Let couriers to thy father speed
On horses of the swiftest breed,
And, by the mandate of the king,
Thy Bharat to his presence bring.
My father’s words I will not stay
To question, but this very day
To Daṇḍak’s pathless wild will fare,
For twice seven years an exile there.”
In plain words: Rama tells Kaikeyi to send fast riders to her father's home to bring Bharata back. He will not question his father's words and will leave that very day for the Dandaka forest for fourteen years.
