When Ráma saw the vulture lie, Huge as a hill, with darksome eye, With many a poignant woe distressed His brother chief he thus addressed: “Amid these haunted shades content Full many a year this bird has spent.

In plain words: Rama looks at the dead vulture Jatayu, huge as a hill, and in deep sorrow speaks to his brother Lakshmana. He says this bird lived happily in this wild forest for many years.
