“Hail, Bráhman Saint! for such thy place:

Thy vows austere have won our grace.

A Bráhman's rank thy penance stern

And ceaseless labour richly earn.

I with the Gods of Storm decree

Long life, O Bráhman Saint, to thee.

May peace and joy thy soul possess:

Go where thou wilt in happiness.”

Thus by the General Sire addressed,

Joy and high triumph filled his breast.
