नृपतिः king, राम इति saying 'Rama', वचनम् word, उक्त्वा having uttered, बाष्पपर्याकुलेक्षणः eyes full of tears, दीनः wretched, ईक्षितुम् to look at, न शशाक was not able, अभिभाषितुम् to speak, न not possible.
English Commentary
Dasaratha uttered the word 'Rama', but thereafter could neither say any more in distress nor look at him becuase his eyes were brimming with tears.
