महात्मा great self, बलसम्पन्नः rich in prowess, लोकरावणः tyranny to the world, रावणः Ravana, शतक्रुमुखैः a hundred sacrifices, वीरैः hero, न पराजितः not defeated, श्रूयते heard
M N Dutt
I have heard that this high-souled Ravana, gifted with strength and a dread to all people was not defeated (even) by the celestials headed by the performer of hundred sacrifices.
Summary
"Though he is richly endowed with prowess, he is a tyranny to the world, who has performed a hundred sacrifices (like Indra) and never got defeated, I heard."
