English Translation
काले when the time, अनागते has not come yet, देहात् from body, जीवितम् life, न च्यवति does not leave, यः अहम् such as I am, सूक्ष्मे fine, वसने clothes, विहाय having removed, तापसाच्छादम् wearing the robes of an ascetic, पावकसङ्काशम् like fire, आत्मजम् son, पुरतः स्थितम् standing before me, पश्यामि I, कैकेय्या by Kaikeyi, क्लिश्यमानस्य while being tormented, मम to me, मृत्युः death, न विद्यते does not come.
English Commentary
Unless the destined hour arrives, life does not leave the body. Therefore, even though I am tormented by Kaikeyi and even after seeing my son, standing before me, (bright) like fire, taking off his fine clothes and wearing the robes of an ascetic my end does not come.
