लक्ष्मणपूर्वजः elder brother of Lakshmana, माम् me, इहस्थाम् that I am here, न जानीते he does not know, शङ्के I doubt, जानन्नपि even if he had known, तेजस्वी glorious, धर्षणम् such an outrageous act, मर्षयिष्यति he is tolerating.

English Commentary

"The elder brother of Lakshamana does not know that I am here. Or, I'm afraid, the glorious Rama knows and yet tolerates such an outrageous act.
