As one whom holiest rites befriend.

But him who dared to steal the dame

Pursue, O King, with ceaseless aim,

With me, the hermits' holy band,

And thy great bow to arm thy hand

By every mighty flood we'll seek,

Each wood, each hill from base to peak.

To the fair homes of Gods we'll fly,

And bright Gandharvas in the sky,

Until we reach, where'er he be,
