The priests and lords, a fair array,

In sun-bright chariots led the way.

Behind, a well appointed throng,

Nine thousand elephants streamed along.

Then sixty thousand cars, and then,

With various arms, came fighting men.

A hundred thousand archers showed

In lengthened line the steeds they rode—

A mighty host, the march to grace

Of Bharat, pride of Raghu's race.
