  Speaker 1: Book five of the Ramayan of Balmiki, translated by Ralph
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: to H. Griffith caunto one Duman's sleep does Rabin's foe
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: resolved to trace the captive to her hiding place through
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: airy pathways overhead, which heavenly minstrels visited with straining nerve
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: and eager brows, like some strong husband of the cows
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: in ready might. He stood prepared for the bold task.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: His soul has dead over gem like grass that flashed
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: and glowed the barner like a lion's strowed. Ruised by
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: the thunder of his tread, the beasts, two shady coverts,
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: fled tall trees he crushed or hawled aside, and every
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: boat was terrified around him. Loveliest lilies grew pale, pink
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: and red, and white and blue, and tints of many
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: A metal lent the light of varied ornament gandervas, changing
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: forms and will and yakshas roamed the lovely hill, and
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: countless serpent gods were seen, where flowers and grass were
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: fresh and green, as some resplendent serpent takes his pastime
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: in the best of lakes. So on the mountain's ooty height,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: the barner wndered with the light. Then, standing on the
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: flowery sword, he paid his vows to Saint and God,
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: Sayambu and the sun he prayed, and a swift wind
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: to land him aid and Indra, sovereign of the skies,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: to bless his hearty enterprise. Then once again the chief
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: addressed the banners from the mountain crest, swift as a
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: shaft from Rama's bow to Raman's city. Will I go,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: and if she be not there, will fly and seek
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: the lady in the sky. Or if in heaven she
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: be not found, will heither bring the giant bound He
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: ceased and mastering his mind, sprang downward from the mountain height,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: while shattered by each mighty limb. The trees unrooted followed him.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: The shadow on the ocean cart by his vast form.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: As on he passed, flew like a ship before the gale.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: When the strong breeze has filled the sail, and where
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: his cause the banner held, the sea beneath him raised
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: and swelled. Then gods and all the heavenly train poured
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: flowrets down in gentle rain, their voices glad Gandharva was raised,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: and saints in heaven the Banner praised. Fain, would the
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: sea his succor land and Ragu's noble son befriend. He
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: moved by chill for Rama's sake, to heal Manaka. Thus
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: bespake o strong Manachar. Heaven's decree in days of old
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: appointed thee to bid Aa Sudah's bar and keep the
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: rebels in the lowest deep. Thou Goddess, those whom Heaven
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: has caused from their prison house, they burst and stands
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: by the gates of Hell, their limitary sentinel to these
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: given the power to spread all spring above thy watery bed, now,
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: best of noble mountains, rise and do the thing that
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: I advise. Even now above thy buried crest flies Mighty Hunuman,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: the best of barners, moved, for Rama's sake the wondrous
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: deed to undertake lift up thy head, that he may
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: stay and rest him on his weary way. He heard,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: and from his watery shrouded as bursts the sun from
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: autumn cloud rose swiftly crowned with plants and tree, and
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: stood above their foaming sea. Their rooty's lofty pigs are
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: praised bright as a hundred sons. He blazed, and crest
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: and crack of barnished gold flashed on the flood that
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: round him. Rolled the banner taught the mountain rose a
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: hostile bar to interpose, and like a wind swept cloud,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: overtrew the glittering mountain as he flew. Then from the
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: falling hill rang out a warning voice and joyful shout.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: Again he raised him high in air to meet the
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: flying banner there, and, standing on his topmost peak in
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: human form, began to speak best of the barner's noblest line.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: A mighty taskerchief is dying here for a while, I
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: prayed ye light and rest upon the breezy height. The
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: prince of Raggu's line was he who gave his glory
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: to the sea, who now the ramusen voy shows high
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: honor for the depth he owned. He bade me lift
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: my buried head uprising from my watery bed. Then woo
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: the bonner chief to rest a moment on my glittering crest.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: Refresh thy weary limbs, and eat my mountain fruits, for
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: they are sweet. I too, o chieftain, know THEE well
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: three worlds, thy famous virtues tell, and now my wind
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: with thee may vie whose spring impetuous through the sky.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: To every guest, Thou mean and low the wise, respect
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: and honor show, And how shall I neglect thee? How
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: slight the great guest so near me? Now, son of
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: the wind, it is thine to share the mind of
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: him who shakes the air. And for he loves his offspring,
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: he is honored when I honor thee of Yor when
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: Creata's age was near, the little hills and mountains flew
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: wherever they listed, borne on wings more rapid than the
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: feeded kings. But mighty terror came on all the gods
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: and saints who feared their fall, and Indra, in his anger,
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: rent their pinions with the balls he sent. When in
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: his rootless fury he leveled his flashing bault at me,
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: the great souled wind inclined to save, and laid me
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: in it the ocean's wave. Thus by the favor of desire.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: I kept my cherished wings and tire. And for this
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: deed of kindness done, I honor thee his noble son.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: O come thy weary limbs, relieve and honor deal from me,
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: receive I may not rest. The banner cried, I must
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: not stay or torn aside. Yet please the am. I
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: the noblest hill, and as the deed except thy wail.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: Thus as he spoke, he lightly pressed with his broad
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: hand the mountain's crest. Then bounded upward to the height
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: of heaven, rejoicing in his mind, and through the fields
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: of boundless blue the pathway of his father flew God's
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: saints and heavenly birds beheld that flight that none had paralleled.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Then to the Naga's mother came and thus addressed the
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: sun bright dame see Honuman, with venturous sleep, would spring
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: across the mighty deep. A banner prince the wind, God's seeth,
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: Come Sudasir his cause. Impete in rockxious form, thy shape,
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: disguise terrific like a hill in size. Let thy red
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: eyes with fiery glow, and high as heaven thy body
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: grow with fearful tasks. The chief defy that we his
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: power and strength may try he will with guile thy
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: hold a lude, Oh won't thy might by these subdued
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: please do the grateful honors paid the god like dame
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: their words. Abbaid clad in a shape of terror, she
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: sprang from the middle of the sea, and with fierce
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: eccents that appall'd all creatures to the banner, call'd come
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: prince a banners doom'd to be my food this day
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: by Heaven's decree, such boon from ages long ago to
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: Brahma's favoring will I bow? She ceased, and h no
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: one replied. By shape and tread are terrified. Brave Rama
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: orders metal spows lodged in the shade of Dunduck's bows,
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: dense Ravan King of Giant's toll Sitar, the joy of
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: Rama's soul, by Rama's high behest to her. I go
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: a willing messenger, and never should stem hinder one who
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: toils for the slat sun. First captive Sitar, will I see,
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: and him who sent and waits for me, then come
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: and to thy will submit here by my truth, I
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: promise it. Nay, hope not does thy life to save?
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: Not such the boom that Brahma gave, and turn my mouth,
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: was her reply. Then forward on thy journey, high stretch,
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: wider stretch, thy jaws, exclaimed the bonner chief to iron inflamed,
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: And as the rakhas near him drew ten leagues in height,
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: his stature grew ten straight. How treatening jaws between a
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: gulf of twenty leagues was seen to fifty leagues he vexed,
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: and still how mout grew wider at her well, then
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: smaller than a tumb, became shrunk by his power the
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: banner's frame. He leaped to din, and, turning round, sprang
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: through the portal at a bound, then hung in air
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: a moment while he thus addressed her with a smile.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: Old Oxa's child, farewell at last, for I would in
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: thy mouth have passed thou hast a gift of Bramha's grace.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: I go, the metal queen to trace, then to our
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: former shape restored, She thus addressed the banner Lord. Then
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: forward to the task, and may success and joy attend
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: thy way go, and the rescued lady bring in triumph
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: to her lord and king. Then hosts of spirits as
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: they gazed the daring of the banner praised to the
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: broad fields of eater first Garou's royal self. He passed
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: the region of the cloud and rain, loved by the
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: gay Gandharva train, where amid the birds that came and went,
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: shone in Rose's glorious bow and band, and like a
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: host of wandering stars flashed the high gods celestial cause.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: Fierce Singhika, who joyed in ill and changed her form
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: to walk her well, descried him on his airy way
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: and marked the banner for her prey this day. At length,
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: the demon cried, my hunger shall be satisfied, and that
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: his passing shadow caught the laded with the cheering toart.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: The banner felt the power that stayed and held him
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: as she grasped his shade, like some tall ship upon
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: the main that struggles with the wind in vain below.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: Above his eye, he bent and scorned the sea, and
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: Farma bend high from the brighty deep. Unreared, the monster's
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: hideous form appeared Sugrivau's tail. He cried, is true, this
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: is the demon dire to view of whom the banner
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: monarch told, whose grasp a passing shade can hold then
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: as a cloud in time, Grose his form dilting, swelled
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: and rose wide as the space from heaven to hell.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: Her jaws she opened with a yell, and rushed upon
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: her fancied prey with cloud like raw, to seize and
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: slay the banner. Swift as Toot compressed his borrowed bulk
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: of limb and chest, and stood with one quick bound
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: in sight the monstrous mouth. She opened wide heat like
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: the moon when Rahu draws the orb wooden his ravening jaws.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: Wouldn't that ample cavern pant the demon's form he tore
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: and rent, and from the mangled corcass freed came forth
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: again with tod like speed. Thus with his skill the
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: fiend he slew then to his wonted stitcher grew this
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: where it saw the demon die, and hailed the banner
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: from the sky. Well hast thou fought a wondrous fight,
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: nor spared the Fian's terrific might. On on performed a
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: blameless deed, and in dye every wish succeeded. Never can
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: they fail in whom combine such valor taught and skill
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: as dying please did the praises as they sang again
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: through fields of air. He sprang, and now his travailed
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: well nigh done. The distant shore was almost one before him.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: On the marchant stood in long dark line, a waving ood,
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: and the fair island, bright and green with flowers and trees,
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: was clearly seen, and every babbling brook that gave how
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: Lord the sea a tributed wave. He lighted down on
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: Lambard's peak with its tinted metals, stain and streak, and
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: looked while Lanka's plendid town shone on the mountain like
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: a crown counter two Lunka the glorious sight A while
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: he vewed. Then to the town. His way pursued around
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: the barner. As he went breathed from the old delicious scent,
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: and the soft grass beneath his feet with gem like
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: flowers was bright and sweet. Still, as the barner nearer
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: drew more clearly rose the town to view the palm
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: half fan like leaves displayed priellas lent their pleasure and shade.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: Amid the lower greenery fire conspicuous rose the covida a
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: thousand trees, mid flowers that glowed hung down their fruits
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: delicious load, and in their crests that rocked and swayed,
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: sweet birds, delightful music made, and there were plageant pools,
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: where on the glories of the lotus shone, and glimps
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: of sparkling fountains steered by many a joyous water board.
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: Around in lovely gardens grew blooms sweet of scent and
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: bride of here, and lunka seed of raven sway before
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: the wandering barner lay with stately domes and tirred soall
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: encircled by a golden wall, and moats whose waters were
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: aglow with its lily blossoms. Bright below, for Citar's sake,
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: defended well with bolt and bar and sentinel and raxiouses
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: who roamed in bands with ready bows in eager hands.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: He saw the stately mansions rise like pale heued clouds
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: in autumn skies, where noble streets were broad and bright,
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: and banners waved on every height. Her gates were glorious
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: to behold, rich with the shine of barnished gold. A
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: lovely city planned and decked by Heaven's creative architect, fairest
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: of oddly cities meet to be the God's celestial seat,
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: the banner by the northern gate. Thus, in his heart
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: began to bate. Our mightiest host would strive in vain
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: to take this city on the main, A city that
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: may well defy the chosen warriors of the sky, a
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: city never to be won even by the arm of
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: Rago's son. Here is no hope by guile to wind
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: the hostile hearts of those within. Ye are vain to
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: war or bribe, or so dissension mid the banner fell.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: But now my search I must pursue until the metal
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: Queen I vew, and when I find the captive Dame,
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: make victory mine only aim. But if I wear my
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: present shape, how shall I enter and escape the rugxious troops,
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: their gods and spies, and sleepless watch of cruel eyes.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: The fiends of giant rays who hold this mighty town
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: are strong and bold, and I must labor to elude
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: the fiercely watchful multitude. I, in the shape to mock
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: their sight, must steal within the town by night, blind
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: with my art the demon's eyes, and thus achieve my enterprise.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: How may I see myself unseen of the fierce king,
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: the captive Queen, and meet her in some lonely place
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: with none beside her face to face. When the bright
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: sun had left the skies, the barnard dwarfed his mighty size,
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: and in the straightest bounds restrained the bigness of a cat. Retained. Then,
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: when the moon's soft light was spread within the city's walls,
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: he spared canto tree the guardian goddess. There from the
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: suckling rampart's height he gazed upon the wondrous side broad
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: gates which barnished gold displayed, and courts which turkises inlaid
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: with gleaming silver gems, and rows of crystal stairs and
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: porticos in semblance of a raxious dame. The city's guardian
