Maithili! Rama wanted to please You and so at the ocean side He waged a great war and killed many rAkshasAs with his arrows.

Another Meaning:

Rama did a great Syena yAgam at the oceanfront. He split the wood chips of palASa tree for the yAgam.

Comments:

The devAs were very unhappy as the rAkshasAs from Lanka gave them a lot of misery. PirATTi wanted to please the devAs by destroying the asurAs. So Rama waged the war to fulfill PirATTi’s wish.

Syena yAgam is called an AbhicAra homam, one that will destroy one’s enemy. One who is married can do it. The poet says that Rama performed such a homam at the sea shore to destroy His enemies, the rAkshasAs.

tvat lipsayaiva dharmeshu Asakta: viprayogivat vyasanI |
kAncana dAna samrddhim bhuvi varadevi prahastam anayat ina: ||

Meaning and Comments:

Rama achieved the objective of splitting the asurA, Prahastan into innumerable pieces by the monkey, Neelan. This act of Rama was like a yogi who has tattva j~nAna and who wanted to reach You performing a yAgam and offering a lot of gold to a brahmaNa. Raama was desirous of uniting with You and was engaged in warfare with RaavaNan and His army. He commanded Neelan to kill the commander in chief of RaavaNA's army, Prahastan. Thus Raaman performed a Yaj~nam as it were in the battle field and destroyed Prahastan, an important warrior on RaavaNan's side to gain You.

Double entendre (slEdai) is extensively used in this Slokam. For instance, dhanu: can mean yAgam and dhanus (bow). There is no explicit inclusion of the word dhanu here but the ikshu (arrow and Yuddham). Sabdam is included as the indicator for dhanus.

dAna Sabdam similary has two meanings: gift and splitting. dAna samruddhim means split to hundred pieces.

The expression “varadeviprahastham” could be split to give double meanings as well:

varadevi + prahastam = varadevi (PirATTI) and the asura Prahastan

varade+ viprahastam = varade (devi) and at the hands of brAhmana.
