शोभने O beautiful one, अग्नेः for fire, देवी queen, स्वाहा यथा like Swaha, इन्द्रस्य Indra's, शचीव like Sachi, वैदेहि Vaidehi, कृपणेन a pitiable, गतायुषा whose life span is to end soon, रामेण with Rama, किम् what is the use?
English Commentary
O beautiful Sita Just like Swaha, queen to the Firegod and Sachi to Indra, accept Ravana. Why are you still thinking of Rama who is helpless and whose life span is coming to an end soon.
