"Once everyone had left, Kaikeyi returned and secretly met with Rama. She acknowledged her wrongdoing and expressed regret, repeatedly asking for forgiveness. Prostrating herself at his feet, she pleaded, "Blinded by ignorance, I have acted foolishly," she said amidst sobs. "But now I have finally understood that you are the Supreme Personality of God.
Truly, your plans are marvelous and can confuse anyone. My Lord, please forgive me and bless me so that I can break free from attachment to family and wealth." Rama smiled and lovingly replied, "It was I, urged by the demigods, who was compelled to act as I did. You need not torment yourself; I never harbored anger towards you.
Few indeed come to know my true nature. I am never swayed by personal desire as a normal person would be; instead, I always respond in proportion to the love and devotion offered to me. Kind lady, return to Ayodhya and live peacefully. Think of me day and night, and thus you will soon be liberated from all material attachments." (Mahabharata)
