बाष्पपर्याकुलजना filled with people shedding tears, हाहाभूतकुलाङ्गना with the cries of anguish of housewives, शून्यचत्वरवेश्मान्ता infront of their houses and the public squares in between the houses, यथा पुरम् city with its earlier brilliance, न बभ्राज does not shine.

M N Dutt

Like a night without stars, like a fair one forsaken by her husband, the city of Ayodhyā without the magnanimous monarch did not appear delightful as it had done before, with the populace filled with tears, the ladies uttering exclamations of distress, and the terraces and courts deserted.

Summary

With the people of Ayodhya shedding tears, the housewives crying, in anguish, 'alas alas' the courtyards houses and squares of the roads deserted, the city has lost its earlier brilliance.
