English Meaning
And low Leith Sahodara, and prince Akşa has also been slain. O destroyer of foes, my mind did not feel the same confidence in them that I do in you. (According to another reading, the meaning would be:-"O best of warriors, do you, considering your own strength and that of the enemy, so exert yourself that he may no longer inflict terrible losses on our army.” (Tirtha)) And seeing this mighty host slain, as well as the prowess and energy of the monkey, and the taking into consideration your own strength, do you put forth your energy according to your strength.
