यदि प्रव्राजितो रामो लोभकारणकारितम्। वरदाननिमित्तं वा सर्वथा दुष्कृतं कृतम्॥
yadi pravrājito rāmo lobhakāraṇakāritam| varadānanimittaṃ vā sarvathā duṣkṛtaṃ kṛtam||
English Meaning
Whether Rāma has been exiled through Kaikeyi's lust for dominion or through the exigencies of the bestowal of the boon, there cannot be any doubt that the king has acted most unrighteously.
— M.N. Dutt (1891–94, public domain)
