English Translation

क्षत्रियर्षभौ two bulls among the kshatriyas, क्षुधार्तम् suffering from hunger, माम् me, दृष्ट्वा after seeing, किं नु why do you, तिष्ठतः both stand here, गतचेतसौ with the senses lost, दैवेन by god, आहारार्थम् for my food, सन्दिष्टौ are sent.

English Commentary

O bulls among the kshatriyas You are sent by destiny as food to appease my hunger. Seeing me hungry, why do you stand there with your senses switched off ?
