Thus radiant in his glory showed

King Ráma as he homeward rode,

In power and might unparalleled.

The reins the hand of Bharat held.

Above the peerless victor's head

The snow-white shade Śatrughna spread,

And Lakshmaṇ's ever-ready hand

His forehead with a chourie fanned.

Vibhishaṇ close to Lakshmaṇ's side

Sharing his task a chourie plied.
