English Translation
एते पौराः these citizens, अस्मन्निवर्तने on our return, यथा as, नियमम् resolve, कुर्वन्ति are doing, प्राणानपि even life also, न्यसिष्यन्ति will give up, निश्चयं तु determination, न त्यक्ष्यन्ति will not abandon.
English Commentary
On seeing the people's resolve to take us back, it appears they are prepared to give up their lives rather than abandon their determination.
