English Translation

पूर्वम् earlier, कृपणा सती reduced to pitiable condition, अदुःखोपचिता not experienced grief, अनाथवत् like an orphan, कृपणं in a wretched manner, वैधव्यम् widowhood, शोकसन्तापम् immersed in grief, वर्तयिष्यामि I will remain.

English Commentary

'I have not experienced poverty or suffering before. Immersed in grief, like an orphan, now I am reduced to the pitiable condition of a widow.
