शत्रुः पतिप्रवादेन मात्रेव हितकाम्यया। आशीविष इवाङ्गेन बाले परिधृतस्त्वया॥ यथा हि कुर्याच्छत्रुर्वा सर्पो वा प्रत्युपेक्षितः। राज्ञा दशरथेनाद्य सपुत्रा त्वं तथा कृता ॥
śatruḥ patipravādena mātreva hitakāmyayā| āśīviṣa ivāṅgena bāle paridhṛtastvayā|| yathā hi kuryācchatrurvā sarpo vā pratyupekṣitaḥ| rājñā daśarathenādya saputrā tvaṃ tathā kṛtā ||
English Meaning
You O girl, in consideration of your welfare, have like to a mother taken to your lap a venomous snake in the form of your husband, Even what is done by an enemy or a serpent left alone, is being done by Dasaratha of wicked ways and false soothing speech, to you and your own son.
— M.N. Dutt (1891–94, public domain)
