Like Indra's bolts which rend and blast.

But Ráma with a trenchant dart

Cleft Dúshaṇ's ponderous bow apart.

And then the gold-decked steeds who drew

The chariot, with four shafts he slew.

One crescent dart he aimed which shred

Clean from his neck the driver's head;

Three more with deadly skill addressed

Stood quivering in the giant's breast.

Hurled from his car, steeds, driver slain,
