Even as Sri Rama issued forth from the palace of Queen Kaikeyi, the inmates of the gynaeceum burst into a piteous wail, extolling the princes's virtues.

On being apprised of the circumstances that had brought him there, she falls to the ground overwhelmed with grief, and weeps bitterly expressing her deep sorrow.
