तथा in that way, दुःखोचिता mind filled with grief, देवी divine lady, दुःखम् grief, आपद्यते not deserve to experience, रावणान्तःपुरे in the inner palace of Ravana, रुद्धा detained, राक्षसीभि by ogresses, स्सुरक्षिता guarded by, एकवेणीधरा wearing a single braid( a mark of desolation),दीना pathetic, त्वयि your,सती wife,चिन्तापरायणा absorbed in your thought, अध: शय्या now lying on bare ground, हिमागमे in winter season, पद्मिनीव like the lotus, विवर्णाङ्गी limbs turned pale, रावणात् by Ravana, विनिवृत्तार्था averse to Ravana, मर्तव्यकृन्तिश्चया determined to die, काकुत्स्थ Rama alone, त्वन्मनाः in her mind, देवी Sita, कथञ्चित् somehow, मार्गिता found.
"Sita, who did not deserve and yet was full of grief was detained by Ravana in his inner palace, guarded by ogresses. She had single braid (a sign of desolation), was pathetic, and totally absorbed in your thought. She was lying on bare ground with her limbs turned pale, like lotus in winter. She was averse to Ravana and was determined to commit suicide. She has only Rama in her mind. Somehow I found her.
