Meaning
Seeing the gods praising Sri Ram, Ravana thought, ‘In their reckoning, I have become one among them.’ [Yet they do not know that for them, I alone am more than enough.] He said, ‘O fools, you are always the ones who will be slain by me.’ Saying this, he flew up into the sky in fury [toward the gods].
