The reverence of a village throng,

Its altar with their offerings spread,

And the gay flag that waved o'erhead.

She looked and saw the victor stand

Resting upon his bow his hand:

And fierce Sugríva she descried,

And Lakshmaṇ by his brother's side.

She passed them by, nor stayed to view,

Swift to her husband's side she flew;

Then as she looked, her strength gave way,
