नित्यम् always, पुत्रवत् like a son, परिरक्षिते protected, मामके my, अस्मिन् वने in this forest, तेऽपि they also, पत्राङ्कुरविनाशाय for destroying shoots, फलमूलाभवाय च and for the loss of fruits and roots etc, तिष्ठन्ति यदि if they stay back, तानपि them also, ध्रुवम् certainly, शपिष्ये I will curse.
