Question 1

AYODHYĀ KĀṆḌAM
07.13 Anuṣṭubh (Śloka)
पदाम्बुजे

Answer 1

THE MEANING IS THIS:
SITA SAYS TO SUMANTRA:
‘(Please) convey to my father-in-law my prostrate full (6-limbed) prostration at the lotus of his feet’
IN OTHER WORDS, PLEASE CONVEY MY RESPECTS TO HIM
\

पदाम्बुजे I THINK THIS IS LOC SG M. - TO BE TAKEN WITH साष्टाङ्गं प्रणिपातं मे
EARLIER IN THE LINE: ‘my 6-limbed prostration at the foot-lotus of my parents-in-law’
OTHERWISE I HAVE NO IDEA. THE transl. OFFERS SIMPLY ‘my full prostrations’
