The foe who long has injured thee

Lie, like a shattered mountain, low,

Slain by the tempest of my bow.”

Thus Ráma spake: Sugríva heard,

And mighty joy his bosom stirred:

As thus his champion he addressed:

“Now by thy favour, first and best

Of heroes, shall thy friend obtain

His realm and darling wife again

Recovered from the foe.
