lord received them kindly

Jai Sri Ram,
In their ecstasy to joy all the citizens,

Both men and women busied themselves with festive preparations,

At the entrance to the royal palace was flooded with a continuous stream of people going in and coming out,

Delighted at the news a few of sri Rama's companions called on him in a body, and sensible of their affection the lord received them kindly, and politely enquired after their health and welfare,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please   

Evil Design

Jai sri Ram,
Gathering about her every token of resentment, Kaykai lay down on the floor in the sulking Room,

While enjoying sovereignty, she was betrayed by his wicked mind,

There was great flutter in the gynaeceum as well as in the city,

No body had any inkling of this evil design,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please

eventually bear the fruit

Jai sri Ram,
Discord was the seed and Manthara was the rainy season,

While the evil mind of Kaykai served the soil,

Fed by water of wiliness the seed took root

And sprouted with two boons as its leaves and will eventually bear the fruit of adversity,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please

Hare Krishna

Jai sri Ram,
I have no such friends as you in the whole world, She Said,

You have served as a prop to one who was drifting along a stream,

If God fulfils my heart's desire tomorrow,

I will cherish you, My dear, as the apple of my eye. thus laving every term of endearment on her maid servant, Kaykai returned to the sulking room,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please

Manage the whole affair discreetly

Jai sri Ram,
Having thus hatched her cruel design against the queen the wrench said,

Betake yourself to the sulking room,

Manage the whole affair discreetly and not too ready to believe,

Holding the humpback dear as life the queen applauded her uncommon shrewdness again and again,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please

The Scheme will fail if this night is allowed to pass

Jai Sri Ram,
When the king swears by Rama, ask the boons only then,

So that the former may not go back upon his words,

The Scheme will fail if this night is allowed to pass,

Cherish my words as dearer than Life,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please

Bestow sovereignty

Jai Sri Ram,
Maid said, do you or do not remember the incident you once told me My lady,

You have reserve with king a couple of boons that he once promised you,

Ask for them today and soothe your heart,

Bestow sovereignty on your son and an abode in the forest on Rama and rob your co-wives of all their joy,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks Please 

sacrificial beast

Jai sri Ram,
The queen however, like a sacrificial beast who nibbled the green turf,

She did not see the impending calamity,

Agreeable to hear, yet painful in consequences, the words she spoke,

It seemed as if she was administering honey mixed poison,

May Lord bless all,

Thanks please
