    • 2.10.32

      莫哭泣,王后啊,也莫以忧苦消瘦其身。谁本不当杀——便杀;谁本当杀——便放。谁贫乏——令其富足;谁富有——令其一无所有。

      国王如此在心中煎熬,恶念的凯凯伊见其惨状,心中满是怨恨。难道婆罗多不是你的儿子吗?还是你花钱把我买来当奴婢带回家的?若我的话听来如箭穿心,你为何不谨慎言语、信守承诺?给我一个答复:你做还是不做?你在罗怙族中以守信闻名。你曾说要赐恩,现在不要赐了。抛弃真理,承受世间的耻辱吧。你赞颂真理,说要赐恩,以为我只会要一把炒粮。无论尸毗、达底支和跋利曾许下什么,他们都舍弃了身体和财富,信守了诺言和誓言。凯凯伊说着极其刻薄的话,仿佛在烧伤处撒盐。
