धर्मम् righteousness, पुरस्कृत्य adopting, दर्पम् pride, विधूय casting aside, रघुनन्दनस्य Rama's, प्रसादनार्थम् to propitiate, नीतिमता by a moralist, भरतेन by Bharata, प्रणीता having been brought, सा that, सेना army, चित्रकूटे on Chitrakuta, विराजते was shining.

The army brought by Bharata, the great moralist, was shining around Chitrakuta mountain following dharma, and casting off all pride, in order to please Rama. इत्यार्षे श्रीमद्रामायणे वाल्मीकीय आदिकाव्ये अयोध्याकाण्डे सप्तनवतितमस्सर्गः।। Thus ends the ninetyseventh sarga in Ayodhyakanda of the holy Ramayana, the first epic composed by sage Valmiki.
