Kings, worthless found in worth's assay,

With mien dejected turned away.

Thy sons, by Viśvámitra led,

Unurged, my city visited,

And peerless in their might have gained

My daughter, as my vow ordained.

Full in a vast assembly's view

Thy hero Ráma broke in two

The gem of bows, of monstrous size,

That came a treasure from the skies.
