How in the wild endure distress,

Nursed in the lap of tenderness?

How will the dear Videhan bear

The heat and cold when wandering there

Bred in the bliss of princely state,

So young and fair and delicate?

The large-eyed lady, wont to eat

The best of finely seasoned meat—

How will she now her life sustain

With woodland fare of self-sown grain?
