अन्वयः
जघनम् the hips, गतया by touching, एकया by only one, नीलनागाभया which looked like a black serpent, वेण्या with a braid of hair, नीरदापाये at the close of rainy season, नीलया with a dark one, वनराज्या by a range of forest, महीमिव like the earth, सुखार्हाम् who deserves to be happy, दुःखसन्तप्ताम् burning in grief, व्यसनानाम् of worries, अकोविदाम् who had not experienced.
M N Dutt
Her braid of long hair resembling a black serpent falling on her back it appeared as if the Earth was filled with dark-blue forests on the disappearance of the rains.
Summary

She who deserved to be happy and had not experienced worries was burning in grief. (एकवेणी is a trait of a प्रोषितभर्तृका Sita who was forced to stay in Lanka was a प्रोषितभर्तृका नायिका.)
