English Meaning
Of a spacious breast, heroic, you two men possess the exterior of gods. It appears as the Sun and the Moon have come down to the earth of their own accord. Having leonine shoulders, gifted with high energy, stout like to plump bulls and human albeit looking like celestials, why are not your long, round arms, resembling Parighas and deserving all ornaments adorned? Methinks you two are perfectly able to protect this entire earth, filled with forests and oceans, and intersected by the mountains Vindhya and Meru.
