English Meaning
I myself, determined compass the destruction of the lord of Räkşasas, who, waxing powerful in consequence of the boon he has received, has brought about the destruction of high-souled saints resembling gods and Dänavas, and who goes round all regions, oppressing people, will, along with Sumitra's son, smiting (the foe), occupy the Northern entiuile., where Rāvana with his army is stationed.