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: goddess came for she, with glances sore and keen the
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: entrance of a foe, had seen, and thus, with fury
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: in her eye, had dressed him with an angry cry,
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: Who art thou? What hast let thee say that in
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: these walls to find thy way? Thou mayst not enter here?
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: In spite of Ravan and his warriors smiled and who
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: art thou? The barner cried by form and frown, unterrified.
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: Why hast thou met me by the gate? And she
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: me thus infuriate He ceased, and Lunka made reply, the
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: guardian of the town. Am I her watch for ever
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: to fulfill my lord? De raxious monarchs wail, but thou
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: shalt fall this hour, and deep shall be their never
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: ending sleep again, he spoke, in spite of thee this
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: golden city. Will I see her gates and towers, and
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: all the pride of street and squire from side to side,
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: and freely wonder where I please amid her groves of
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: flowering trees, on all her beauties sate mine eye. Then
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: as I came will Howard high sweet, with an angry roar,
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: she smote with her huge hand the banner's throat. The
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: smeat and banner rays impelled who had feast appraised. The
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: monster felled, but quick paned, steered with shame and pity
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: for a vanquished dame, when with her senses troubled, weak
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: with terror. Thus she strove to speak, O spare me, thou,
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: whose arm is strong, O spare me and forgive the wrong.
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: The brave that law will never transgress, that spares a
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: woman's helplessness. Here, best of banners, brave and bld what
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: from herself of yore foretold be aware? He said the
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: fatal hour when thou shalt own a bonner's power, then
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: is the giant's day of fear, For terror and defeat
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: are near. Now, Boner Chief overcome by thee I own
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: the truth of Heaven's decree for Sitar's sake, will reign
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: fall on Roven and his down and all and of
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: Cantos one to and three, Cantos four, six, seven, eight,
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: and nine of book five of the Ramayan of Balmiki,
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: translated by Ralph to each Griffith. This liver vox recording
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: is in the public domain recording by Omandu Tree, Canto four.
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: Within the city, the guardian Goddess thus subdued the bonder chief.
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: His way pursued and reached the broad Imperial Street, where
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: fresh blown flowers were bright and sweet. The city seemed
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: a fairer sky, where cloud like houses rose on high.
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: Whence the soft sound of tables came threw many a
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: latticed window frame, and ever an unnon rang out the merry,
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: love and joya shout from house to house. The banner
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: went and marked each varied ornament, while leaves and blossoms
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: deftly strung about the crystal columns hung then soft and
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: full and sweet and clear. The song of women charmed
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: his ear, and blending with their dulcet tones, their anklets
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: chime and tinkling jones. He heard the rackxious minstrel sing
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: the praises of their matchless king, and softly through the
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: evening air came murmurings of text and prayer. Here moved
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: the priest, which tauntsyored head, and there an eager and
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: voice panned mid crowds with hair in mattered twice, clothed
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: in the skins of deer and kind, whose only arms
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: one none might blame, were blades of grass and holy flame.
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: Their savage warriors roamed in bands with clubs and maces
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: in their hands, some dwarfish forms, some huge of size,
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: with single ears and single eyes, Some shone in glittering
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: male arrate with bow and maize and flashing blade, fiends
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: of all shaves and every hel some fierce and foul,
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: some fair to view. He saw the grisly Legion's wait
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: in strictest watch at Robin's Gate, whose palace on the
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: mountain crest rose proudly towering over the rest, fenced with
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: high ramparts from the fell, and lotus covered boats below,
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: but Honumann, unhindered, found quick passage through the guarded bound
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: mid elephants of noblest breed and gilded car and nying steed.
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: I omit cant of five, which corresponds to chapter eleven
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: in Goriziou's edition. Dead Scholar justly observes the eleventh chapter
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: description of evening is certainly the woke of the rhapsodists,
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: and the interpolation of later date. The chapter might be
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: omitted without any injury to the action of the poem.
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: And besides, the meteor style concedes and images differ from
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: the general tenor of the poem, And that continual reputation
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: of the same sounds at the end of each hemistich,
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: which is not exactly rhyme, but assonance, reveals the artificial
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: labor of a more recent age. The following sample will
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: probably be enough fair show the moon as if to
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: land his cheering light to guide a friend, and circled
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: by the starry host, looked down upon the wild sea coast.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: The barner chieftain raised his eyes and saw him sailing
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: through the skies like a bright swan who joys to
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: take his pastime on a silver lake, fair moon that
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: calms the mourner's pain, heaps up the waters of the main,
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: and over the life beneath him, trows a tender light
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: of soft repose. The charm that clings to Munder's hill
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: gleams in the sea when winds are steel, and decks
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: to Lily's opening flower showed in dead moon her sweetest power.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: I am unable to show the difference of style in
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: a translation Canto six. The court the palace gates were
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: guarded well by many a ractious sentinel, and farwardin concealed
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: from view, were dames and female retinue for charm of
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: form and face, renowned, whose tinkling omelets made a sound
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: clashed by the wharros in their glee, like music of
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: a distant sea. The hall beyond the palace gate, reached
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: with each badge of royal state, where lines of noble
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: courtiers stood showed like a lion guarded ood. There the
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: wild music rose and fell of drum and tabor and
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: of shell through chambers of each wholly tide by solar
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: worship sancti fired through grove and garden are dismayed from
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: house to house. The Barner's trade and still his warn
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: during glances, bent on terrace, dome and battlement. Then with
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: a light and rapid tread Prahasta's home, he visited, and
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: cumber Garner's courtyard, where a cloudy pile rose high in air.
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: And wandering over the hill, explored the garden of each
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: raxious lord, each court and grove, he wandered true the
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: night to Raman's palace. Treer she demons watched it foul
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: a face, each armed with sword and spear and maze.
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: Then warrior fiends of every hill, a strange and fearful
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: retinue their elephants in many a row, the terror of
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: the stricken foe huge. A rabbat deftly trained in battlefields,
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: stood ready chained. Fair leaders on the ground were set
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: adorned with gems and golden net. Gay, bloomy creepers clothed
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: the walls. Green bowers were there, and picture halls and
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: chambers made for soft delight. Broad banners waved on every height,
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: and from the roof, like Munder's Hill, the peacock's cry
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: came loud and shrill. Canto seven Raban's Palace. He passed
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: within the walls and gazed on gems and gold that
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: round him blazed, and many a latticed window bright with
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: tarquys and with legulite. Through porsche and ante rooms he passed,
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: each reature fairer than the last, and spacious halls where
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: lancers lay, and bows and shells in fair array, A
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: glorious house that matched in show all paradise displayed below.
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: Upon the polished floor were spread fresh birds and blossoms
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: white and red, and women shone a lovely crowd as
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: lightning flashes through a cloud. A palace plendid as the sky,
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: which moon and planets glorify like art, whose towering hills
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: unfold their jones, and streaks of glittering gold were waving
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: on the mountain brows. The tall trees bent their laden boughs,
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: and every bough and tender spray which a bright load
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: of bloom is gay, and every flower the breeze has bent,
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: feels all the region with its scent. Near the tall
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: palace pale of hull show lovely lakes where lilies blue
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: and lotuses with flower and bud gleamed on the bosom
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: of the flood. There shone with gems that flashed afire.
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: The marvel of the flower named car made wondrous dwellings,
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: still confessed supreme and nobler than the rest. Thereon which
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: wondrous art designed were Turkey's birds of varied kind, and
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: many a sculptured serpent rolled his twisted coil in barnished gold,
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: and steeds were there of noblest form, with flying feet
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: as fleet as storm, and elephants with deftest scale stood
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: sculptured by a silver rail, each bearing on his trunk
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: a wreath of lilies from the flood. Beneath their Lushmy
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: Beauty's heavenly queen, wrought by the artist's skill, was seen
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: beside a flower clad pole to stand holding a lotus
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: in her head, and came to it the enchanted car.
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: Dire gleamed the car with welt unfold of precious gems
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: and burnished gold. Nor could the wind God's son withdraw
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: his rapt gaze from the sight he saw by Bisircramar's
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: self proclaimed the noblest walk his hand had framed uplifted
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: in the air, it glowed bright as the sun's day.
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: Ronald rode the eye might scan the wondrous frame and
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: vainly seek one's part to blame. So fine was every
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: part and fair, which gems inlaid with lavish care, no
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: precious tones, so rich a dawn the cars wherein the
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: God's auborne prize of all resistless might that sprang from
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: pain and penance. Right obedient to the Master's wail, it
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: moved over wood and towering hill, a glorious marvel, well
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: designed by Bishop Karamar's artist mind, and ordered every fair
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: device that dexed the cause of paradise. Swift moving as
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: the Master chose, it flew to air or sank or rose,
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: and in its fleetness left behind the fury of the
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: rushing wind meet mentioned for the good and great, the holy, wise,
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: and fortunate. Throughout the chariot's vast extent were chambers wide
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: and excellent, all pure and lovely to the eyes, as
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: moonlit shed from cloudless skies, fierce globlins rovers of the night,
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: who cleft the clouds with swiftest flight. In countless hosts
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: that chariot drew, with hearings clashing as they flew. Canton nine,
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: the lady's bower, where stately mansions rose around a palace
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: fairer still he found, whose royal height and splendor showed
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: where Robin's self, the king abode a chosen band, that
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: bow and sword guarded the palace of their lord, Where
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: raxious dames of noble race, and many a princess fair
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: of Fays, whom Rabin's arm had torn away from vanquished
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: kings in slumber, lay their jeweled arches high overhead, and
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: ever changing lasture shed from ruby pearl, and every gemb
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: on golden pillows under them. Delicious came the tempered air
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: that breathed a heavenly summer. There, stealing through bloomy trees
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: that bore each pleasant fruit in endless tore. No check
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: was there from jealous colt, No door was fast, no
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: portal barred, Only a sweet air breeded to meat. The stranger,
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: as a host should greet a venderer of his kit
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: and kin, and woo his weary steps. Within, he stood
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: with an aspicious hall with fretted roof and painted wall.
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: The giant robins boast and pride loved even as a
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: lovely bride, he were long to tell each marvel dare
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: the crystal floor, the jeweled stair, the gold, the silver
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: and the shine of chrystolite and albandine. There breathed the
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: fairest blooms of spring. There flashed the proud swan's silver wing,
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: the splendor of whose feeders broke through fragrant reed of
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: allow smoke. It is in Ros's heaven, the banner cried,
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: gazing in joy from side to side, the home of
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: all the gods. Is this the mention of etonnal bliss.
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: There were the softest carpets, spread delightful to the sight,
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: and tread where many a lovely women lay, overcome by
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: slip fhatict with play. The wine no longer cheered, the feast,
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: the sound of revelry had ceased, The tinkling feet no
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: longer steered, No chiming of a jone was hard. So
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: when each bird has sought on nest and sworn, some
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: mute and wild bees rest sleep of fair lilies on
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: the lake, till the sun's kiss shall bid them wake,
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: Like the calm field of winter sky, which stars unnumbered glorify,
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: so shone and glowed the sumptuous room with its living
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: stars that chased a gloom. These are the stars, the
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: chieftain cried in autumn nights, that outward glide in brighter
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: forms to reappear and shine in matchless luster. Here, with
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: wondering eyes he a while he vewed its graceful form
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: and attitude. One lady's head was back quatrown pear was
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: her arm, and loose her joone. The garland that her
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: brow had grazed hung closely round, and others waist Here
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: gleamed two little feet, all bare of anklets that had sparkled. There.
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: Here lay a queenly dame at rest in all her
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: glorious garments dressed. There slept another whose small hand had
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: loosened every tie and bend in careless raise. Another lay
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: with gems and jewels, cast away like a young creeper,
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: when the tread of the wild elephant had spread confusion
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: and destruction round and cast it flowerless to the ground.
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: Here lay a slumberer, still as dead, save only that
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: her bomy bread raised ever an anon, the lace that
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: floated over her sleeping face. There sunk in sleep an
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: amorous maid, her sweet head on a mirror, laid like
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: a fair lily bending teal, her petals rest upon the rail.
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: Another black eyed damsel pressed her leod upon her heaving breast,
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: as though her loving arms were twined round him, for
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: whom her bosom pined, and at a pretty sleeper round
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: a silver vase her arms had wound that seemed so
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: fresh and fair and young. A reed of flowers that
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: over it hung in sweet disorder, lay a trunk weary
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: of dwance and play and song, where heedless girls had
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: sunk to rest. One pillowed on another's breast, her tender
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: cheek half seen beneath bard roses of the falling reed,
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: the while her long soft hair concealed the beauties that
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: her friend revealed. With limbs at random interlaced round arm
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: and leg and troat and waist, that reed of women
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: lay asleep like blossoms in a careless heap. And of
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: cantos four, six, seven, eight, and nine cantoes ten to
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: thirteen of Book five of the Ramaum of Balmiki, translated

