English Translation
पित्रा by father (Dasaratha), यथा as, पोषिताः स्म we were brought up (ruled), सर्वैः all, पितामहैः grandfathers, यथा as, रामे Rama, राजनि सति when he becomes king, ततः सुखतरम् with greater happiness, वत्स्यामः we shall live.
English Commentary
Once Rama assumes kingship, we shall all live in happiness greater than when we were ruled by his father and grandfather.
