Sanskrit Original
केहि हेतु रानि रिसानि परसत पानि पतिहि नेवारई। मानहुँ सरोष भुअंग भामिनि बिषम भाँति निहारई।। दोउ बासना रसना दसन बर मरम ठाहरु देखई। तुलसी नृपति भवतब्यता बस काम कौतुक लेखई।।
kēhi hētu rāni risāni parasata pāni patihi nēvāraī. mānahu sarōṣa bhuaṃga bhāmini biṣama bhāomti nihāraī.. dōu bāsanā rasanā dasana bara marama ṭhāharu dēkhaī. tulasī nṛpati bhavatabyatā basa kāma kautuka lēkhaī..
As the king touched her with his hand saying "Why are you angry, my queen?" Kaikeyi threw it aside and flashed upon him a furious glance like an enraged serpent with the two (above-mentioned) cravings of her heart for its bifurcated tongue and the boons (that had been promised to her by the king) for its fangs, spying out a vital part. As fate would have it, says Tulasi, the king took it all as an amorous sport.
