doḥ-sahasraḿ tvayā dattaḿ
paraḿ bhārāya me 'bhavat
tri-lokyāḿ pratiyoddhāraḿ
na labhe tvad ṛte samam
doh -- the arms; sahasram -- one thousand; tvaya -- by you; dattam -- given; param -- only; bharaya -- a burden; me -- for me; abhavat -- have become; tri-lokyam -- in the three worlds; pratiyoddharam -- an opposing fighter; na labhe -- I do not find; tvat -- you; rite -- except for; samam -- equal.
These one thousand arms you bestowed upon me have become merely a heavy burden. Besides you, I find no one in the three worlds worthy to fight.
According to the acaryas, Banasura's subtle implication here is this: "And so when I have defeated you, Lord Siva, my world conquest will be complete and my desire for battle satisfied."
