Our Rákshas foemen faints and fades.

The running brooks are fresh and fair,

The boughs their ripening clusters bear,

And scented breezes gently sway

The leaflet of the tender spray.

See, with a glory half divine

The Vánars' ordered legions shine,

Bright as the Gods' exultant train

Who saw the demon Tárak slain.

O let thine eyes these signs behold,
