Betook him to the eastern land,

And brave Susheṇ in eager quest

Sped swiftly to the gloomy west.

Each Vánar chieftain sought with speed

The quarter by his king decreed,

While from his legions rose on high

The shout and boast and battle cry:

“We will restore the dame and beat

The robber down beneath our feet.

My arm alone shall win the day