  Speaker 1: in the public domain. Recording by O one to three
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: Canto ten roubn asleep apart a das of crystal rose,
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: with couches spread for soft repose, adorned gold and gems
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: of price made for the halts of paradise. A canopy
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: was over them, spread pale as the light the moonbeams shed,
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: and female figures deftly planned. The faces of the sleepers
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: fanned there on a splendid couch, asleep on softest skins
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: of deer and sheep, dark as a cloud that dims
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: the day. The monarch of the Giant's lay perfumed with sandals,
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: prescous scent and gay with golden ornament, His fiery eyes
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: in slumber closed in glittering robes. The king reposed like
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: Munder's mighty hill, asleep with flowery trees that clothed his teeth.
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: Near and more near the burner. The monarch of the
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: fiends to view and saw the giants stretched supine fatigue
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: to play, and drunk with wine while shaking all the
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: monstrous frame. His breath like hissing serpents, came with gold
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: and glittering bracelets gay. His mighty arms extended lay used
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: as the towering shafts that bare the flag of Indra
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: high in air, scarce by Araward's task impressed showed red
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: upon his shaggy breast, and on his shoulders were displayed
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: the DNTs the thunderbolt had made the spouses of the
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: giant king around their lord were slumbering and gay, with
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: sparkling ear rings, shone fear as the moon to look upon.
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: There By her husband's side was seen Mandodari, the favorite Queen,
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: the beauty of whose youthful face beamed a soft glory
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: through the place. The bonner marked the dame more fair
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: than all the royal ladies there, and taught these rarest
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: beauties speak the matchless dame. I came to seek, peerless
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: in grace and splendor, she themtal queen. Must she surely
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: be count eleven the banquet hall. But soon the baseless
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: thought was pound and longing hope again returned. No, Rama's
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: wife is none of these, No careless dame that leaves
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: at ease. Her widowed heart has ceased to care for
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: dress and sleep, and dainty fair she nearer lover, never
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: would lie the winter, would have from the sky her own.
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: Her only lord, whom none can match in heaven, is
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: Raggles's son. Then to the banquet hall, intent on strictest
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: search his steps, he bent. He passed within the door,
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: and found fair women sleeping on the ground, were wearied
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: with the song perchance, the merry game, the wanton dance.
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: Each girl, with wine and sleep oppressed, had sunk her
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: drooping head to rest. The spacious haul from side side,
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: which noblest fare was well supplied, the quarters of the bar.
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: And here roast of the buffalo and deer there on
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: gold plate untouched as yet the peacock and the helm
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: were set. They are deftly mixed with salt and cod.
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: Was meat of many a beast, and boat of kid
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: and porcupine, and hair, and dainties of the sea and air,
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: the rot of gold ablaze with shine of precious stones,
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: were cups of wine. Through court and bower and banquet hall.
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: The banner passed and viewed them all from end to end,
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: in every spot for Citar searched, but found her naught
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: Canto twelve. The search renewed again. The banner chief began
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: its chamber, bower and haul to scan in vain. He
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: found not her. He sought and pondered us in bitter
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: tort ah me. The Matal Queen is slain. She ever
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: drew and free from stain. The fiend's entreaty has denied,
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: and by his crull hand has died, or has she
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: sunk by terror? Killed when first she saw the palace
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: field with female monsters, evil miened, who weigh upon the
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: robber field. No battle fought, nor might displayed. In vain,
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: this anxious search is made, Nor shall my steps made
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: slow by shame because I failed to find the dame.
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: Back to our lord the king be bent, for he
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: is swift to punishment. In every bower my feet have
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: beale the dames of Raban, have I see em? But
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: rama spous I seek in vain, and all my toil
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: is fruitless pain. How shall I meet the banner bend
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: I left upon the ocean Strand how when they bid
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: me speak, proclaim these tidings of the feet and shame?
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: How shall I look on U God's eye? What words
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: will jump upon reply? Yet dauntless hearts will never fail
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: to win success, though foes assail, and I this sorrow
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: will subdue and search the palace true and true, exploring
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: what my cautious tread, each part as yet unvisited. Again
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: he taunt him to explore each chamber, hall and collydor
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: and arbor, bright with scented bloom, and lodge and sell
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: and picture room, with eager eye and noiseless feet. He
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: passed through many a cool retreat where women lay in slumber, drown'd,
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: But citar steel was nowhere found Canto tatim despair and hope. Then,
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: rapid as the lightning's flame, from Raphin's halts, the buner came,
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: each lingering, Hope was cold and dead. And thus within
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: his heart he said, allus, my fruitless search is done.
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: Long have I toiled for Raggu's sun, And yet what
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: all my care have seen no traces of the ravished queam.
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: It may be while the giant true the lone air,
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: with his captive flew the matle lady tender souled slip
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: struggling from the robber's hold, and the while sea is
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: rolling now over Sitar of the beauteous brow. Or did
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: she perish of alarm when circled by the monster's arm,
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: or crushed unable to extend the pressure of that monstrous hand,
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: Or when she spawned his sweet with scorn? Her tender
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: limbs were rent untorn, and she, her virtue, unsubdued, was
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: slaughtered for the giant's food. Shall I to Ragus Suan
• 50:35

