The Rámáyan of Válmíki, translated into English verse

Canto LIII. Vajradanshtra's Sally.

Project Gutenberg EPUB3 edition Valmiki and Griffith, Ralph T. H. (Ralph Thomas Hotchkin)
Open passage
Fierce as a hungry lion when
Open passage
Unwary deer approach his den,
Open passage
Angad, his eyes with fury red,
Open passage
Waving a tree above his head,
Open passage
Rushed with wild charge which none could stay
Open passage
Where stood the giants' dense array.
Open passage
Like tall trees levelled by the blast
Open passage
Before him fell the giants fast,
Open passage
And earth that streamed with blood was strown
Open passage
With warriors, steeds, and cars o'erthrown.
