English Translation

उष्णार्दिताम् shedding hot tears, सानुसृतास्रकण्ठीम् with her throat choked with incessant tears, पुरा earlier, वरार्होत्तमनिष्ककण्ठीम् wearing costly ornaments on the neck, सुजातपक्ष्माम् who has beautiful eyelashes, अभिरक्तकण्ठीम् a woman of sweet, loving voice, वने in the forest, अप्रवृत्ताम् wandering, नीलकण्ठीमिव like a peahen.

English Commentary

She whose neck was adorned with costly ornaments earlier must be shedding hot tears now, her throat choked with grief. With her beautiful eyelashes and a sweet loving voice, she would be now like a peahen wandering in the woods.