  Speaker 1: anguish sorrow worn on hunger too. The blow will fall,
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: killing the hope and joy of all. The ring of
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: their prince and king. The banner's souls with woe will ring,
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: and each overwhelmed with dark despair, will beat his head
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: and rend his hair. Each graced and honored king will
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: miss his careless life with easy bliss in happy troops,
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: will play no more on breegy rock and shady shore,
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: but with his darling wife and child, will see the

  Speaker 1: find I never will meet my barner kind here redder,
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: in some distant dell, a lonely hermit, will I dwell
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: where roots and berries will supply my humble wants until
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: I die, Or on the shore will raise a pyre
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: and perish in the kindled fire. Or I will strictly
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: fast until do it slow decay my life. I kill
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: and revening dogs and birds of air, the limbs of
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: Hanuman shall tear. Here will I die, but never bring
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: destruction on my rays and king. But still unsearched one
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: grove I see, which many a brighter soaka tree there
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: will I enter in, and through the tangled shade my
• 53:43

  Speaker 1: Cantos fourteen to twenty off Book five of the Rabbian

  Speaker 1: box recording is in the public domain. Recording by Urmandu Tree,
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: Canto fourteen, the Shoka Grove. He cleared the barrier at
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: a bound. He stood in the plagiant ground, and with
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: delighted eyes surveyed the climbing plants and varied shade. He
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: saw a number of trees unfold the treasures of their
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: pendant gold. As searching for the Mitel Queen, he strayed
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: through alleys soft and green. On one spray he bent
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: or broke some little bird that slept awoke whenever the
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: breeze of morning blew, wherever its tartled pickuck flew. The
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: gaily colored branches shed their flowery rim upon his head
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: that clung around the burner, till he seemed a blossom
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: covered hill, the art on whose fair bosom lay the
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: flowers that fell from every sprey was glorious as a
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: lovely maid in all her brightest robes arrayed. He saw
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: the breath of morning shake the lilies on the rippling lake,
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: whose waves a pleasant lapping made on crystal steps with
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: its gems inlaid. Then roaming through the enchanted ground, a
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: pleasant heel the burner found, and grottos in the living stone,
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: which grass and flowery trees overgrown through rocks and boughs.
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: A browling rill leapt from the bosom of the hill,
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: like a proud beauty when she flies from her love's arms.
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: With angry eyes, he clumbed a tree that near him grew,
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: and leafy shade around him trill. Hence, thought the banner,
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: Shall I see the utal Dame? If here she be
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: these lovely trees, this cool retreat will surely tempt her
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: wandering feet. Here, the said queen will roam apart and
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: dream of rama in her heart. Count of fifteen Sita
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: fair as Galasha wide with snow, he saw a palace
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: flash and glow, a crystal pavement jam inlaid, and coral
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: steps and colonnade, and glittering towers that kissed the skies,
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: whose dazzling splendor charmed his eyes. There pallid with neglected dress,
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: watched close by fiend and giantess, her sweet face tin
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: with constant flow of tears, with fasting, and with whoe,
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: pale as the young moon's christened Wan, the first fate.
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: Light returns to Man dim as the flame won, clouds
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: of smoke, the latent glory, hide and choke like Rohinny,
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: the queen of Stars, oppressed by the red planet Mars,
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: from her dear friends and husband, Torn amid the cruel
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: fiands forlorn, who fear sied watch around her kept a
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: tender woman sat and wept her sobs, her sighs, her
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: mournful meium, her glory eyes, proclaimed the queen, This, this
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: is she. The barner cried, fair as the moon, and
• 58:07
  Speaker 1: load aside. I saw the giant Robin bear a captive
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: through the fields of air. Such was the beauty of
• 58:16
  Speaker 1: the dame, her form, her lips, her eyes the same.
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: This peerless queen, whom I behold, is Rama's wife with
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: limbs of gold. Best of the sons of Man is he?
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: And wody of our lord is she? Canto sixteen Hanuman's lament.
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: Then all his thoughts on sitar Burn, the barner chieftain
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: made lament, the queen to Rama's soul, entiered by Lutchman's
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: pious heart, revered lies here, for none may strive with
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: fate a captive's and desolate the brothers might full well
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: she knows and bravely bears the storm of woes as
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: swelling Gangha in the rains. The rush of every flood
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: sustains her lord for her fierce barley sleeve without horse,
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: monstrous might overtreew for her. The fourteen thousands slain in
• 59:26
  Speaker 1: Genoston bedewed the plain, And if for her Igshaku's son
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: destroyed the world, it to add nobly done. This This
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: is she so far renowned, who sprang from out the
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: firewed ground, child of the high souled king, whose sway
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: the man of Mittelah obey the glorious lady wode, and
• 59:51
  Speaker 1: won by Desertate's noblest son. Then now these sad eyes
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: look on her mid hostile feet means a prisoner from home,
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 1: and every bliss she fled by wifely love and duty,
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: lead and heedless of a wonderer's woes, a life in
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: lonely forests, chose t This is she so fair, A
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: mold whose limbs are bright as barnish'd gold, whose voice
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: was ever soft and mild, who sweetly spoke and sweetly smiled. Oh,
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: what is Rama's misery? How he longs to see his
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: darling now pining for one of her fond looks, as
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: one a toast for water brooks absorb'd in woe. A
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 1: lady sees no raxious God, no blooming trees. Her eyes
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: are with her. Tolts and day are fixed on Rama
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 1: far away Canto seventeen seitars God, his beating eyes with
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 1: tears bedewed the whipping quim. Again he veered and saw
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 1: around the prisoners tend a demon god, a fearful band,
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 1: some earless, some with ears that hung low as deir
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: feet and loosely swung, some fierce with single ears and eyes,
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 1: some dwarfish, some of monstrous eye, Some with their dark
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 1: necks long and teem, with hair upon the knotty skin,
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 1: some with wild locks, some bald and bare, some covered
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: over with bristly hair, some tall and straight, some bowed
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: and bent with every foul disfigurement, all black and fierce,
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: with eyes of fire, rootless and stern and swift to ire,
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 1: some with jackal's jaw and nose, some faced like boars
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: and buffaloes, some with the heads of goats, and kind
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 1: of elephants and dugs and swine, with lions, lips and
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 1: horses brows. They walked with feet of mules and cows. Swords, maces,
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 1: clubs and spears. They bore in hideous hands that rigged
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 1: with gore, and neighbors seated tawned afresh to bowels of
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 1: wine and piles of flesh. Such were the awful gods
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 1: who stood round Citar in that lovely ood, while in
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 1: her lonely sorrow she wept sadly knit a spreading tree.
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 1: He watched the spous of Rama dair, regardless of her
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 1: tangled hair, her jewels stripped from neck and limp, decked
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 1: only with her love of him can to eighteen rawan.
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 1: While from his shelter in the boughs, the bonner looked
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 1: on Rama's POWs, he hardly gathered giant's rays. The solemn
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 1: hymn of prayer and praise priests skill'd in right and ritual,
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 1: who the bads and their branches kneel then as loud
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 1: strains of music broke his lip. The giant monarch woke
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 1: swift to his heart, the tall triturned of the fair
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: queen for whom he burned. Nor could the amorous fiend
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 1: control the passion that absorbed his soul. In all his
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 1: brightest garb arrayed, he hastened to that lovely shade where
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 1: glowed each choicest flower and fruit, and the sweet birds
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 1: were never mealt and tall deer bent their heads to
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 1: drink on the fair strimlet's grassy brink. Near that a
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 1: shoka grove, he drew a hundred dames his red near
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: like indraut. The thousand eyes got with the beauties of
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 1: the skies. Some walked beside their lord to hold the cherries, fans,
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 1: and lamps of gold, and other's purest water bore in
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 1: golden ORNs and paced before Some carriat piled on golden plates,
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: delicious food of dainty cads. Some wine in massive balls,
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 1: where on the fairest gems resplendent shone. Some by the
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 1: monarch's side, displayed wrought like a swan a silken shade.
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: Another beauty walked behind the scptor to her care, assign'd
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 1: around the monarch claimed the crowd as lightnings flash about
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 1: a cloud, and each made music as she went. With
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 1: joan and tinkling onamount attended us in royal state. The
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: monarch reached the garden gate, while gold and silver torches
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 1: fed with scented oil. A soft light shed he while
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 1: the flame of fierce desire burnt in his eyes like
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 1: kindled fire, seemed love incarnate in his pride. His bow
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 1: and arrows laid aside, his robe from spot and blemish
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 1: free like umbrit foamy from the sea hung down in
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 1: many a loosened fold in, wrought with flowers and bright
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 1: with gold. The banner from his station viewed, amazed the
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 1: wondrous multitude, where in the center of that ring of
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 1: noblest women stood the king as tanns a full moon
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 1: failed to view God by his tary rat. Near Canto nineteen,
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 1: Sita's fear then over the lady's soul and frame. A
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 1: sudden fear and trembling came Whoun, glowing in his youthful pride.
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 1: She saw the monarch by her side. Silent, she said,
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 1: her eyes depressed, her soft arms folded over her breast,
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 1: and all she could her beauty screamed from the bold
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 1: gazes of the field there ware the while she demons
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: kept there watch around. She sighed and wept. Then, like
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 1: a severed bough, she lay prone on the bare art
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 1: in dismay, the while her thoughts on Love's fleet wings
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 1: flew to her lord, the best of kings. She fell
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 1: upon the ground and dare lay struggling with her wild despair,
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 1: sad as a lady born again to misery and woe
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 1: and pain, now doomed to grief and low state. Once
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 1: noble fare and delicate, like faded light of holy law,
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 1: like hope, when all her dreams are over, like ruined
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 1: power and rank debased, like majesty of kings, disgraced, like
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 1: worship foiled by erring slips. The moon that labors in eclipse,
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 1: a pull with all her lilies dead, an army when
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 1: its king has fled. So sad and helpless, warm and warm,
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 1: she lay among the fiends forlorn caunter twenty Raven's wing,
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 1: with amorous look and soft address. The fiend he sweet
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 1: to press. Why wouldst thou, lady eldo'side from my fond glance,
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 1: Those beauties hide mine, eager sweet no more repel, But
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 1: love me, for I love thee. Well, dismiss, sweet Dame,
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 1: dismiss thy fear. No giant and no man is near
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 1: ours is the right by force to seize what damessoever
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 1: our fancy please. But I which rude hands will not
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 1: touch a lady whom I love so much. Fear not,
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 1: dear Queen, No fear is nigh. Come on thy lover's love.
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 1: Relye some little sign of favor show, nor lie animal
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 1: of thy woe. Those limbs upon that cold art laid,
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 1: those dresses twined in single braid. The fast and woe
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 1: that were thy frame beseem not the ye beauteous day,
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 1: For deed, the fairest reeds were meant. The sandal and
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 1: the aloes, scent rich ornaments and pearls of prize and vestire,
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 1: meet for paradise with dainticates search. Thou be fed and
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 1: rest upon a sumptuous bed, and festive joys to thee
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 1: belong the music and the dance and song. Rise, Paul
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 1: of women, rise and deck with gems and chains. Thine
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 1: arms and neck shall not the day my love be seen.
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 1: Investire worthy of a queen. Methinks when thy sweet form
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 1: was made his hand. The wise creator stay'd for never
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 1: more did he design a beauty meet to rival thine.
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 1: Come let us love, while yet we may for you

