विदीर्यमाणा हर्षेण धात्री तु परया मुदा। आचचक्षेऽथ कुब्जायै भूयसीं राघव श्रियम्

vidīryamāṇā harṣeṇa dhātrī tu parayā mudā| ācacakṣe'tha kubjāyai bhūyasīṃ rāghava śriyam

Translation (English)

Bursting with great joy, the royal maid related to the hunchback the great fortune awaiting the son of the Raghus (Rama).

M.N. Dutt (1891)

Commentary

The maid, bursting with joy, tells Manthara the news: Rama will be crowned. She speaks of it as great fortune — unaware that she is speaking to the person who will destroy it. The messenger's joy is the tragedy's first victim.
