All life with checkless power await,

So Lakshmaṇ in my wrath to-day

My vengeful might shall brook no stay,

Unless this day I see my dame

In whose sweet form is naught to blame,—

Yea, as before, my love behold

Fair with bright teeth and perfect mould,

This world shall feel a deadly blow

Destroyed with ruthless overthrow,

And serpent lords and Gods of air,
