एवम् in this way, उक्तः having been told, राजा king, दशरथः Dasaratha, धिक् इत्येव 'shame' only, अब्रवीत् said, सर्वः all, जनः people, व्रीडितः were ashamed, सा च Kaikeyi, तम् that one, नावबुध्यत did not perceive.

Hearing the words of Kaikeyi, Dasaratha could say only 'shame'. All the people felt ashamed, but Kaikeyi could not understand this.
