Of sweet content and perfect health.

No widow mourned her well-loved mate,

No sire his son's untimely fate.

They feared not storm or robber's hand;

No fire or flood laid waste the land:

The Golden Age[40] had come again

To bless the days of Ráma's reign.

From him, the great and glorious king,

Shall many a princely scion spring.

And he shall rule, beloved by men,
