English Translation

कत्थनेन by boasting, तप्तेन heated, सुवर्णप्रतिरूपेण looking like gold, कुशाग्निना इव by the fire of kusa grass, सर्वथैव by all means, ते your, लघुत्वम् meanness, विदर्शितम् is exhibited.

English Commentary

All your meanness is exhibited by your boasting just as the kusa grass caught by fire appears like gold.
