कनिष्ठतात: father's younger brother (uncle), किंनाम: What a statement, ते: by you, वाक्यम् words, अनर्थकम् meaningless, सुभीतवच्च: frightened, यः such, अस्मिनकुले: in this race, जातः born, न: not, भवेत् What you said, सोपि: unbecoming, ईदृशम् such words, नैववदेत् will not speak, नकुर्यात् not do.

English Commentary

"What a meaningless statement you made uncle, being frightened? One who is not born in our race also would not have said such unbecoming words uttered by you (nor do such unbecoming acts)?"
