धात्र्यास्तु वचनं शृत्वा कुब्जा क्षिप्रममर्षिता। कैलासशिखराकारा त्प्रासादादवरोहत

dhātryāstu vacanaṃ śṛtvā kubjā kṣipramamarṣitā| kailāsaśikharākārā tprāsādādavarohata

Translation (English)

Having heard these words of the royal maid, the hunchback became furious and speedily descended from that palace resembling the peak of mount Kailasa.

— M.N. Dutt (1891)

Commentary

Manthara hears the news and is consumed by fury. She descends from the palace like a force of nature — speedily, irresistibly. The hunchback's descent from the palace is the turning point of Ayodhya Kanda. Everything that follows flows from this moment.
