tumha cåhata sukhu mohabasa mohi se adhama ke° råja.178.
ìIt is through infatuation that you expect happiness from the reign of a wretch like
me, who is Kaikey∂ís son, of perverted intellect, hostile to Råma and lost to shame.î (178)

ìI tell you the truth: you should all listen and believe what I say. A virtuous man
alone should be crowned as king. The moment you instal me on the throne perforce the
earth will sink into the lowest depths. Who is such an inveterate sinner as I, on whose
account S∂tå and Råma have been exiled into the forest? The king sent Råma into exile
and himself ascended to heaven the moment the latter left him. My wretched self, which
is the root of all evil, is sitting quietly and hears all talk unmoved. Even though I find the
palace without Råma, I have survived and endured the worldís jeers. Devoid of attraction
for ›r∂ Råma, who is a sacred object of love, my soul is rapacious and hungers for land
(dominion) and enjoyment. I have no words to depict the cruelty of my heart that has
attained notoriety by surpassing even adamant.î (1ó4)

ìAn effect is as a rule harder than its cause and I am not to blame for it. The
thunderbolt* is more formidable and harder than bone (of which it was made) and iron
than rock (from which it is quarried).î (179)
* The story as to how the thunderbolt was made out of the bones of the philanthropic sage Dadh∂ci
(who gave up his life in the interest of the gods) has been told in the account of this sage, which appears in the
footnote below the Caupå∂s following Dohå 29 above.
