27,28.Bharata   told   Kaikeyi   that   Kamadenu   with   thousands   of   sons   was   grieving   over   two   of them,   how   can   we   expect   Kausalya,   separated   from   Rama,   to   live.

29.Bharata   told   Kaikeyi   that   because   of   her   Kausalya   is   separated   from   Rama   and   hence she   will   undergo   difficulties   in   this   life   and   after   death   also.
