English Translation
प्रभातायां शर्वर्याम् when the night advanced towards dawn, ते पौराः those citizens, राघवं विना not beholding Rama, हतचेतसः deprived of their senses, शोकोपहतचेतसः crushed with grief, निश्चेष्टाः बभूवुः were stunned.
English Commentary
When the night advanced towards dawn the citizens were stunned not to see the scion of the Raghus (Rama). Overwhelmed with sorrow they lost their senses. Disappointed citizens return to Ayodhya.
