Kaikeyi understands the import of Manthara’s words 2.9.1
On hearing Manthara, Kaikeyi’s face glowed with joy. Kaikeyi took her words as indicative of Rama’s exile for the fulfilment of gods’ desire. She also recalled that Rama was incarnate to safeguard the gods’ interests at the request of Brahma and others. Hence, she was cheerful at Manthara’s harsh words. With her pretentious persistence to bring about Bharata’s consecration, Kaikeyi is determined to banish Rama from Ayodhya at once.