  Speaker 1: t will fly and charms decay. Come cause thy grief
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 1: and fear aside, and be my love, my chosen bride.
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 1: The gems and jewels that my hand has reft from
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 1: every plundered land to thee. I give them all this day,
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 1: and at thy feet my kingdom lay the broad rich art,
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 1: while I overrun and leave no town unconquer'd, none done
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 1: of the whole. An offering make to Janak dear for
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 1: thy sweet sake. In all the world, no power I
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 1: see of God or man can strive with me. Of
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 1: all the gods and a source set in terrible array,
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 1: I met their scattered hosts to art. I beat and
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 1: trod their flegs beneath my feet. Come taste of bliss,
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 1: and drink thy fail and rule. The slave who serves
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 1: thy wail, think not of wretched drama. He is less
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 1: than nothing now to thee, stripp'd of his glory. Poor Detrond,

  Speaker 1: a wenderer by his friend's disown'd. On the cold art,

  Speaker 1: he lays his head all is with toil and misery dead,
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 1: And if perchance he lingers, yet his eyes on thee
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 1: shall never be set. Could he that mighty monarch who
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 1: was named hidden Nekashipu? Could he who wore the garb
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 1: of gold win glory back from Indra's hold, O, Lady

  Speaker 1: of the lovely smile, whose eyes the stonest heart beguile

  Speaker 1: charm to stay my rama's vengeful arm. Thou, when the
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 1: hero bends his bow, shalt hear the clang that herald's
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 1: woe loud as the clash when clouds are rent and
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 1: he draws bald to art is sent. Then shall his
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 1: furious shafts be spared, each like a snake with fiery head,
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 1: And in deair flight shall hiss and flame marked with
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 1: the mighty archer's name. Then in the fiery deluge, all
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 1: thy giants round their king shall fall Chanto twenty two
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 1: Roman's tread. Then anger swelled in Roman's breast. Who fiercely
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 1: does the dame at rest it is ever does in Vain?
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 1: We soon the woman and her favor wood a lover's
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 1: humble words impel her wayward spirit to rebel. The love
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 1: of thee that feels my soul still keeps my anger
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 1: in control. As Jane tears with bit and rain, the
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 1: swervings of the steed restrain'd, the love that rules me
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 1: beats mispair thy forfeit life, O, thou most fail for
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 1: this O sitter, have I borne the keen reproach, in
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 1: the bitter scorn and the fond love thoubotest yet for
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 1: that poor wandering anchorage. Ell said the words which thou
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 1: hast said brought dead upon thy guilty head. Two months,
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 1: fair Dame, I crun these steel to bend THEE to
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 1: thy lover's will. If, when that rest by time is fled,
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 1: thou still refuse to share my bed, my cooks shall
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 1: mince thy limbs with steel, and serve THEE for my
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 1: morning meal. The minstrel daughters of the skies looked on
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 1: her row with beating eyes and sun bright children of
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 1: the gods consoled the queen with smiles and nods she saw,
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 1: and with her heart at ease, I dressed a fiend
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 1: in words like these, hast thou no friend to love thee?
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 1: None in all desire to bid thee? Shall the ruin
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 1: which thy crime will bring on THEE. And thine, O
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 1: impious king, who in all worlds save THEE, could woo
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 1: me Rama's consort, pure and true, as though he tempted
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 1: with his love, Queen Saichi, honor thrown above. How canst
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 1: thou hope while wretch to fly the vengeance that even
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 1: now is nigh, when thou hast dead, untouch'd by shame,
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 1: to press thy sweet on Rama's dame, where roots are
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 1: tick and grass is high in lion and hair may
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 1: lie my Rama is the lion. Thou art the poor hair,
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 1: bendit the bow. Thou railest at the Lord of man,
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 1: but wilt not stand within his can? What is that
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 1: I unstricken? Yet whose impious glance on me was set
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 1: still moves that tongue that would not spare the wife
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 1: of Deserat's heir ten hissing like a furious snake, the
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 1: fiend again to see THU spake deaf to all prayers
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 1: and treats are dull devoted to thy senseless voile. No
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 1: longer respite will I give and dow this day shalt
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 1: cease to leave for I, as sunlight kills them, an
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 1: will slay thee for thy skaate and scorn. The raxious
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 1: God was summoned. All the monstrous crew obeyed the call
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 1: and hastened to the king to take the orders which
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 1: you fiercely spake. See that ye had God a well
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 1: and tame like some wild thing. The stubborn dame until
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 1: her half the soul be bent by mangled tread and blandishment,
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 1: the monster's heart away his throat and passed within his
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 1: queen's abode. Can to twenty three. The demon's treads then
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 1: round the helpless citar drew with fiery eyes the hideous
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 1: crew and does assailed her all and each with insult,
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 1: taunt and threatening speech. What can it be, thou prightest,
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 1: not this happy chance, this glorious lot, to be the
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 1: chosen wife of one so strong and great pelustious son.
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 1: Polestia does have sages told is mid the lords of
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 1: life enrolled Lord Brahma's mind born son. Was he thought
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 1: of that glorious company Misstavas from Peleestia sprang through all
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 1: the world's his glory rang, and the mistavs Laar's I Dame,
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 1: our king, the mighty Raban came his happy concert. Thou
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 1: mayst be scorn not the words we say to thee.
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 1: One awful, demoned, fiery eyed stood by the matal queen
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 1: and cried, come and be his If thou art wise,
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 1: who smote the sovereign of the skies and made the
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 1: thirty gods and tree overcome infurious battle, flee thy lover
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 1: turns away with scorn from wives whom grace and youth adorn'd.
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 1: Thou art his chosen concert. Thou shalt be his pride
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 1: and darling. Now another becather by name in words like
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 1: these address the dame. The king, whose blows in fury
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 1: dealt the nagas and gandharvas, felt in battle's fiercest branch, subdued,
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 1: has stood by thee and humbly owed and wilt Thou,
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 1: in thy falling miss the glory of a love like
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 1: this Scared by his eye, The sun grows chill, the
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 1: renderer wind is hushed and still, the reins at his
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 1: command descend, and trees which new blown blossoms bend. He
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 1: warned the hosts of demon's fear, and wilt Thou dame
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 1: refuse to hear be counseled with his will, comply, O, lady,
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 1: thou shalt surely die. Canto twenty four Sitar's reply, still,
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 1: which reproaches rough and rude those fields. The gentle queen pursued,
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 1: what can so fare a life displease to dwell with
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 1: him in joyous ease, dwell in his bowers a happy
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 1: queen in silk and gold and jewel. Shame Still must
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 1: thy woman, fancy cling to rama and reject our king,
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 1: die in thy folly. All forget that wretched wandering anchor
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 1: at come sitter in luxurious bowers, spend with our lord,
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 1: thy happy hours, the mighty lord who makes his own
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 1: the treasures of the wolds overtrone. Then, as a tear
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 1: bedewed her eye, the helpless lady made reply, I load
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 1: with hard and soul the teste the shameful life your
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 1: words suggest eyed, if you will this mortal frame, my
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 1: soul rejects the sin and shame, a homeless wonderer, though
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 1: he be in him, My lord, my life I see,
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 1: and till my oddly days be done, will cling to
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 1: great Shako's sun. Then, with fierce eyes on Citar said,
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 1: they cried again with taunt and tread, each leaking with
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 1: her fiery tongue the lip that to her bosom, hung
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 1: and menacing the lady's life with aches or spear or
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 1: modern us knife. Here, Citar and our roads obey or
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 1: perish by our hands to day thy love for Ragu's sun,
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 1: for's sake, and raven for thy husband's take or we
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 1: will rent thy limbs apart, and banquet on thy quivering heart.
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 1: Now from her body, strike the head and tell the
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 1: king that Dame is dead. Then, by our lord's commandment,
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 1: she a banquet for our band shall be come. Let
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 1: the wine be quickly brought, that freeze each heart from
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 1: saddening taught. Then to the western gate repair, and we
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 1: will dance and revel. There can two twenty five sitar's
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 1: lament on the bare art. The lady sank and trembling
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 1: from their presence, shrank like a straight fawn. When night
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 1: is done, and hungry wolves around her bark. Then to
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 1: a shady tree, she crept and tot upon her lord,
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 1: and wept by fear and beater woe oppressed, she bade
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 1: it the beauties of her breast with her hot tear's
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 1: incessant flow, and found no respite from her woe. As
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 1: shakes a plantain in the breeze, she shook and fell
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 1: on trembling knees, while at each demon's furious look, her
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 1: cheek its native heel forsook. She lay and wept and
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 1: made her own in sorrows, saddest undertone and wild with grief,
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 1: with fear, appalled on Rama, and his brother called, Oh,
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 1: dear Caushelia, hear me cry, sweet queen Sumitra, list my
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 1: sigh true is the solve the wise declare death comes
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 1: not to relieve despair. It is vain for dame or
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 1: man to pray that will not hear before his day.
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 1: Since I, from Rama's side, de boat and tortured by
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 1: my cruel God, still live in hopeless woe. To grieve
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 1: and load the life. I may not leave here like
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 1: a poor desarted thing. My limbs upon the ground I flame,
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 1: and like a bark beneath the blast shall sink O
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 1: prayer stood woes at last, Ah, blessed day, supremely blessed,
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 1: whose eyes upon my lord may rest, who mark his
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 1: lion port, and here his gentle speech that charms the year,
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 1: tell us what intenental crime? What traspists are forgotten? Time
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 1: weighs on my soul and bids me bow beneath this
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 1: load of misery Now Canto twenty six, Situr's lament I
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 1: Rama's wife, on that sad day, by Rabhan's arm was
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 1: borne away seiz'd while I sat and fear'd no ill
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 1: by him who wears each form and will I, helpless
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 1: captive left forlorn the demon's treads and taunts and scorn. Here,
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 1: my lord, I weep and sigh, and worn with woe,
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 1: would gladly die for what is life to me? Afar
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 1: from rama of the mighty car The robber, in his
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 1: fruitless sin, would hope his captive's love to win. My
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 1: meaner food shall never touch the demon whom I loath
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 1: so much, The senseless fool he knows me not, nor
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 1: the proud soul his love would blood yell him from limb?
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 1: Will I be rent, but never to his prayer? Consent,
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 1: be burnt and perish in the fire, but never meet
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 1: his base desire. My lord was grateful, true and wise,
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 1: and looked on woe with peating eyes. But now recoiling
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 1: from the strife, he pities not his captive wife. Alone
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 1: in Jenaston, he slew the thousands of the rugious crew.
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 1: His arm was strong, his heart was brave. Why comes
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 1: he not to free and save? Why blame my lord
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 1: in vain surmise. He knows not where his lady lies. Oh,
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 1: if he kneel over land and sea, his feet were
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 1: swift to set me free. This lunkor gdled by the deep,
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 1: would fall consumed a shapeless heap, and from each ruined
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 1: home would rise a ruxious widow's groans and cries and
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 1: of Cantus twenty one to twenty six Canteus twenty seven
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 1: to thirty five of Book five of the Ramayan of Balmiki,
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 1: translated by Ralph to H. Griffith. This livervox recording is
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 1: in the public domain. Recording by O one to three
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 1: Canto twenty seven Tricheta's dream. Their threats unfeared, their councils pawned,
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 1: the demon's breasts with fury burned. Some sought the giant
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 1: king to bear the tale of Sitar's fixed despair with
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 1: threads and tords renewed the rest around. The weeping lady pressed,
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 1: but Trijetta of softer mold, a raxious, matron, wise and
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 1: old with pity for the captive moved in words like these,
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 1: the fiends reproved me me, she cried, eat me, but
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 1: spare the spows of the slat's air. Last night I
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 1: dreamt a dream, and still the fear all my bosom chill,
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 1: For in that dream I saw foreshone our rays by
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 1: Rama's hand overthrown. I saw a chariot high in air
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 1: of ivory, exiting fair a hundred s teach. That chariot
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 1: drew as swiftly through the clouds. It flew and gloated
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 1: in white, which wreaths that shone. The sons of Ragu
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 1: rode thereon. I looked and saw this lady, here, clad
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 1: in the purest white, appear high on the snow white
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 1: hil whose feet the angry waves of ocean beat. And
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 1: she and Rama met at last, like light and sun
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 1: when night is past again. I saw them side by
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 1: side on Raman's car. They seemed to ride, and would
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 1: the Prince de Luxemen flee to northern realms beyond the sea.
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 1: Then Robin shaved and shone bea smeared with oil. From
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 1: head to foot appeared He quaffed, he raved, His robes
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 1: were red, fierce was his eye, and bare his head.
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 1: I saw him from his chariot trust I saw him
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 1: rolling in the dust. A yeoman came and dragged away
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 1: the stricken giant where he lay, And on a car
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 1: which asses drew the monarch of our rays. She threw,
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 1: he rose erect, he danced and laughed where toasted lips
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 1: theou oil he quaffed. Then, with wild eyes and streaming mouth,
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 1: spat on the chariot to the south, then dropping oil
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 1: from every limb his sons. The princess followed him, and
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 1: Kumbacan shaved and shorn was southward on a camel born.
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 1: Then Royal Lanka reeled and fell, with gate and tower
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 1: and citadel. This ancient city, far renowned, all life within
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 1: her walls was drowned, and the wild waves of ocean
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 1: rolled over Lanka and her streets of gold. Worn by
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 1: these signs, I bid you fly, or by the hand
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 1: of Rama, die whose vengeance will not spare the life
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 1: of one who vexed his faithful wife, your beater tons
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 1: and treats. Forego, confort the lady in her woe, and
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 1: humbly pray hard to forgive for so you may be
• 1:31:52
  Speaker 1: spared and leave. I omit the twenty eighth and twenty
• 1:31:59
  Speaker 1: nine Cantos as an unmisticable interpolation. Instead of advancing the story,
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 1: it goes back to Cantu twenty seven, containing a lamentation
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 1: of Sta of the Ramon has left her and describes
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 1: the auspecious signs sent to cheer her the trapping of
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 1: her left eye, arm, and side. The canto is found
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 1: in the Bangal recension. Gorricio translates it and observes, I
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 1: think that chapter twenty eight The Auspecious Science is an
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 1: addition and later interpolation by the rhapsodists. It adds no
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 1: bond of connection either with what precedes or follows it,
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 1: and may be struck out not only without injurity, but
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 1: positively to the advantage of the poem. The meter in
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 1: which this chapter is written differs from that which is
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 1: generally adopted in the course of the poem. Canto thirty
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 1: Numan's deliberation, the barner watch'd conceal'd each word of Citar
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 1: and the fiends he had, and in the mage of
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 1: anxious thought, his quick conceiving bosom wrought at length. My
• 1:33:14
  Speaker 1: watchful eyes have seen pursued so long the Mtal Queen
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 1: sought by our barner hosts in Vain, from east to west,
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 1: from Maine to Maine. A cautious pie have I explored
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 1: the palace of the raksious Lord, and thoroughly loaned conceal'd
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 1: from sight the giant monarch's power admired, And now my
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 1: task must be to cheer the royal dame who sorrows here.
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 1: For if I go and suit her not a captive
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 1: in this distant spart, she, when she finds no comfort nigh,
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 1: will sink beneath her woes and die. How shall my tale,
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 1: if consoled I leave her be to drama told? How
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 1: shall I answer Ragu's son No message from my darling
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 1: none The husband's read to feery fend will scorch me
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 1: lifeless where I stand. Or if I urge my Lord
• 1:34:21
  Speaker 1: the King to Lunga's isle his hosts to bring in
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 1: vain will be his jail. In vain, the toil, the danger,
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 1: and the pain. Yea this occasion, must I cease that
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 1: from her God the lady phrase to win her year
• 1:34:39
  Speaker 1: with soft address and whisper hope in dire distress, Shall
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 1: I a puny bonner choose the sanscrit man delight to use. If,
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 1: as a man of Brahman kind, I speak the tongue
• 1:34:53
  Speaker 1: by rules refined, the lady, yielding to half fears, will
• 1:34:58
  Speaker 1: think it is Rabah's voice. She hears, I must assume
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 1: my only plan the language of a common man. Yet,
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 1: if the lady sees me nigh in terror, she will
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 1: start and cry, and all the demon band alarmed, will
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 1: come with various weapons, armed which their wild shouts. The
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 1: grove will fail and strive to take me all to kill,
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 1: and that my death or capture dies the hope of
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 1: Rama's enterprise, For none can leap save only me, a
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 1: hundred leagues across the sea. It is a sin in
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 1: me I own to talk with Janak's child alone. Yet
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 1: Greta is the sin. If I be silent and the
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 1: lady die first, I will utter Rama's name and Lord
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 1: the hero's gifts and fame, purchaans the name Aim she
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 1: holds so dear, will soothe the faithful lady's fear. Canto
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 1: thirty one Duman's speech. Then, in sweet accents, low and mild,
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 1: the banner spoke to Janok's child. A noble king by
• 1:36:20
  Speaker 1: sin unstained, the mighty Deserat reigned, lord of the warrior's
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 1: car and steed, the pride of old Ikshaku's seed, a

