कबहुँ न कियहु सवति आरेसू। प्रीति प्रतीति जान सबु देसू॥ कौसल्याँ अब काह बिगारा। तुम्ह जेहि लागि बज्र पुर पारा॥ ४ ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

kabahuṃ na kiyahu savati āresū। prīti pratīti jāna saba deśū॥ kausalyāṃ aba kāha bigārā। tumha jehi lāgi bajra pura pārā॥ 4 ॥

Meaning

You have never felt jealous of a co-wife. The whole land knows your affection and your faithfulness. What harm has Kaushalya done to you now, that you have brought down a thunderbolt upon the whole city?
