English Translation
गौरवात् because of weight, मनुष्यैः by a human, यत्नेनापि even with great effort, असञ्चाल्यम् cannot be moved, तत् that bow, नराधिपाः lords of men, स्वप्नेष्वपि even in their dreams, नमयितुम् to bend, न शक्ताः were not capable.
English Commentary
Because of its weight, no human could move that bow despite great effort nor were the kings capable of bending it even in their dreams.
