महातेजाः mighty one, यः that, महीपतिः lord of the earth, पृथिवीम् the earth, पर्जन्यः इव like Parjanya (Indra), कामैः favours (desires), अभिवर्षति showers, सः he, कामपाशपर्यस्तः he is bound by cords of passion.
English Commentary
Dasaratha, the mighty king like Parjanya (the raingod), lord of the earth used to shower favours on earth. But now he is bound by the noose of passion.
