In plain words
The wealth that petty men gain, men who are not great of heart, is for none but the small-minded, who are great in guile. Holy Ēkampar holds the flood called Gaṅgā in his great matted hair, and he made fire his arrow to throw down the forts in the sky. For his servants, such wealth is no thing to rest on.
Line by line
The wealth gained by petty men who are not great of heart, except for the small-minded great in guile, is not; the one called Gaṅgā flood in his great matted hair, holy Ēkampar; the forts in the sky to throw down, he made the arrow of fire; for his servants it is not a thing to rest on.
