Manthara descends from above and goes into Kaikeyi's bedchamber; on the right; and wakes her with news of the impending coronation. Kaikeyi is first filled with delight and rising; presents Manthara with a necklace from about her person. Manthara then poisons her mind against Rama who will; she informs the deluded queen; certainly have Bharata killed and herself degraded. Kaikeyi flies into a passion; on the left; and casts herself down on a mat on the ground rather than on her couch; determined to demand Rama's banishment and her son Bharata's installation in his place. She throws her jewels about her while her maidservants attempt to cool her down. In this state she is visited by Dasaratha; who wishes to inform her of Rama's impending coronation.Udaipur; c. 1653.From: Ramayana.Add. 15296 (1); f. 22London; British Library.
