हरामि वीर्याद् दुःखं ते तमः सूर्य इवोदितः। देवी पश्यतु मे वीर्यं राघवश्चैव पश्यतु॥ हनिष्ये पितरं वृद्धं कैकेय्यासक्तमानसम्। कृपणं च स्थितं बाल्ये वृद्धभावेन गर्हितम्॥
harāmi vīryād duḥkhaṃ te tamaḥ sūrya ivoditaḥ| devī paśyatu me vīryaṃ rāghavaścaiva paśyatu|| haniṣye pitaraṃ vṛddhaṃ kaikeyyāsaktamānasam| kṛpaṇaṃ ca sthitaṃ bālye vṛddhabhāvena garhitam||
English Meaning
Like to the sun dispelling darkness, shall I remove your sorrow by dint of my power; may your worshipful self and Rāghava witness it. Readily shall I despatch my father, whose heart is unduly attached to Kaikeyſ and who is therefore vile and being old contemptibly playing the child.
— M.N. Dutt (1891–94, public domain)
