In Ramayana, Kaikeyi was the queen. She was a woman of character. She loved Rama more than her own son but Manthara told her erroneous things. Kaikeyi contradicted Manthara in the beginning. ‘Yours is a cheap mind. You desire to put my Rama to all difficulties. You have no place here. Get out. Go to Kashmir. You are bringing me a bad name.’ Had this negation continued, Kaikeyi would have been very lucky. But Manthara continued, ‘You are putting your own son into problems. If Rama becomes the king, your son will have to be a servant to Rama. Would any mother wish her son to be a slave?’ Kaikeyi continuously listened and Manthara’s words got deeply rooted in her. She said, ‘Manthara what a good teaching you have given!’

Vinasha kale viparita Buddhi (At the time of perdition one will develop an abnormal mentality). Kaikeyi became a slave to Manthara and she was put to disrepute in the world. No one thinks of these two Women. No one keeps their names. The reason being their bad words (M, p. 78)
