Their binding net around us cast.

To Brahmá's grace the chieftain owes

The matchless power and might he shows;

And mortal strength in vain contends

With him whom Brahmá's self befriends.

Then let us still with dauntless hearts

Endure this storm of pelting darts.

Soon must we sink bereaved of sense;

And then the victor, hurrying hence,

Will seek his father in his hall
