And goats whose hair was white and fine,

And many a thousand head of kine:

Slaves, men and damsels, he bestowed,

And many a car and fair abode:

Such gifts he gave the Bráhman race

His father's obsequies to grace.

Then when the morning's earliest ray

Appeared upon the thirteenth day,

Again the hero wept and sighed

Distraught and sorrow-stupefied;
