प्रियेणैव who deserves pleasant things, विदितात्मना by the knower of the self, रामेण by Rama, त्यक्ता separated, पापस्य sinner's, रावणस्य Ravana's, वशम् clutches, गता reached, सा अहम् that I am, प्राणान् life, त्यक्ष्यामि I will give up.

"Separated from the wise Rama who deserves pleasant things I will give up life being under the clutches of the sinful Ravana. इत्यार्षे श्रीमद्रामायणे वाल्मीकीय आदिकाव्ये सुन्दरकाण्डे षडिवंश स्सर्गः। Thus ends the twentysixth sarga of Sundarakanda of the holy Ramayana, the first epic composed by sage Valmiki.
