कृपणम् pitiable, अशक्तम् powerless, दैवम् destiny, किम् नाम what for, अभिशंससि you are extoling, पापयोः of two vicious people, तयोः of both of them, ते to you, शङ्का apprehension, कथं नाम how, न विद्यते does not arise.

English Commentary

Why do you extol this pitiable and powerless destiny? Why don't you doubt those two vicious persons (Dasaratha and Kaikeyi)?
