English Translation
रावण Ravana, उत्पथम् wrong path, आरूढम् you ascended, त्वाम् you, ये those, सर्वशः by all means, न निगृह्णन्ति do not prevent, तव सचिवाः your ministers, वध्याः खलु deserve to be slayed, न हन्यन्ते they are not slain?
English Commentary
O Ravana the ministers should have prevented you by all means from adopting this wrong path. Since they have not done so, they deserve to be spain.
