English Translation

सुयुक्तवादिना by one who was speaking befittingly, सूतेना by Sumantra, तथा like that, निवार्यमाणापि though prevented, देवी queen Kausalya, सुतशोककर्शिता enfeebled with weeping over her son, प्रियेति 'O My beloved', पुत्रेति 'O my son', राघवेति च 'O Rama', कूजितात् from crying, नचैव विरराम did not stop.

English Commentary

Though Sumantra was speaking with befitting words to prevent Kausalya from weeping over her son which had enfeebled her, she did not stop crying, 'O my beloved', 'O my son', 'O Rama'. इत्यार्षे श्रीमद्रामायणे वाल्मीकीय आदिकाव्ये अयोध्याकाण्डे षष्टितमस्सर्गः।। Thus ends the sixtieth sarga in Ayodhyakanda of the holy Ramayana, the first epic composed by sage Valmiki.
