शुष्यमाणेन with parched throat, मया by myself, इमाः these, शून्याः desolate, वाचः words, भाषिताः spoken, रावणः Ravana, काञ्चित् स्त्रीं any woman, मूर्ध्ना head bowed down, न प्रणमेत हि will not pay obeisance.

My throat has dried up. I have spoken these words in a forlorn state. Ravana has never bowed down to a woman in obeisance.
