English Translation

वीर O valiant one, पुत्रक my child, गमने to go to the forest, सुकृताम् firmly resolved, ते बुध्दिम् your mind, विनिवर्तयितुम् to revert, न शक्नोमि I am not able, नूनम् certainly, कालः time, दुरत्ययः difficult to overcome (pass).

English Commentary

I am unable to dissuade you, O my brave son, from your firm resolve to go to the forest. It is surely difficult (for me) to bide time.
