His foeman and his friend alike:

With Raśmiketu, known and feared

Where'er his ponderous flag was reared;

And Yajnakopa whose delight

Was ruin of the sacred rite.

These met and fought, with thousands more,

And trampled earth was red with gore.

Swift as the bolt which Indra sends

When fire from heaven the mountain rends

Smote Indrajít with furious blows