  Speaker 1: faithful friend, a blameless king, protector of each living thing,
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 1: a glorious monarch, strong to save, blessed to the bliss,
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 1: he freely gave his son the best of all who
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 1: know the science of the banded bow. Was Moon bright, Rama,
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 1: brave and strong, who loved the right and loaded the wrong,
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 1: who never from kingly duties, swere loved by the lens.
• 1:37:02
  Speaker 1: His might preserved his feet the path of law, pursued
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 1: his arm. Rebellious foes subdued his sire's command. The prince
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 1: obeate and banished, sought the forest shade, where with his
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 1: wife and brother he wnder'd a saintly devote. There As
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 1: he roamed the wilds, he slew the bravest of the
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 1: raksious crew, the giant king. The prince beguiled and stole
• 1:37:34
  Speaker 1: his consort, Janok's child. Then Rama robed the country round,
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 1: and the foreign friend Sugriva, found lord of the Barnar Race,
• 1:37:44
  Speaker 1: expelled from his own realm, which Bali held. He conquered
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 1: Bali and restored the kingdom to the rightful lord. Then,
• 1:37:55
  Speaker 1: by Sugriva's high degree, the banner legions searched for thee.
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 1: Some party's counsel bade me leap a hundred leagues across
• 1:38:05
  Speaker 1: the deep. And now my happy eyes have seen at
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 1: last the long sought meteal Queen. Such was the form
• 1:38:14
  Speaker 1: the eye the grace of her, whom Rama bade me trace.
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 1: He ceased her flowing locks. She drew to shield her
• 1:38:25
  Speaker 1: from a stranger's view. Then, trembling in her wild surprise,
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 1: raised to the tree her anxious eyes Canto thirty two
• 1:38:37
  Speaker 1: setursed out her eyes. The metal lady raised and on
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 1: the monkey speaker gazed. She looked, and, trembling at the sight,
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 1: wept bitter tears in wild affright. She shrank a whild
• 1:38:55
  Speaker 1: with fear. Distraught, then nord again, the lady taught his
• 1:39:00
  Speaker 1: dis dream. Mine eyes have seen this creature by our
• 1:39:05
  Speaker 1: laws unclean. Oh, may the gods keep Rama still and
• 1:39:10
  Speaker 1: luckshmen and my sire from ill. It is no dream.
• 1:39:14
  Speaker 1: I have not slept, but travel on, have watch'd and
• 1:39:18
  Speaker 1: wept afar from the dear Lord of mine, for whom,
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 1: in ceaseless woe I pine. No art may soothe my
• 1:39:27
  Speaker 1: wild distress or allow me to forgetfulness. I see but him.
• 1:39:33
  Speaker 1: My lips can frame no syllable but Rama's name. Each
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 1: side I see, each sound I hear brings Rama to
• 1:39:43
  Speaker 1: mine eye or ear. The wish was in my heart
• 1:39:46
  Speaker 1: and hands, The sweet illusion marked my sense. It was
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 1: but a phantom of the mind, and yet the voice
• 1:39:55
  Speaker 1: was soft and kind. Be glory to the eternal sire,
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 1: Be glory to the Lord of Fire. The mighty teacher
• 1:40:04
  Speaker 1: in disguise and indrawed his thousand eyes and made they
• 1:40:08
  Speaker 1: grant the truth to be even as the words that
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 1: startled me Canto thirty tree the Kolachi down from the tree,
• 1:40:22
  Speaker 1: Hanuman came and humbly stood before the dame. Then, joining
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 1: Reverend Palm to Palm, addressed her doirs with words of balm.
• 1:40:34
  Speaker 1: Why should the tears of sorrow rise, sweet lady, to
• 1:40:37
  Speaker 1: those lovely eyes, as when the wind swept the river
• 1:40:42
  Speaker 1: floods two have expanded Lota's birds. Who art thou almost
• 1:40:48
  Speaker 1: fair of face of user or celestial race? Did Nagamada
• 1:40:54
  Speaker 1: gave the bird? For sheare Thou art no child of art?
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 1: The us claim that heavenly form or the swift gods
• 1:41:03
  Speaker 1: who ride the storm? Or art thou rhiny the blessed
• 1:41:08
  Speaker 1: that star more lovely than the rest reft from the moon.
• 1:41:13
  Speaker 1: Thou lovestwell and doomed the while on art to dwell.
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 1: Or canst thou fairest wonder be? The starry queen Aruntati
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 1: fled in thy ret or jealous pride from her dear
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 1: lord persist her side. Who is the husband, father's son
• 1:41:33
  Speaker 1: or brother? O thou, loveliest one, gone from this world
• 1:41:38
  Speaker 1: in heaven to dwell for whom those eyes with weeping swell.
• 1:41:43
  Speaker 1: Yet by the tears those sweet eyes shed, Yet by
• 1:41:47
  Speaker 1: the art that bears thy tread by calling on a
• 1:41:51
  Speaker 1: monarch's name, no goddess, by the royal dame, art Thou
• 1:41:56
  Speaker 1: the queen fair lady, say whom Raphen stole and bore away?
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 1: Yea by that agony of woe, that form unrivaled here
• 1:42:07
  Speaker 1: below that votive garb thou art I win King Janak's
• 1:42:12
  Speaker 1: child and Rama's queen hope at the name of Rama woke,
• 1:42:19
  Speaker 1: And thus the gentle lady spoke, I am dead citar
• 1:42:25
  Speaker 1: Wood and won by Desiret's royal son, the noblest of
• 1:42:29
  Speaker 1: the Shaku's line, and every ardly joy was mine. But
• 1:42:35
  Speaker 1: Rama left his royal home in Dunduk, stangled wilds to Rome,
• 1:42:40
  Speaker 1: where with Sumitra's son and me he lived a saintly devote.
• 1:42:46
  Speaker 1: The giant Raman came with Kail and bore me dance
• 1:42:50
  Speaker 1: to Lanka's isle some respite yet the fiend alaos two
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 1: months of life to Rama's powers, two moons of hopeless
• 1:43:01
  Speaker 1: woe remain, and then the captive will be slain. Canto
• 1:43:08
  Speaker 1: thirty four. Hunuman's speech Thus spoke the Dame in mournful mood,
• 1:43:15
  Speaker 1: and Hanuman his speech renewed, O Lady, by thy Lord's decree,
• 1:43:22
  Speaker 1: I come a messenger to thee. Thy Lord is safe
• 1:43:26
  Speaker 1: with stead first friends, and greeting to his queen, his
• 1:43:30
  Speaker 1: sense and Lutchmen, ever faithful bows his reverend head to
• 1:43:36
  Speaker 1: Rama's POWs. Through all her frame, the rapture ran, as

