मया by me, धनुः bow, यावत् until, आरोप्यते is strung, बाणः arrow, सृष्टश्च on the release, तव your, रिपुः enemy, निरस्तश्च will be destroyed, हृष्टः happily, विस्रब्धः freely, कथय speak.

'Tell me freely and cheerfully before I string the bow. Your enemy will be destroyed as soon as I release my arrow.'
