English Translation

कालहतः doomed by time, कुबेरस्य Kubera's, गिरिम् mountain, वा or else, आलयम् residence, गतः going, राज्ञः king, वरुणस्य Varuna's, सभाम् assembly, गतो वा or will go, महाद्रुमः mighty tree, अशनेरिव by lightning, दाशरथेः by Rama son of Dasaratha, न मोक्ष्यसे you do not escape.

English Commentary

"Even if you fly to Kubera's mountain (Kailasa) or the residence of king Varuna (ocean) you will not escape Rama's arrows like a mighty tree cannot evade lightning. इत्यार्षे श्रीमद्रामायणे वाल्मीकीय आदिकाव्ये सुन्दरकाण्डे एकविंशस्सर्गः। Thus ends the twentyfirst sarga of Sundarakanda of the holy Ramayana, the first epic composed by sage Valmiki.
