English Translation
यत्र where, रामः Rama, भूपतिः king, न not, तत् there, राष्ट्रम् kingdom, न भविता हि is not indeed there, यत्र where, रामः Rama, निवत्स्यति he dwells, तत् वनम् that forest also, राष्ट्रम् kingdom, भविता will become.
English Commentary
That is not a kingdom where Rama does not rule. If Rama lives in the forest, that shall be the kingdom.
