निधरक बैठि कहइ कटु बानी। सुनत कठिनता अति अकुलानी॥ जीभ कमान बचन सर नाना। मनहुँ महिप मृदु लच्छ समाना॥ १ ॥

nidharaka baiṭhi kahai kaṭu bānī। sunata kaṭhinatā ati akulānī॥ jībha kamāna bacana sara nānā। mānahuṃ mahipa mṛdu laccha samānā॥ 1 ॥
Meaning
Kaikeyi sat there fearlessly, speaking such bitter words that even harshness itself seemed greatly agitated upon hearing them. The tongue is the bow, the words are many arrows, and the king himself seems like a tender target.
