अन्वयः

अराजके where there is no king, जनपदे in a country, व्यवहारिणः those engaged in lawsuits, सिद्धार्थाः succeed, न not, कथाशीलाः those who are accustomed to storytelling, कथाप्रियैः with those who love to listen to stories, कथाभिः with stories, न अनुरज्यन्ते are not entertained.

M N Dutt

In a kingless country disputants cannot decide their point; nor are persons given to hearing Puranic recitations pleased by those delighting in the practice.

Summary

Where there is no king, those engaged in lawsuits will not succeed and those who are accustomed to storytelling will not entertain those who love to listen to stories.
