Translation

पुरुषर्षभ O best of men, (Rama), भर्तुर्भाग्यं the destiny of husband, एका only, भार्या wife, प्राप्नोति receives, अतश्च therefore, अहमपि I also, वने in the forest, वस्तव्यमिति should dwell, अदिष्टा एव ordered.

A wife alone, O best of men shares the destiny of her husband. I am also therefore, ordered to dwell in the forest. ( a command to you is a command to me).
