“This deed will free the worlds from woe

And cause the giants' overthrow.

The fiend has borne to Lanká's isle

The lady of the lovely smile,

True consort born to happy fate

With features fair and delicate.

She looks and longs for Ráma's face,

But sees a crowd of demon race,

And guarded by the giant's train

Pines for her lord and weeps in vain.
