जगतीपतिः lord of the world (Dasaratha), शोकोपहतचेताश्च consciousness overwhelmed with grief, वृद्धश्च and old also, कामभावावसन्नश्च full of passion, तस्मात् therefore, ते to you, एतत् all this, ब्रवीमि I am telling.

English Commentary

I tell you this because the lord of the earth (Dasaratha), is in deep distress. He is old. And he is under the control of his passion.
