The Rámáyan of Válmíki, translated into English verse

Canto LI. Dhúmráksha's Sally.

Project Gutenberg EPUB3 edition Valmiki and Griffith, Ralph T. H. (Ralph Thomas Hotchkin)
Open passage
Before his king with reverence due
Open passage
Dhúmráksha bowed him, and withdrew.
Open passage
Around him at his summons came
Open passage
Fierce legions led by chiefs of fame.
Open passage
Well armed with sword and spear and mace,
Open passage
They hurried to the gathering place,
Open passage
And rushed to battle, borne at speed
Open passage
By elephant and car and steed.
