Thou, Raghu's son, so famous through

The triple world as just and true,

Perform thy bounden duty still,

Nor stain thy race by deed of ill.

If thou have sworn and now refuse

Thou must thy store of merit lose.

Then, Monarch, let thy Ráma go,

Nor fear for him the demon foe.

The fiends shall have no power to hurt

Him trained to war or inexpert,
