Manthara’s Provocation and the Recalling of Two Boons
श्रुत्वैवं वचनं तस्या मन्थरायास्तु कैकेयी।किञ्चिदुत्थाय शयनात्स्वास्तीर्णादिदमब्रवीत्।।।।
śrutvaivaṃ vacanaṃ tasyā mantharāyāstu kaikeyī |
kiñcidutthāya śayanātsvāstīrṇādidamabravīt ||
मन्थरेचे ते वचन ऐकून कैकेयी नीट पसरलेल्या शय्येवरून थोडीशी उठून बसली आणि असे म्हणाली।

Kaikeyi rose after hearing the words of her maid, Manthara.
It implies the bed was 'well-spread' or luxurious, highlighting the comfort Kaikeyi was in before being disturbed by Manthara's scheming.
