desiring a son.
At this time, being desirous of obtaining a son, a leader of dacoits who came from a śūdra family wanted to worship the goddess Bhadra Kālī by offering her in sacrifice a dull man, who is considered no better than an animal.
Purport
Low-class men such as śūdras worship demigods like Goddess Kālī, or Bhadra Kālī, for the fulfillment of material desires. To this end, they sometimes kill a human being before the deity. They generally choose a person who is not very intelligent — in other words, an animal in the shape of a man.

Translation
At one time, the leader of the thieves, desiring a son, started a sacrifice with a human being as an offering to Bhadra Kālī.
Vṛṣala-patiḥ means a leader of śūdras or thieves. Alābata means that he began to sacrifice.
