सौम्य O gentle, लक्ष्मण Lakshmana, सागराम्बरा with the sea as garment, इयम् this, मही earth, मम to me, दुर्लभा difficult, न not, अधर्मेण unrighteously, शक्रत्वमपि even Indrahood, न इच्छेयं हि I do not desire.
English Commentary
O gentle Lakshmana, lordship of this earth with the sea as its garment is not difficult to obtain (for me). But I do not desire even Indrahood by unrighteous means.
