English Translation
एकतः for an instant, रावणस्य Ravana's, अप्रसह्यम्, तम् them, शरसम्पातम् hail of arrows, दीप्तम् glowing, ज्वलनम् blazing, पतङ्गाःयथा like the moths, सहितुम् to bear, न शेकुः not possible
English Commentary
Just as moths cannot bear the blazing fire, the Vanaras could not bear the glowing hail of Ravana's arrows even for an instant.