  Speaker 1: does again the Dame began now verily the truth I
• 1:43:47
  Speaker 1: know of the wise saw of long ago, once only

  Speaker 1: in a hundred years, through joy to living man appears.
• 1:43:58
  Speaker 1: He marked her rapture, being in here and nearer to
• 1:44:01
  Speaker 1: the lady drew. But at each onward step he took
• 1:44:06
  Speaker 1: suspicious fear. Her spirit shook alas alas she cried in fear.
• 1:44:14
  Speaker 1: False is the tale I joyed to hear. It is Roben.
• 1:44:17
  Speaker 1: It is the fiend who tries to mock me with
• 1:44:21
  Speaker 1: a new disguise. If thou to wring my woman's heart,
• 1:44:26
  Speaker 1: hast changed thy shape by magic art and would'st a
• 1:44:30
  Speaker 1: helpless dame beguile. The wicked deed is doubly vile. But
• 1:44:35
  Speaker 1: now that fiend, thou canst not be such joy I
• 1:44:39
  Speaker 1: had from seeing thee. But if my fancy does not err,
• 1:44:44
  Speaker 1: and thou art Rama's messenger, the glories of my lord repeat.
• 1:44:49
  Speaker 1: For to these ears such words are sweet. The bonner
• 1:44:55
  Speaker 1: knew the lady's start and gave the answer fondly salt,
• 1:45:00
  Speaker 1: bright as the sun that lights the sky, dear as
• 1:45:03
  Speaker 1: the moon to every eye. He scatter's blessings over the land,
• 1:45:08
  Speaker 1: like bounties from by Chauvan's hand, like Mishnu, strong and unsubdued,
• 1:45:14
  Speaker 1: unmatched in might and fortitude, wise truthful as the lord
• 1:45:19
  Speaker 1: of speech, with gentle words, he welcomes each of noblest
• 1:45:25
  Speaker 1: mold and form. Is he like Love's incarnate deity. He
• 1:45:30
  Speaker 1: quells the fury of the foe and strikes when justice
• 1:45:34
  Speaker 1: prompts the blow. Safe in the shadow of his arm,
• 1:45:39
  Speaker 1: the wall is kept from skate and harm. Now soon
• 1:45:44
  Speaker 1: shall Rabin rue his theft and fall of realm and
• 1:45:48
  Speaker 1: life bereft, for Rama's wrathful hand shall wing He shafts

  Speaker 1: against the giant king, the day, you may tell Quane

• 1:46:36
  Speaker 1: the great lord she loved so well, and in sweet accents,
• 1:46:41
  Speaker 1: soft and low, spoke half forgetful of our woe. How
• 1:46:47
  Speaker 1: didst thou stand by Rama's side? How came my lord
• 1:46:50
  Speaker 1: and thou alive? How met the people of the ood

