Speak, Vánar King, that I may know

Where dwells the cause of all my woe;

The fiend for whose transgression all

The giants by this hand shall fall.

He who the Maithil lady stole

And kindled fury in my soul,

Has sought his fate in senseless pride

And opened Death's dark portal wide.

Then tell me, Vánar lord, I pray,

The dwelling of my foe,
