English Translation

अहम् I, स्वेन with my own, रूपेण with form, संवृतः hidden, इह here, तिष्ठामि यदि if I stay, विनाशम् death, उपयास्यामि will befall me, भर्तुः lord, अर्थश्च work also, हीयते will fail.

English Commentary

'I will surely meet with death if I hide here in my original form and my master's mission also will be spoilt.
