With lotus eyes so large and full,

Armed with the quiver, sword, and bow,

Whose figures like the Aśvins[216] show,

Like children of the deathless Powers,

Come freely to these shades of ours,[217]

How have they reached on foot this place?

What do they seek, and what their race?

As sun and moon adorn the sky,

This spot the heroes glorify.

Alike in stature, port, and mien,
