English Translation
अथ thereafter, पौरेषु citizens, गतेषु सत्सु had departed, निश्चयज्ञः knows how to take decisions, प्रभुः Lord, नृपः king, मन्त्रिभि: सह together with counsellors, भूयः again, मन्त्रयित्वा having consulted, श्वः एव tomorrow itself, पुष्यः Pushya star, भविता is in the ascendance, राजीवताम्राक्षः a man whose eyes resemble red lotus (petals), मे सुतः my son, रामः Rama, श्वः tomorrow, यौवराज्ये as heirapparent, अभिषेच्यः should be installed, इति thus, निश्चयम् decision, चक्रे made.
English Commentary
After the citizens departed, the king, an expert in decisionmaking again consulted his counsellors and said, Tomorrow Pushya star is in the ascendence and my son, Rama (handsome) with coppercoloured eyes which resemble red lotus petals will be installed heirapparent. Dasaratha sends Sumantra to bring Rama again-- briefs him on certain matters and sends him -- Rama visits Kausalya and informs her about the coronation and seeks her blessings.
