English Translation

सःरावणः that Ravana, कालचोदितः impelled by death, उच्यमानम् advice tendered, हितम् good, वाक्यम् words, विपरीतः contrary to, औषधम् इव: like the medicine, नप्रतिजग्राह: would not take.

English Commentary

"Impelled by death Ravana would not take good words of advice tendered to him just as one who is impelled by death does not take medicine."
