Manthara hearing that Bharata had come, came decked in all her finery. Seeing her come, a guard came running and told Shatrughna that this was the woman who had caused all misery.
Shatrughna could not control himself. He decided that he would put an end to her.
Catching Manthara by her hair, she started dragging her on the floor. Bruised all over, Manthara started shouting, calling out to Kaikeyi for help.
Manthara had garlands decorating her hunchback. With all this dragging, the garland tore to pieces. Shatrughna said you are the cause of the death of my father and my brother going to forests.
Kaikeyi saw this. Thinking that Shatrughna will attack her next, after he had finished with Manthara, Kaikeyi fled from there. Seeing her run Shatrughna said to her : You are a very unfortunate wife. You were the most beloved of our father and what every you said, our father did. Killing you will send me to hell. You danced at the words of a maid and did not use your own reasoning.
Shatrughna hit Manthara hard and she started bleeding. With a kick, he broke an ankle of hers. Profusely bleeding, Manthara fainted. Bharata fearing that Shatrughna would get the sin of killing a woman, intervened.
He asked Shatrughna to stop. He said if Rama hears this, he would he hurt and would definitely forsake them. That was the reason why he had left his own mother alive.
Shatrughna then dragged the bleeding Manthara and kept her in Kaikeyi's room.
