Laid him with reverential care.

But while he rested on the bed

Still was his soul disquieted.

In grief he tossed his arms on high

Lamenting with a piteous cry:

“O Ráma, Ráma,” thus said he,

“My son, thou hast forsaken me.

High bliss awaits those favoured men

Left living in Ayodhyá then,

Whose eyes shall see my son once more
