English Translation
पुरुषोत्तमौ two excellent men, वालिप्रणिहितौ एतौ have been sent by Vali, अहम् I, शङ्के doubt, राजानः kings, बहुमित्राः they have many friends, अत्र here, विश्वासः trust, न क्षमः not proper
English Commentary
'I support these two excellent men might have been sent by Vali. Kings have many friends and so it may not be appropriate to trust any king.
