पुत्र O my son, वन्ध्यायाः for a barren woman, अप्रजाः issueless, अस्मि I am, इति thus, मानसः in mind, एकः one, शोकः affliction, भवति हि surely happens, अन्यः any other, सन्तापः sorrow, न विद्यते हि does not exist.
English Commentary
O my son a barren woman has only one mental agony that she has no progeny. Except that she does not have any other sorrow.
