And joyously to Ráma, best

Of war-trained chiefs, these words addressed:

“What champion, Raghu's son, may hope

With thee in deadly fight to cope,

Whose arrow, leaping from the bow,

Cleaves tree and hill and earth below?

Scarce might the Gods, arrayed for strife

By Indra's self, escape, with life

Assailed by thy victorious hand:

And how may Báli hope to stand?
