Kaikeyi tempted

Kaikeyi became angry.HER face was reddened.How could she stand before Kousalya meekly after behaving arrogantly so long?She requested Mandhara to show her the way out.Then MANDHARA STARTED TELLING HER About the past.THe time relates to the past when there was a fight between Kambarasura and Indra.Dasaratha was fighting with ASuras and became unconscious. Then Kaikeyi took him aside away from the war field and saved his life.Then Dasaratha was happy for her timely action and gave her two boons. At that time Kaikeyi did not ask him anything but told that she would use them when she felt like in the future.Kaikeyi only told about this incident to Mandhara in the past. Mandhara is now advising Kaikeyi to use those boons now.One was to make Bharatha the king and the second was to send Rama togo the woods for fourteen years. If people dont see Rama for fourteen years they would easily forget him.THey would easily follow Bharatha.In the meantime kingdom would be confidently Bahrathas.

She was telling Kaikeyi to go to kopamandiram wearing wornout clothes and start crying . not to lift her head even if the king came.Dasaratha loves her so much that he would be ready to fall in embers or lose his life.HE would try to make her see sense inhis wish and try to pacify her. bUt she should divulge from her task. First she has to take word that he would not waver from jis words of accepting her wishes. Then only she had to disclose her wishes.
