English Translation
अयोध्यायाम् in Ayodhya, आक्रन्दितनिरानन्दा rendered cheerless by the lamentations, सास्रकण्ठजनाकुला filled with sobbing people, अवतताः stretched interminably, सा शर्वरी that night, व्यतीयाय passed away.
English Commentary
The night stretched interminably in Ayodhya, which was filled with sobbing people rendered cheerless by their lamentations. Ministers and brahmins speak about the miserable state of a kingdom without king -- urge Vasistha to name the heir apparent for Ayodhya.
