सः that, नृपतिः king, तेन by him, यत्र wherever, गन्तव्यम् ought to go, तत्र there, गतः had gone, मर्त्यानाम् mortals', प्रवृत्ति: (destiny) nature, एषा such is, त्वं तु as for you, मिथ्या fruitlessly, विहन्यसे (undergoing difficulties).

English Commentary

That king (Dasaratha) has gone to the place where he ought to go. Such is the nature of mortals. You are fruitlessly undergoing difficulties.
