अस अभिलाषु नगर सब काहू। कैकयसुता हृदयँ अति दाहू॥ को न कुसंगति पाइ नसाई। रहइ न नीच मतें चतुराई॥ ४ ॥

asa abhilāṣu nagara saba kāhū। kaikayasutā hṛdayaṃ ati dāhū॥ ko na kusaṃgati pāi nasāī। rahai na nīca mateṃ caturāī॥ 4 ॥

Meaning

This is the desire of everyone in the city. But Kaikeyi's heart burns with intense jealousy. Who does not perish by falling into bad company? When one follows the counsel of the low-minded, cleverness does not remain.
