English Meaning
O Rāghava, death pursues him with whom you are offended and it is for this reason that you are styled by people 'the highly powerful Yama. O foremost o kings, because you are forgiving to all creatures and a kind king that people sing your glories as of a man on earth. The king is the strength of the weak and helpless and he is the eye of the blind and the refuge of those who have no shelter. You are also our king: therefore do you listen to our petition. O king, entering into my nest, this vulture is oppressing me. You only, O foremost of men, are the divine chastiser of mankind.
