But in the day of harvest pain

Comes like the ripening of the grain.

So thou whom fate and folly lead

To ruin for this guilty deed,

Shalt die by Ráma's arm ere long

A dreadful death for hideous wrong.

Ah, too successful in their ends

Are Queen Kaikeyí and her friends,

When virtuous Ráma, dear to fame,

Is mourning for his ravished dame.
