The Rámáyan of Válmíki, translated into English verse

Canto LV. Fear For Sítá.

Project Gutenberg EPUB3 edition Valmiki and Griffith, Ralph T. H. (Ralph Thomas Hotchkin)
Open passage
Then round him heavenly voices rang,
Open passage
And, sweetly tuned, his praises sang:
Open passage
“O glorious is the exploit done
Open passage
By Hanumán the Wind-God's son.
Open passage
The flames o'er Lanká's city rise:
Open passage
The giants' home in ruin lies.
Open passage
O'er roof and wall the fires have spread,
Open passage
Nor harmed a hair of Sítá's head.”
