The fire restrains his wonted heat

Where stand the dreaded Rávaṇ's feet,

And, necklaced with the wandering wave,

The sea before him fears to rave.

Kuvera's self in sad defeat

Is driven from his blissful seat.

We see, we feel the giant's might,

And woe comes o'er us and affright.

To thee, O Lord, thy suppliants pray

To find some cure this plague to stay.”
