English Translation

कैकयीसुतः Kaikeyi's son, ध्याननिर्धरशैलेन by the cavityless rocks of that mountain of contemplation, विनिःश्वसितधातुना by the minerals of heaving sighs, दैन्यपादपसंघेन by the multitude of trees in the form of dejection, शोकायासाधिशृङ्गिणा by the peaks of sorrow fatigue and mental distress, प्रमोहानन्तसत्त्वेन by the countless creatures of stupor, सन्तापौषधिवेणुना by the bamboo tree of sorrow, महता great, दुःखशैलेन by the mountains of grief, आक्रान्तः was invaded.

English Commentary

Bharata, son of Kaikeyi was stricken by a lofty mountain of grief. The cavityless rocks of that mountain were his contemplation, the minerals were his sighs, the multitude of trees were his desolation, peaks were his fatigue and mental distress, the unlimited number of animals were his stupor, the bamboo tree was his sorrow.
