To scan the pathway for the host,

And let thy bravest and thy best,

A hundred thousand, wait his hest.

Go forth, O warrior Níla, lead

The legions on through wood and mead

Where pleasant waters cool the ground,

And honey, flowers, and fruit abound.

Go, and with timely care prevent

The Rákshas foeman's dark intent.

With watchful troops each valley guard
