The Vánar marvelled and admired:

“O what a rare and wondrous sight!

What beauty, majesty, and might!

All regal pomp combines to grace

This ruler of the Rákshas race.

He, if he scorned not right and law,

Might guide the world with tempered awe:

Yea, Indra and the Gods on high

Might on his saving power rely.”
