And earth by my avenging deed

Shall from this mass of sin be freed.

This day my wrath, too long restrained,

Shall fall upon the foe, unchained,

Mad as the kindled flame that speeds

Destroying through the grass and reeds.

This day mine arrows keen and fierce

The bodies of the foe shall pierce:

The woods on Chitrakúṭa's side

Shall run with torrents crimson-dyed.
