English Translation
तत्र there, सर्वाः all, एनां मैथिलीम् this Sita, घोरैः terrrific, तर्जनैः threatening, पुनः again, सान्त्वश्च by gently coaxing, वन्याम् wild, गजवधूमिव like a female elephant, वशम् under control, आनयध्वम् being her.
English Commentary
There you all bring her under control through forcing and cajoling as one would do to tame a wild sheelephant.
