Piled in a mighty heap to dry,

With many another carcass nigh.

And Lakshmaṇ's brother saw, o'erjoyed,

The work that had his hands employed,

Then to his consort thus he cried:

“Now be the general gifts supplied.”

Then Sítá, fairest beauty, placed

The food for living things to taste,

And set before the brothers meat

And honey that the pair might eat.
