2.21
To her who spoke in this manner, the king spoke once again:
"Ah, hard-hearted woman, why [act thus], abandoning worldly decorum and devoid of compassion?
You were never counted here among virtuous women;
that Rāma never attained the reckoning of having a father;
I too, ignoble woman, never obtained the joys of a son;
and water must never be offered to me by Bharata." (21)
