तम् to him, आसाद्य facing in a combat, ते to you, जीवितसंशयः doubtful to be alive, मया with me, विरुध्य picking up, अद्य now, मृत्युः death, ध्रुवः sure, एतत् as such, बुद्ध्या think, यथावत् do as you like, प्रतिगृह्य accept, अत्र here, यत् whatever, पथ्यम् desirable, तत् that, त्वम् you, तथा like that, कुरु do.

Your survival is doubtful after facing Rama in combat. But your death is certain if you oppose me now. Think carefuly and do whatever is desirable for you in the present circumstances. इत्यार्षे श्रीमद्रामायणे वाल्मीकीय आदिकाव्ये अरण्यकाण्डे चत्वारिंशस्सर्गः।। Thus ends the fortieth sarga of Aranyakanda of the holy Ramayana the first epic composed by sage Valmiki.
