Like locusts o'er the land outspread.

To northern realms where rising high

The King of Mountains cleaves the sky,

Fierce Śatabal with vast array

Of Vánar warriors led the way.

Far southward, as his lord decreed,

Wise Hanumán, the Wind-God's seed,

With Angad his swift way pursued,

And Tára's warlike multitude,

Strong Vinata with all his band
