Gita Press, Gorakhpur (Hindi, via ramcharit.in)‘चन्द्रमा के समान मनोहर मुख-कान्ति वाले श्रीराम ! यदि मेरी मृत्यु नहीं होती है तो तुम्हारे बिना यहाँ व्यर्थ कुत्सित जीवन क्यों बिताऊँ ? बेटा ! जैसे गौ दुर्बल होने पर भी अपने बछडे के लोभ से उसके पीछे-पीछे चली जाती है, उसी प्रकार मैं भी तुम्हारे साथ ही वन को चली चलूँगी’

M. N. Dutt (1891–94), via Valmiki Ramayan DatasetKausalya, filled with anger due to extreme sorrow reflected over her misfortune, and burst into harrowing tears, looking at Rama, like a kinnari looking at her grownup son taken captive. इत्यार्षे श्रीमद्रामायणे वाल्मीकीय आदिकाव्ये अयोध्याकाण्डे विंशस्सर्गः।। Thus ends the twentieth sarga of Ayodhyakanda of the the holy Ramayana, the first epic composed by sage Valmiki.

Gita Press, Gorakhpur (Hindi, via ramcharit.in)आने वाले भारी दुःख को सहने में असमर्थ हो महान् संकट का विचार करके सत्य के ध्यान में बँधे हुए अपने पुत्र श्रीरघुनाथजी की ओर देखकर माता कौसल्या उस समय बहुत विलाप करने लगीं, मानो कोई किन्नरी अपने पुत्र को बन्धन में पड़ा हुआ देखकर बिलख रही हो
