Like Vásav, when his glorious form

Is circled by the Gods of storm,

Girt in his hall by kings he saw

His car-borne Ráma near him draw,

Like him who rules the minstrel band

Of heaven;[262] whose valour filled the land,

Of mighty arm and stately pride

Like a wild elephant in stride,

As fair in face as that fair stone

Dear to the moon, of moonbeams grown,[263]
