अक्लिष्टचारित्रात् of blemishless character, शूरात् from the brave, शत्रुनिबर्हणात् who can destroy his enemy, महात्मनः great self, रामात् from Rama, विहीनायाः seperated, मे me, जीवितात् with life, मर्तुम् to die, श्रेयः it is better for me.

Instead of living separated from noble and brave Rama, a blemishless character and a destroyer of enemies, it is better for me to die.
