The subject of this sentence is omitted; the verb implies the third person singular pronoun. The verb is papune ([he] would get, 3rd person, singular, active, optative). The particle va (just) serves mainly for metrical purposes, but it also modifies the verb.
There are five objects:
1) vedanaj (pain, accusative singular) with its attribute, the adjective pharusaj (harsh, accusative singular).
2) janij (loss [of property], accusative singular).
3) bhedanaj (injury, accusative singular) with its attribute, the noun sarirassa (of body, genitive singular). This object is connected to other ones by the conjunction ca (and).
4) abadhaj (illness, accusative singular) with its attribute, the adjective garukaj (serious, accusative singular). This object is connected to other ones by the conjunctions va (or) and pi (also). They form a common Pali conjunction phrase va pi.
5) cittakkhepaj (mental derangement, accusative singular).
