With bravest heart can brook,

Met in the front of deadly fight,

On Raghu's son to look.

The giant hosts were brave and strong,

Good at the bow and spear:

But Ráma slew the routed throng,

A lion 'mid the deer.

No lion's tooth can match his sword,

Or arrows fiercely shot:

He sleeps, he sleeps—the lion lord;
