English Translation

यत् दशरथवेश्म Dasaratha's palace, पुरा earlier, मुरजपणवमेघघोषवत् reechoed with the sounds of drums and other musical instruments like rumbling of the cloud, तत् that one, विलपितपरिदेवनाकुलम् filled with wailings and lamentations, व्यसनगतम् trapped in calamity, सुदुःखितम् अभूत् was filled with sorrow.

English Commentary

Dasaratha's palace which reverberated, like the rumblings of the cloud, with the sounds of drums and other musical instruments earlier, now immensely griefsticken and trapped in calamity, is filled with wailings and lamentations. इत्यार्षे श्रीमद्रामायणे वाल्मीकीय आदिकाव्ये अयोध्याकाण्डे एकोनचत्वारिंशस्सर्गः।। Thus ends the thirtyninth sarga of Ayodhyakanda of the holy Ramayana, the first epic composed by sage Valmiki.
