For those who fear are those we dread.

Lakshmaṇ, the mighty bow who draws,

With all his soul serves Ráma's cause;

And chains as strong to Bharat bind

Śatrughna, with his heart and mind,

And far remote, I ween, the chance

That might the younger two advance.

Yes, Queen, 'tis Ráma that I dread,
