śrutvā puṣyeṇa putrasya yauvarājyā'bhiṣecanam| prāṇāyāmena puruṣaṃ dhyāyamānā janārdanam
Having heard that installation of her son as heirapparent was planned in Pushya constellation, Kausalya was meditating upon the Supreme Person, Lord Visnu by controlling her breath (Pranayama).
— M.N. Dutt (1891)
Kausalya meditates on the Pushya constellation, the chosen time for her son's coronation. Her mind is fixed on the stars, aligning her prayers with the cosmic moment. She does not know that the stars she prays to will witness a different dawn.
