Is not the wondrous chariot mine,

Named Pushpak, wrought by hands divine.

The prize which Rávaṇ seized of old

Victorious o'er the God of Gold?

This chariot, kept with utmost care,

Will waft thee through the fields of air,

And thou shalt light unwearied down

In fair Ayodhyá's royal town.

But yet if aught that I have done

Has pleased thee well, O Raghu's son;
