Then Chandra nevermore shall see thy face."

At early morn, upon th' appointed day,

The king his faithful servants summoned, and

Before them all his only brother named

To rule the kingdom and confided all

His subjects to his care; then, at the head

Of his brave troops, out of the city marched,

Amidst the royal bards recounting in

Sweet tones the glories of his kingdom's past,

His holy priests invoking Krishna's help
