In revelry and wild delight,

Like Indra whom the nymphs entice

To taste the joys of Paradise.

The power to courtiers' hands resigned,

To all their acts his eyes were blind.

All doubt, all fear he cast aside

And lived with pleasure for his guide.

But sage Hanúmán, firm and true,

Whose heart the lore of Scripture knew,

Well trained to meet occasion, trained
