English Meaning
Her beauty was greatly faded (in consequence of her husband's separation) like to a stringed instrument for want of a player. And ever engaged in her husband's welfare she was thoroughly unworthy of being brought under the control of the Rākşasas. Being sunk in the abyss of grief and encircled by those Rākşasīs she appeared in the forest of Asoka like to Rohiņi possessed by Rāhu.
