“The bracelets thou hast fondly shown,

And earrings, are to me unknown,

But by long service taught I greet

The anklets of her honoured feet.”[560]

Then to Sugríva Ráma, best

Of Raghu's sons, these words addressed:

“Say to what quarter of the sky

The cruel fiend was seen to fly,

Bearing afar my captured wife,

My darling dearer than my life.
