सा त्वमभ्युदये प्राप्ते वर्तमाने च मन्थरे | भविष्यति च कल्याणे किमर्थं परितप्यसे || २-८-१७

saa tvamabhyudaye praapte vartamaane cha manthare | bhavishhyati cha kalyaaNe kimarthaM paritapyase || 2-8-17

Translation

"Oh, Manthara! When we got an occasion for rejoicing as at present and when a festive occasion is to come off in future (too in the form of Bharata's installation, no matter even if it comes after a hundred years), why do you feel agonized like this as though burning (with jealousy)?"
