Ayodhyā-kāṇḍa
Chapter 73: Bharata Decides to Bring Rāma Back
Text 2.73.20
उत्पन्ना तु कथं बुद्धिस्तवेयं पापदर्शिनि।
साधुचारित्रविभ्रष्टे पूर्वेषां नो विगर्हिता॥
utpannā tu kathaṁ buddhis taveyaṁ pāpa-darśini
sādhu-cāritra-vibhraṣṭe pūrveṣāṁ no vigarhitā
utpannā tu = did arise; katham = how; buddhiḥ = idea; tava = in you; iyam = this; pāpa-darśini = you are of sinful vision; sādhu-cāritra-vibhraṣṭe = you have deviated from saintly behavior; pūrveṣām = by predecessors; naḥ = our; vigarhitā = condemned.
You are of sinful vision. You have deviated from saintly behavior. How did this idea condemned by our predecessors arise in you?
“This idea” refers to her idea of requesting the kingdom for a younger son of the king when the eldest son of the king is [alive and capable].
