Translation

Hence having destroyed this ego – the enemy of the self, acting as a thorn in the throat of an eating person – with the great sword of realisation, enjoy the bliss of the empire of the Atman as you like, very clearly.

Annotation

1) The word ‘hence’ connects to the earlier verse which says that ego is the main cause for transmigration of the jīva, who in reality is the supreme Self, devoid of transmigration. 2) The sword of realisation – refers to the knowledge arising out of the discrimination (analysis) of the five sheaths (Jagadguru).
