English Translation

त्वम् you, तस्य his, स्वेन own, तेजसा strength of character, रक्षिताम् will be protected, वैदेहीम् Vaidehi, विवस्वतः Sun's, प्रभामिव like the radiance, प्रसभम् forcibly, हर्तुम् to take, कथम् how, इच्छसि you wish.

English Commentary

Sita is protected by the strength of her character. How do you desire to carry her away forcibly (from Rama) ? Can any one separate the radiance of the Sun from the Sun itself ?
