He carried on his iron spear,

Two wolves, an elephant's head beside

With mighty tusks which blood-drops dyed.

When on the three his fierce eye fell,

He charged them with a roar and yell

As furious as the grisly King

When stricken worlds are perishing.

Then with a mighty roar that shook

The earth beneath their feet, he took

The trembling Sítá to his side.
