And heroes kept her, strong and brave,
As lions guard their mountain cave:
Fierce as devouring flame they burned,
And fought till death, but never turned.
Horses had she of noblest breed,
Like Indra's for their form and speed,
From Váhlí's[72] hills and Sindhu's[73] sand,
Vanáyu[74] and Kámboja's land.[75]
Her noble elephants had strayed
Through Vindhyan and Himálayan shade,
