English Translation

सहस्रशः a thousand ways, शिलाभिः with stones, पादपैश्च with even trees, प्रहरतः while I pound, मे to me, युद्धे in war, रावणसहस्रम् a thousand Ravanas, प्रतिबलम् match in strength, न भवेत् will not.

English Commentary

Even a thousand Ravanas will not match me in strength when I pound stones and trees in a thousand ways.
