English Translation

रामेण रहिता without Rama, एषा नगरी this city, ह्रदात् from the deep, गरुडेन by Garuda, उद्धृतपन्नगा the snakes having been lifted away, आपगा इव like a river, नातिशोभते does not look beautiful.

English Commentary

This city without Rama just as a river with serpents lifted away by Garuda from its depths looks no longer beautiful.
