Or perish by our hands to-day.

Thy love for Raghu's son forsake,

And Rávaṇ for thy husband take,

Or we will rend thy limbs apart

And banquet on thy quivering heart.

Now from her body strike the head,

And tell the king the dame is dead.

Then by our lord's commandment she

A banquet for our band shall be.

Come, let the wine be quickly brought
