In eager love thus Bharat cried,

And thus the Wind-God's son replied:

“Look, Bharat, on those laden trees

That murmur with the song of bees;

For Ráma's sake the saint has made

Untimely fruits, unwonted shade.

Such power in ages long ago

Could Indra's gracious boon bestow.

O, hear the Vánars' voices, hear

The shouting which proclaims them near.
