Text 2.92.27
इत्युक्त्वा नरशार्दूलो बाष्पगद्गदया गिरा।
स निशश्वास ताम्राक्षो नागः क्रुद्ध इव श्वसन्॥
ity uktvā nara-śārdūlo bāṣpa-gadgadayā girā
sa niśasvāsa tāmrākṣo nāgaḥ kruddha iva śvasan
iti uktvā = having spoken this; nara-śārdūlaḥ = prince; bāṣpa-gadgadayā = that choked due to His tears; girā = with a voice; saḥ niśasvāsa = sighed; tāmrākṣaḥ = the red-eyed; nāgaḥ = snake; kruddhaḥ = an angry; iva = like; śvasan = hissed.
Having spoken this with a voice that choked due to His tears, the red-eyed prince sighed and hissed like an angry snake.
Bāṣpa-gadgadayā girā indicates that Bharata’s voice faltered while He cried upon remembering Rāma’s exile.
