English Translation

सः Dasaratha, युगचक्रान्तरम् between the wheels and the yoke, परिस्पन्दन् restlessly moving, धुर्यः यथा like a beast of burden (bullock), उद्भ्रान्तहृदयः with heart beating wildly, विवर्णवदनः चापि with a pale face too, अभवत् remained.

English Commentary

Like a bullock, restlessly moving between the wheels and the yoke, Dasaratha's heart started beating wildly and his face turned pale.
