Text 1.34.12
अहं हि नियमाद्राम हित्वा तां समुपागतः।
सिद्धाश्रममनुप्राप्य सिद्धोऽस्मि तव तेजसा॥
ahaṁ hi niyamād rāma hitvā tāṁ samupāgataḥ
siddhāśramam anuprāpya siddho ’smi tava tejasā
aham hi = I; niyamāt = out of consideration of the rules and regulations of yoga; rāma = O Rāma; hitvā = left and; tām = her; samupāagataḥ = arrived here; siddhāśramam = Siddhāśrama; anuprāpya = having reached; siddhaḥ = perfect; asmi = I am now; tava = your; tejasā = by prowess.
O Rāma, out of consideration of the rules and regulations of yoga, I left her and arrived at Siddhāśrama. Having reached Siddhāśrama, I am now perfect by Your prowess.
If Kauśikī is so pious and glorious, why did the sage Viśvamitra come to Siddhāśrama? That is explained here.
