अन्वयः

राम O Rama, पतिपौरुषे when my husband was exercising authority, कल्याणम् auspicious moment, सुखं वा or pleasure, न दृष्टपूर्वम् was not seen earlier, पुत्रेऽपि in son, पश्येयम् can I see, इति thus, मया by me, आस्थितम् life is sustained.

M N Dutt

I have not experienced in my life that blessing and pleasure which women generally feel when their husbands are devoted to them. I have sustained my life so long, O Rāma, only with the hope that I shall witness this and other happiness when I shall have a son.

Summary

I did not have the fortune, O Rama, to enjoy any auspicious moment or pleasure earlier when my husband was in authority. I exist with the hope that I will have it when my son assumes authority.
