प्रचण्डप्रतापप्रभावाभिभूत-प्रभूतारिवीर प्रभो रामचन्द्र ।बलं ते कथं वर्ण्यतेऽतीव बाल्येयतोऽखण्डि चण्डीशकोदण्डदण्डम् ॥ १९ ॥

In plain words

Your blazing might overwhelmed enemy warriors beyond counting — Lord, Rāmacandra. How does anyone describe your strength, when you were still a boy? The great staff of a bow that belonged to Śiva snapped in your hands.

Close to the Sanskrit

O hero by whose fierce majesty's power countless enemy warriors were overwhelmed, O Lord, O Rāmacandra — how is your strength to be described, in your very earliest boyhood, since by it the staff-like bow of Śiva, lord of Caṇḍī, was broken?
