Avoid to touch them, and be wise.

For Rohitas, a guardian band

Of fierce Gandharvas, round them stand,

Who five bright sovereign lords[712] obey,

In glory like the God of Day.

Here by good deeds a home is won

With shapes like fire, the moon, the sun.

Here they who merit heaven by worth

Dwell on the confines of the earth.

There stay: beyond it, dark and drear,
