Chapter 13: Kaikeyī Rejects Daśaratha’s Sorrowful Plea
Text 2.13.21
साधु वृत्तस्य दीनस्य त्वद्गतस्य गतायुषः।
प्रसादः क्रियतां देवि भद्रे राज्ञो विशेषतः॥
sādhu-vṛttasya dīnasya tvad-gatasya gatāyuṣaḥ
prasādaḥ kriyatāṁ devi bhadre rājño viśeṣataḥ
sādhu-vṛttasya = whose behavior is nonduplicitous; dīnasya = upon this wretched person; tvat-gatasya = who is fixed in you; gata-āyuṣaḥ = whose life is over; prasādaḥ = mercy; kriyatām = have; devi = queen; bhadre = O auspicious; rājñaḥ = a king; viśeṣataḥ = and who is specifically.
O auspicious queen, have mercy upon this wretched person whose behavior is nonduplicitous, who is fixed in you, whose life is over and who is specifically a king.
Daśaratha was fixed in Kaikeyī, that is, he had accepted her as his only shelter. His life was almost over.
