येन since, इयम् this, बुद्धि: intellect, प्रणीता is advanced, मनश्च mind also, सुसमाहितम् is wellcomposed, तम् him, संक्लेष्टुम् to inflict pain, नार्हामि I do not deserve, प्रव्रजिष्यामि I shall depart, चिरम् delay, मा not.
English Commentary
With wellcomposed mind this decision has been taken. I do not like to inflict pain (on Dasaratha or Kaikeyi). I shall, therefore, depart to the forest without delay.
