My choice is made, I will not dim

Mine honour and be false to him.

So, son of Raghu, leave me still

The power to wander where I will,

And swifter than the thought my flight

Shall place me on Mahendra's height.

My mansions of eternal joy,

By penance won, thou mayst destroy,

My path to these thy shaft may stay.

Now to the work! No more delay!
