Chapter [Sarga] 8


    Book II : Ayodhya Kanda - Book Of Ayodhya

Chapter [Sarga] 8

Introduction

Manthara with her wicked thoughts tries to convince Kaikeyi of the possible misfortune that could occur to Kaikeyi and her family if Sri Rama becomes the King. Although Kaikeyi's initial reaction is to praise Rama's qualities; her mind is slowly but surely poisoned by Manathara's sinful words.
