विरूपाभिः uglylooking, राक्षसीभिः ogresses, मुहुर्मुहुः again and again, तर्ज्यमाना threatened, एकवेणीधरा with a single braid, दीना pathetic, भर्तृचिन्तापरायणा thinking of her husband all the time, अधः now, शय्या lying on floor, हिमागमे in winter season, पद्मिनिव like the lotus, विवर्णाङ्गी devoid of lustre, रावणात् by Ravana, विनिवृत्तार्था turned away, मर्तव्यकृतनिश्चया decided to die, सा that she, मया by me, राक्षसीमध्ये in the midst of ogresses, प्रमदावने in the pleasure garden, दृष्टा saw her.
English Commentary
"I saw Sita often threatened by uglylooking ogresses. Wearing a single braid, she looked pathetic, thinking always about her husband, lying on the bare ground. She was like a lustreless lotus in winter. Spurning the advances by Ravana, she is rather determined to commit suicide.
