English Translation

त्वम् you, सबलश्च with your army too, संयुगे in an encounter, महात्मनः of the great man, रामस्य Rama's, प्रतिमुखे face to face, स्थातुम् to stand, न शक्तः you are not capable, अहम् I, बुद्ध्या through my intellect, अनुपश्यामि I can foresee.

English Commentary

Instinctively I can foresee that you and your army do not have the capability to encounter that great Rama in a fight.
