

Therefore I ought not to accept any substitute for living in the woods, who can but contribute to my censure. Kaikeyi has spoken what is proper; and my father has acted well.
