इति तनयवियोगजातदुःखं क्षितिसदृशं सहजं विहाय धैर्यम् ।
दशरथ इव रामशोकवश्यो बहु विललाप नृपो विसञ्ज्ञकल्पः ॥ ८१ ॥

iti tanayaviyogajātaduḥkhaṃ kṣitisadṛśaṃ sahajaṃ vihāya dhairyam |
daśaratha iva rāmaśokavaśyo bahu vilalāpa nṛpo visañjñakalpaḥ || 81 ||

Thus the king, in his grief for his separation from his son,—losing all his innate firmness which was stedfast like the earth,—loudly lamented as one distraught, like Dasharatha, a prey to his sorrow for Rama.
