English Translation
सारथे O charioteer, विध्वस्ता ruined, सा आयोध्या that Ayodhya, निराकारा formless, निरानन्दा cheerless, दीना desolate, प्रतिहतस्वरा silent, न प्रकाशते does not shine, पश्य see.
English Commentary
O charioteer, look, Ayodhya is in shapeless shambles. It is silent and cheerless. It is dull and desolate. It shines no more. इत्यार्षे श्रीमद्रामायणे वाल्मीकीय आदिकाव्ये अयोध्याकाण्डे त्रयोदशोरशततमस्सर्गः। Thus ends the hundredthirteenth sarga in Ayodhyakanda of the holy Ramayana, the first epic composed by sage Valmiki.
