Resting the head of the lifeless monarch in her own lap and severely reproaching Kaikeyi, Kausalya grievously mourns for Sri Rama and other exiles. Holding back Kausalya - who was lamenting with her arms placed round her deceased husband&#39;s bosom - and consigning the Emperor&#39;s dead body to a trough filled with oil, the ministers and other functionaries return each to his own abode in the evening.
