And lives of saintly virtue lead:

With ordered senses undefiled,

Ráma and Lakshmaṇ are they styled.

Fair as the Minstrels' King[460] are they,

And stamped with signs of regal sway.

I know not if the heroes trace

Their line from Gods or Dánav[461] race.

There by these wondering eyes between

The noble youths a dame was seen,

Fair, blooming, young, with dainty waist,
