English Translation

करेणूनाम् of female elephants, ऋषभः lord, bull elephant, प्रस्रवणात् इव like from Prasravana mountain, विनिश्वसन् heaving sighs, पांसुकुण्ठितः crusted with dust, कृपणः unfortunate Rama, मेदिन्याः from the ground, उत्थास्यति च will rise up.

English Commentary

That unfortunate Rama, having been covered with dust, will get up from the ground sighing like a bull elephant rising from mount Prasravana.
