छिन्ना वा whether cut, भिन्ना broken into pieces, दीप्ते as if burnt, अग्नौ by fire, प्रदीपिता वा or burnt by others, रावणम् Ravana, नोपतिष्ठेयम् I will not accept, चिरम् for long, विभक्ता: or else share, प्रलापेन by empty words, किम् what is the use.
English Commentary
"Even if I am cut, broken to pieces or burnt in glowing fire, I will not accept Ravana. Why do you shout for so long?
