English Meaning
Thereupon taking him up with his arms he destroyed him with his nails. The person, who is standing at the door, is this supreme Väsudeva, void of passion. I shall now relate to you the words of that supreme God; do you hear, if your heart is filled with spiritual thoughts. The person, who is standing at the door, has brought into subjection, is thousands of years, a thousand of Indras, an Ayuta of Gods and hundreds of great Rşis.” Hearing these words Rāvana said.
