अन्वयः
सर्वान् all, तान् of the monkeys, हरिश्रेष्ठान् distinguished among the monkeys, जाम्बवान् Jambavan, पुनः again, अब्रवीत् said, मे my, गमने in leaping, पराक्रमः valour, एतावदेव only that much, न आसीत् खलु was not.
M N Dutt
Jāmbavān said this to those choice monkeys. But (formerly) my prowess in leaping was forsooth not such.* Of old in the sacrifice of Virocana's son, the external Lord Visnu, when he had covered the entire universe with three steps, was circumambulated by me. *i.e. it was greater.
Summary
Jambavan, the distinguished among the monkeys again said, 'My strength to leap into the sky was not only that much (I was stronger in my youth and could cover longer distances)'
