Thy famous bow adorned with gold,

Whereon of yore I loved to bind

Sweet garlands that my hands had twined?

And hast thou sought in heaven a place

Amid the founders of thy race,

Where in the home deserved so well

Thy sires and Daśaratha dwell?

Or dost thou shine a brighter star

In skies where blest immortals are,

Forsaking in thy lofty scorn
