This Ráma who, in stress of woe,

Seeks, banished as his sire decreed,

Assistance from the Vánar breed?

Am I so feeble in thine eyes,

Though feared by dwellers of the skies,—

Whose might in many a battle shown

The glorious race of giants own?

Shall I for fear of him restore

The lady whom I hither bore,

Exceeding fair like Beauty's Queen[944]
