“Thou, Ráma's foe, art thus defied.

His arm the guilty Báli slew;

Thus, tyrant, shalt thou perish too.

Thy sons, thy friends, proud King, and all

Thy kith and kin with thee shall fall;

And, emptied of the giant's brood,

Burnt Lanká be a solitude.

Fly to the Sun-God's pathway, go

And hide thee deep in hell below:

In vain from Ráma shalt thou flee
