The Rámáyan of Válmíki, translated into English verse

Canto X. Rávan Asleep.

Project Gutenberg EPUB3 edition Valmiki and Griffith, Ralph T. H. (Ralph Thomas Hotchkin)
Open passage
The Vánar marked the dame more fair
Open passage
Than all the royal ladies there,
Open passage
And thought, “These rarest beauties speak
Open passage
The matchless dame I come to seek.
Open passage
Peerless in grace and splendour, she
Open passage
The Maithil queen must surely be.”
