English Meaning

Rise up! rise up! why did you lie down (on this occasion of) new discomfiture? Today have the rays of the Sun entered fearlessly the city of Lanka. The parigha, by which, brilliant as the rays of the Sun, you did distress the enemies in conflict which was always adored by you like the thunder of the wielder of thunder-bolt, which slew many in battle, and which was adorned with golden nets now Leith shattered into thousand pieces by arrows.
