Four chiefs on earth unparalleled,

Who with the guardian Gods may vie

Who rule the regions of the sky.

There Ráma stood, the boast and pride

Of Raghu's race, by Lakshmaṇ's side.

There stood the sage Vibhishaṇ, there

Sugríva strong beyond compare.

These four alone can batter down

Gate, rampart, wall, and Lanká's town.

Nay, Ráma matchless in his form,
