भ्रात्रा with brother, पित्रा च with father, हीनः devoid of, शून्याम् empty, इक्ष्वाकुपालिताम् ruled by Ikshvakus, अयोध्याम् Ayodhya, न प्रवेक्ष्यामि I will not enter, तपोवनम् penance grove, प्रवेक्ष्यामि I shall enter.

Devoid of my father and brother, I will not return to empty Ayodhya that was once ruled by the Ikshvakus. I will enter the grove of asceticism .
