By Bráhmans skilled in Holy Writ.

Hence brightest glory, ne'er to end,

And matchless fame his youth attend.

Skilled in the use of spear and shield,

And arms which heavenly warriors wield,

Supreme in war, unconquered yet

By man, fiend, God in battle met,

Whene'er in pomp of war he goes

'Gainst town or city of the foes,

He ever comes with Lakshmaṇ back
