English Translation
महाराज O great king, अप्रहृष्टमनुष्या च people cheerless, दीननागतुरङ्गमा spiritless elephants and horses, आर्तस्वरपरिम्लाना with agonised voices and pale faces, विनिश्वसित निस्स्वना with deep sighs, निरानन्दा depressed, रामप्रव्राजनातुरा distressed due to Rama's exile, पुत्रहीना deprived of her son, कौसल्या इव like Kausalya, मा प्रतिभाति appears to me.
English Commentary
O maharaja, Ayodhya is filled with cheerless people with deep sighs, agonised voices and pale faces depressed and distressed due to Rama's exile. (Even) elephants and horses look spiritless. For me it (the city) resembles (dejected) Kausalya deprived of her son.
