नृपस्य king's, गुरौ preceptor, अप्रतिमप्रभावे possessing incomparable power, विप्रमुख्ये foremost of brahmins, तस्मिन् that Vasistha, तथा in that way, जल्पति speaking, सीता Sita, प्रियस्य beloved, भर्तुः husband, प्रतिकारकामा to serve him, विनिवृत्तभावा to swerve from her resolve, नैव स्म did not agree.
English Commentary
(Though) Vasistha, endowed with matchless power, the preceptor of the king and foremost among the brahmins thus expressed himself, Sita was not willing to swerve from her resolve in order to serve her beloved husband. इत्यार्षे श्रीमद्रामायणे वाल्मीकीय आदिकाव्ये अयोध्याकाण्डे सप्तत्रिंशस्सर्गः।। Thus ends the thirtyseventh sarga of Ayodhyakanda of the holy Ramayana, the first epic composed by sage Valmiki.
