English Translation

राज्येन with kingdom, भ्रत्रा च and brother also, पक्षाभ्याम् my wings, विक्रमेण च and my strength, हीनः devoid, सर्वथा by all means, मर्तुमेव to die, इच्छन् while desiring, गिरेः from the mountain, शिखरात् from the peak, पतिष्ये I shall fall down.

English Commentary

'Bereft of my kingdom, my brother and my wings, and having lost my strength I desire to fall down from the mountain top and die.' इत्यार्षे श्रीमद्रामायणे वल्मीकीय आदिकाव्ये किष्किन्धाकाण्डे एकषष्टितमस्सर्गः।। Thus ends the sixtyfirst sarga in Kishkindakanda of the first epic, the Holy Ramayana composed by sage Valmiki.
