“The prince of men, thy Ráma, waits

Before thee at the palace gates.

His wealth to Bráhmans he has dealt,

And all who in his home have dwelt.

Admit thy son. His friends have heard

His kind farewell and parting word,

He longs to see thee first, and then

Will seek the wilds, O King of men.

He, with each princely virtue's blaze,

Shines as the sun engirt by rays.”
