न लुब्धो बुध्यते दोषान् किंपाकमिव भक्षयन्। कुब्जानिमित्तं कैकेय्या राघवाणां कुलं हतम्॥ अनियोगे नियुक्तेन राज्ञा रामं विवासितम्। सभार्य जनकः श्रुत्वा परितप्स्यत्यहं यथा।७।।
na lubdho budhyate doṣān kiṃpākamiva bhakṣayan| kubjānimittaṃ kaikeyyā rāghavāṇāṃ kulaṃ hatam|| aniyoge niyuktena rājñā rāmaṃ vivāsitam| sabhārya janakaḥ śrutvā paritapsyatyahaṃ yathā|7||
English Meaning
As a covetous person taking poison (through anger or some other passion), does not consider himself guilty, (so Kaikeyī) having done this evil through Manthara's incitement, does not bring her guilt home to her mind. It is through the instrumentality of the humpbacked woman that this race of the Rāghavas has been destroyed by Kaikeyi. Hearing that the king being made to do an unrighteous action, has banished Rāma together with his wife, king Janaka will be filled with grief as I have been.
