English Meaning
O elder brother of Nikumbha, marvellous are your might and the force of yourself as well as the modesty and prowess that are your and Ravana's. And, o you equal to Prahrada or Vall or the slayer of Vặtra or Varuņa or Kuvera! You alone walk in the wake of you yet mightier father. As mental anguish does not dog one that has controlled his senses, the celestials cannot cope in conflict with you alone, O repressor of foes, O of mighty arms, bearing your dart in your hand. O you of high intelligence, put forth your prowess! and do you also witness my work.
