In which weeping Kausalyā pictures Sītā suffering forest hardships and warns Rāma will scorn Bharata-enjoyed kingdom as Daśaratha faints
Weeping Kausalyā asks how exiles bear forest — Kausalyā asks how Sītā bears heat cold wild food — Kausalyā asks how Sītā bears beast cries — Kausalyā asks when she sees Rāma face — Kausalyā says Rāma will scorn enjoyed kingdom — Used oblation drained wine kingdom holds nothing — Insulted lion Rāma will not endure insult — Kausalyā says husband son kin her only refuges — Kausalyā calls kingdom self citizens ruined — Daśaratha faints remembering misdeed
