[अकीर्तिम् (akīrtim) - infamy; च (ca) - and; अपि (api) - also; भूतानि (bhūtāni) - beings; कथयिष्यन्ति (kathayiṣyanti) - will speak; ते (te) - your; अव्ययाम् (avyayām) - eternal; सम्भावितस्य (sambhāvitasya) - for the honored; च (ca) - and; अकीर्तिः (akīrtiḥ) - infamy; मरणात् (maraṇāt) - than death; अतिरिच्यते (atiricyate) - is considered greater;]
(People will speak of your eternal infamy, and for a person who has been honored, infamy is worse than death.)
Besides, people will recount your ever lasting ill fame and for the highly esteemed, disrepute is worse than death.
