English Translation

सः अहम् such as me, इमं भारम् this burden, आसाद्य having taken, महाधुर्यसमुद्धृतम् carried by a great bull fit to be yoked, धुरम् the weight, दम्यः इव like an young bullock requiring training, केन by what, ओजसा strength, वहेयम् I shall bear?

English Commentary

Like a young untrained bullock that cannot carry the weight fit for a great bull, with what strength can I bear this burden?
