But then to wild confusion left,

Of Ráma and of me bereft.

If Bharat to thy plan consent

And long for Ráma's banishment,

Ne'er let his hands presume to pay

The funeral honours to my clay.

Vile foe, thou cause of all mine ill,

Obtain at last thy cursed will.

A widow soon shalt thou enjoy

The sweets of empire with thy boy.
