O see me in the giant's hold.

Fly, son of Raghu, swiftly flee,

And thy dear self from danger free.

Me to the fiend an offering give;

Fly at thine ease thyself and live.

Wilt find ere long thy Maithil queen,

And when thou holdest, throned again,

Thine old hereditary reign,

With servants prompt to do thy will,
