Their consecrating hymns of praise,

He spoiled the Soma's sacred juice

Poured forth by them in solemn use.

The sacrifice his hands o'erthrew,

And cruelly the Bráhmans slew.

His was a heart that naught could melt,

Joying in woes which others felt.

She saw the ruthless monster there,

Dread of the worlds, unused to spare.

In robes of heavenly texture dressed,
