English Translation

आकाशे in the sky, रावणाङ्कगम् in the lap of Ravana, सुनसम् with a beautiful nose, तस्याः वक्त्रम् her face, रामं विना without Rama, विनालम् without stalk, पङ्कजम् इव like lotus, न रराज did not shine.

English Commentary

Sita's face with her beautiful nose on Ravana's lap and not on Rama's, shone no more like a lotus without its stalk.
