English Translation

भामिनी that beautiful one (Kaikeyi), सुदारुणम् dreadful, एतत् वचनम् this word, उक्त्वा having said, अथ after that, सर्वाभरणानि all ornaments, निधाय having removed, पतिता fallen, किन्नरी इव like a 'kinnar', तदा then, आस्तरणेन by a carpet, असंवृताम् uncovered, मेदिनीम् the earth, अधिशिश्ये lay down.

English Commentary

Saying these ruthless words, that lovely Kaikeyi cast off all her ornaments like a fallen 'kinnara' woman, and lay down on the floor with the carpet removed.
