लक्ष्मण Lakshmana, कालस्य of the time, सर्वभूतेषु over all creatures, अतिभारः great weight, नास्ति not there, शूराश्च brave people, बलवन्तश्च or strong men, रणाजिरे कृतास्त्राश्च those who know the use of arms in the war, कालाभिपन्नाः by the force of time, वालुकसेतवः यथा like barriers built with sand, सीदतन्ति make way.

O Lakshmana look at the power of time over all creatures There is nothing too heavy for time. Even those who know the use of arms in war, or are brave or strong enough, cannot withstand the force of time like the barriers built with sand.
