Canto CXIII. Mandodarí's Lament.

While thus they wept, supreme in place,

The loveliest for form and face,

Mandodarí drew near alone,

Looked on her lord and made her moan:

“Ah Monarch, Indra feared to stand

In fight before thy conquering hand.

From thy dread spear the Immortals ran;

And art thou murdered by a man?
