On passed the tamer of his foes,

While well clad dames, in crowded rows,

Each chamber lattice thronged to view,

And chaplets on the hero threw.

Then all, of peerless face and limb,

Sang Ráma's praise for love of him,

And blent their voices, soft and sweet,

From palace high and crowded street:

“Now, sure, Kauśalyá's heart must swell

To see the son she loves so well,
