Lest from their prison-house they burst,

And standest by the gates of hell

Their limitary sentinel.

To thee is given the power to spread

Or spring above thy watery bed.

Now, best of noble mountains, rise

And do the thing that I advise.

E'en now above thy buried crest

Flies mighty Hanumán, the best

Of Vánars, moved for Ráma's sake
