Thus spake to Raghu's mighty son:

“See, all the Vánar hosts who fear

My sovereign might are gathered here.

Chiefs strong as Indra's self, who speed

Wher'er they list, these armies lead.

Fierce and terrific to the view

As Daityas or the Dánav[659] crew,

Famed in all lands for souls afire

With lofty thoughts, they never tire,

O'er hill and vale they wander free,
