Where noble trees stood thick around,

And joying in the lovely view

Near to the aged votaress drew.

To meet the sons of Raghu came,

With hands upraised, the pious dame,

And bending low with reverence meet

Welcomed them both and pressed their feet.

Then water, as beseems, she gave,

Their lips to cool, their feet to lave.

To that pure saint who never broke
