Imperious, proud, and fierce like fire,

And ne'er will pardon us the crime

Of fruitless search and wasted time.

Far better thus to end our lives,

And leave our wealth, our homes and wives,

Leave our dear little ones and all,

Than by his vengeful hand to fall.

Think not Sugríva's wrath will spare

Me Báli's son, imperial heir:

For Raghu's royal son, not he,
