With thee, my lord, enchanted strayed

In Chaitraratha's[1013] lovely shade,

And viewed each fairest scene afar

Transported in thy radiant car.

But source of every joy wast thou,

And all my bliss is ended now.”

Then Ráma to Vibhishaṇ cried:

“Whate'er the ritual bids, provide.

Obsequial honours duly pay,

And these sad mourners' grief allay.”
