In soul than all his impious race,

And happy Ráma reunite

To Sítá, rival in delight

Of the triumphant Moon when he

Rejoins his darling Rohiṇí.[641]

Ten million million demons guard

The gates of Lanká firmly barred.

All hope until that host be slain,

To smite the robber king is vain.

Nor with Sugríva's aid alone
