This, O my lord, thou wilt not shun.

Thou hast but now a promise made,

The saints of Daṇḍak wood to aid:

And to protect their lives from ill

The giants' blood in tight wilt spill:

And from thy promise lasting fame

Will glorify the forest's name.

Armed with thy bow and arrows thou

Forth with thy brother journeyest now,

While as I think how true thou art
