English Meaning
That slayer of foes (lay down), making his pillow his arm resembling the shining form of a serpent; always dight with golden ornaments; full many a time pressed with the palms of beauteous damsels,* decked with jewelled golden Keyūras and superb ornaments studded with pearls; smeared from above with sandal and aguru; (his arm) which formerly had been graced in bed with the head of Sītā; like to the body of Takşaka under the waters of the Gangā; resembling a yoke; in battle increasing the sorrow of foes and enhancing for long the delight of friends; his arm having its skin destroyed by the strokes of the bow-string; which was the refuge of the entire earth; his right arm resembling a mighty bludgeon, the donor of thousands of kine, making this great arm his pillow (he laid him down). To-day either I shall die, or shall the Ocean. Having thus formed his resolution in respect of the great deep, Rama, restraining his speech, with a concentrated mind lay down there agreeably to rule. *The commentator appropriately remarks-As Rāma was wedded to a single wife, these damsels must mean nurses attending on him.
