By Ráma's mighty arm alone,

Add Triśirás and Dúshaṇ dead,

And Khara, with the hosts they led.

Their death she saw, and mad with pain,

Roared like a cloud that brings the rain,

And fled in anger and dismay

To Lanká, seat of Rávaṇ's sway.

There on a throne of royal state

Exalted sat the potentate,

Begirt with counsellor and peer,