• 1:48:05
  Speaker 1: his own, and Dee his brother, ever form and true.
• 1:48:11
  Speaker 1: Over all the land they roamed distraught and de with
• 1:48:15
  Speaker 1: vain endeavor salt, until at length their wandering feet trod
• 1:48:21
  Speaker 1: wearily on our wild retreat. Our banished King Sugriva spied
• 1:48:27
  Speaker 1: the princess from the mountainside. By his command, I sought
• 1:48:32
  Speaker 1: the pair and led them to our monarch. There Thus
• 1:48:37
  Speaker 1: Rama and Sugriva met and joined the bonds that need them. Yet,
• 1:48:42
  Speaker 1: when eats besought the other's aid and friendship and alliance,
• 1:48:47
  Speaker 1: made an arrow launched from Rama's bow, laid Bali dead,
• 1:48:53
  Speaker 1: Sagriva's foe. Then, by commandment of our Lord, the banner
• 1:48:58
  Speaker 1: hosts each land explored, we reached the coast. I crossed
• 1:49:03
  Speaker 1: the sea and found my way at length to day
• 1:49:10
  Speaker 1: and of Cantos twenty seven to thirty five Cantos Tatis
• 1:49:21
  Speaker 1: six to forty one of book five of the Rabaian
• 1:49:24
  Speaker 1: of Balmiki, translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith. This Lirivox
• 1:49:30
  Speaker 1: recording is in the public domain. Recording by Oh want
• 1:49:34
  Speaker 1: to tree, Canto Tati six, Rama's ring receive, he cried,
• 1:49:43
  Speaker 1: this precious ring, she alltoken from thy lord the king,
• 1:49:49
  Speaker 1: the golden ring he wont to wear. See Rama's name
• 1:49:53
  Speaker 1: and greven day. Then as she took the ring, he
• 1:49:57
  Speaker 1: showed the tears that spring rapture flowed. She seemed to
• 1:50:03
  Speaker 1: touch the hand dead scent, the dearly valued ornament, and
• 1:50:08
  Speaker 1: do it a heart again at ease, replied in gentle
• 1:50:11
  Speaker 1: words like these, O thou, whose soul no fears, detire wise,
• 1:50:18
  Speaker 1: brave and faithful messenger, And hast thou dead over wave
• 1:50:24
  Speaker 1: and foam to seek me in the Giant's home. Indeed,
• 1:50:29
  Speaker 1: true Messenger, I find the noblest of thy woodland kind,
• 1:50:35
  Speaker 1: who coursed, unmoved by terror, broke and raman king of
• 1:50:39
  Speaker 1: fiends to look now, may we commune here as friends.
• 1:50:45
  Speaker 1: For he whom Royal Rama sends must needs be one
• 1:50:49
  Speaker 1: in danger, tried a valiant, wise and faithful guide. Say,
• 1:50:54
  Speaker 1: is it well which Rama still lives Luxhman yet untouch'd
• 1:50:58
  Speaker 1: by ill? Then why should Rama's hand be slow to
• 1:51:03
  Speaker 1: free his concert from her woe? Why spare to burn
• 1:51:08
  Speaker 1: in search of me the land encircled by the sea.
• 1:51:13
  Speaker 1: Can Varath send no army out with banners cause and
• 1:51:16
  Speaker 1: battle shout? Cannot Thy King's grievous land his legions to
• 1:51:22
  Speaker 1: assist his friend. His hands upon his head he laid,
• 1:51:29
  Speaker 1: And thus again his answer made. Not yet as Rama
• 1:51:34
  Speaker 1: a long to allies his lady of the Lodu's eyes,
• 1:51:38
  Speaker 1: or he like Indra from the sky to such his
• 1:51:42
  Speaker 1: aid to thee would fly. Soon will he hear the
• 1:51:47
  Speaker 1: tale and then ruse to revenge? The lord of Man
• 1:51:52
  Speaker 1: will to the giant's island, lead fierce myriads of the
• 1:51:55
  Speaker 1: woodland breed, bridging his conquering way, and may the town
• 1:52:01
  Speaker 1: a ruin for Thy's sake. Believe my words with Dame,
• 1:52:06
  Speaker 1: I swear by roots and fruit my woodland fair by
• 1:52:11
  Speaker 1: Maru speak, and Binta's chain and wunder of the milky man,
• 1:52:17
  Speaker 1: soon shalt thou see, thy lord, though now he waits
• 1:52:21
  Speaker 1: upon Pressurevn's brow come glorious as the breaking morn, like
• 1:52:26
  Speaker 1: intra on a rabat born for thee. He looks with
• 1:52:31
  Speaker 1: longing eyes, Thou ood his county. Food supplies for thee.
• 1:52:36
  Speaker 1: His brow is pale and worm for thee, are meat
• 1:52:40
  Speaker 1: and wine for sworn thine a mage in his heart
• 1:52:44
  Speaker 1: he keeps for thee. By night he wakes and weeps,
• 1:52:49
  Speaker 1: or if perchance his eyes he close and win brief
• 1:52:53
  Speaker 1: respite from his woes. Even then the name of Citar
• 1:52:57
  Speaker 1: slips in anguish from his murmuring lips. If lovely flowers
• 1:53:03
  Speaker 1: of fruit he sees, which women love upon the trees
• 1:53:08
  Speaker 1: to die to thee his fancy flies, and sita o,
• 1:53:13
  Speaker 1: my love, he cries, Canto thirty seventh Sitar speech. Thou
• 1:53:23
  Speaker 1: bringest me, She cried again, I mingle, brout of bliss
• 1:53:27
  Speaker 1: and pain. Bless that he wears me in his heart,
• 1:53:32
  Speaker 1: pain that he wakes and weeps apart. Oh see how
• 1:53:37
  Speaker 1: faith is king of all now lifts us high, now
• 1:53:41
  Speaker 1: bids us fall, and lets a captive bound with cold,
• 1:53:46
  Speaker 1: the meanest slave, the proudest lord does even now fate
• 1:53:51
  Speaker 1: stunt decree has struck with grief. My lord and me say,
• 1:53:58
  Speaker 1: how shall Drama reach the shore of Sorrow's waves that
• 1:54:02
  Speaker 1: rise and roar, a shipwrecked sailor well nigh drowned, and
• 1:54:08
  Speaker 1: the wild sea that foams around? When will he smite
• 1:54:12
  Speaker 1: the demon down? Lay low in dust, the Giant's town
• 1:54:18
  Speaker 1: and glorious from his foes, defeat his wife, his long
• 1:54:22
  Speaker 1: lost sitar meet go bid him speed to smite his
• 1:54:28
  Speaker 1: foes before the year shall reach its close. Ten months
• 1:54:33
  Speaker 1: of lead, but two remain. Then Rabin's captive must be slain.
• 1:54:39
  Speaker 1: After his bevision just and wise besought him to restore
• 1:54:43
  Speaker 1: the prize. But death is Ravan's senseless year. His brothers
• 1:54:49
  Speaker 1: read he will not hear Bevisient's daughter loves me well
• 1:54:54
  Speaker 1: from how I learnt the tale I tell a winter prudent,
• 1:54:59
  Speaker 1: just and old. The Giant's fall has oft foretold, but
• 1:55:05
  Speaker 1: fate impels him to despise his ward, on whom he
• 1:55:09
  Speaker 1: most realies. In Drama's love, I rest secure, for my
• 1:55:15
  Speaker 1: fond heart is true and pure, and him my noblest lord.
• 1:55:19
  Speaker 1: I deem in valor, power and might supreme, as from
• 1:55:26
  Speaker 1: her eyes the waters run the banner. Chief again began,
• 1:55:32
  Speaker 1: yea Rama, when he hears my tale, will with our
• 1:55:37
  Speaker 1: hosts these walls assail. Or I myself will queen this day,
• 1:55:43
  Speaker 1: will bear THEE from the fiend away, will lift thee
• 1:55:47
  Speaker 1: up and take thee hands to him they refuse and defense.
• 1:55:53
  Speaker 1: Will take THEE in my arms and flee to Rama
• 1:55:56
  Speaker 1: far beyond the sea, will place thee on Prasavan Hill.
• 1:56:01
  Speaker 1: While Ragu's sun is waiting still, How canst thou bear me? Hence,
• 1:56:07
  Speaker 1: she cried, thou way is long, the sea is wide
• 1:56:11
  Speaker 1: to bear my very weight. It be a task too
• 1:56:15
  Speaker 1: hard for one like thee swift rose before hostartled eyes
• 1:56:21
  Speaker 1: the barner in his native size, like Munder's hill or
• 1:56:25
  Speaker 1: Marou's hide, encircle that a blaze of light. Oh come,
• 1:56:30
  Speaker 1: he cried, thou, fear'st dispel no doubt that I will
• 1:56:35
  Speaker 1: bear THEE. Well, Come in my strength and care, confide
• 1:56:39
  Speaker 1: and sit in joy by Rama's side. Again, she spake,
• 1:56:46
  Speaker 1: I know THEE now brave, resolute and strong. Art thou
• 1:56:50
  Speaker 1: in glory, like the Lord of fire, with storm swift
• 1:56:54
  Speaker 1: feet which naught may tire. But yet with THEE I
• 1:56:59
  Speaker 1: may not fly far borne so swiftly through the sky,
• 1:57:03
  Speaker 1: mine eyes would soon grow faint and dim. My daisy
• 1:57:07
  Speaker 1: brain would reel and swim. My yielding arms relaxed their hold,
• 1:57:12
  Speaker 1: and I, in terror, uncontrolled, should fall into the raising sea,
• 1:57:17
  Speaker 1: where hungry sharks would feed on me. Nor can I
• 1:57:21
  Speaker 1: touch of free ac colt the limbs of any save
• 1:57:26
  Speaker 1: my lord, If by the giant forced away in his
• 1:57:30
  Speaker 1: unfolding arms, I lay not mine. No banner was to blame.
• 1:57:35
  Speaker 1: What could I do? A helpless dame go to my
• 1:57:40
  Speaker 1: lord my message bare and bid him end my long despair.
• 1:57:47
  Speaker 1: Cant O, tardy eight, see does jem again? The bonner
• 1:57:53
  Speaker 1: chief replied, O. It's her wise answer satisfied. While hast
• 1:57:59
  Speaker 1: thou said, thou canst not brave their rushing wind, the
• 1:58:03
  Speaker 1: roaring wave. Thy woman's heart would sink with fear before
• 1:58:08
  Speaker 1: the ocean shore were near, And for thy dread lest
• 1:58:13
  Speaker 1: limb of thine should for a while be touch'd by mine.
• 1:58:18
  Speaker 1: The modest fear is worthy one whose cherish lord is
• 1:58:22
  Speaker 1: Raggle's son. Yet when I sought to bear the hands,
• 1:58:27
  Speaker 1: I spoke the words of innocence, impelled to set the
• 1:58:31
  Speaker 1: captive free by friendship. For thy Lord and thee. But
• 1:58:37
  Speaker 1: if it me thou wouldt not try the passage of
• 1:58:40
  Speaker 1: the windy sky. Give me a gem, that I may show,
• 1:58:45
  Speaker 1: some token which thy Lord may know. Again, the madle
• 1:58:51
  Speaker 1: lady spoke, while tears and sobs. Her utterance broke. The
• 1:58:57
  Speaker 1: sourest science of all science is this to tell the
• 1:59:01
  Speaker 1: tale of vanished bliss. Thus in my name to Rama speak.
• 1:59:07
  Speaker 1: Remember Chidrakuda's peak, and the green margin of the rill
• 1:59:12
  Speaker 1: that flows beside that pleageant hill, where thou and eye
• 1:59:16
  Speaker 1: together straight the lighting in the tangled shade. There on
• 1:59:22
  Speaker 1: the grass, I sat with thee and laid my hand
• 1:59:25
  Speaker 1: upon thy knee. There came a greedy crow and pecked
• 1:59:30
  Speaker 1: the meat I waited to protect, And heedless of the clouds,
• 1:59:34
  Speaker 1: I threw about my head in circles flew until by
• 1:59:40
  Speaker 1: darling hunger pressed, he boldly packed me on the breast.
• 1:59:45
  Speaker 1: I ran to thee in raise and grief, and prayed
• 1:59:49
  Speaker 1: for vengeance on the teeth. Then Rama, from his slumber,
• 1:59:53
  Speaker 1: rose and smiled with pity at my woes. Upon my
• 1:59:58
  Speaker 1: bleeding breast. He saw the scratches made by big and cow.
• 2:00:03
  Speaker 1: He laid an arrow on his bow and launched it
• 2:00:07
  Speaker 1: at the shameless crow. That shaft with magic power endeed
• 2:00:12
  Speaker 1: the bird wherever he flew, pursued till backed Rago's sun.
• 2:00:17
  Speaker 1: He fled and bent at Rama's feet, his head goutstown
• 2:00:24
  Speaker 1: for me. With anger steered, launched the dire shaft upon
• 2:00:28
  Speaker 1: a bird. And yet count pardon him who's told the
• 2:00:32
  Speaker 1: darling of thy heart and soul, Rise up, o bravest
• 2:00:37
  Speaker 1: of the brave, and come in all thy might to save.
• 2:00:42
  Speaker 1: Come with the thunders of thy bow and smite to
• 2:00:46
  Speaker 1: art the raxious foe. She ceased, and from her glorious
• 2:00:52
  Speaker 1: hair she took a gem that sparkled. There I token
• 2:00:57
  Speaker 1: with her husband's eyes, would eager love would recognize his
• 2:01:03
  Speaker 1: head the banner and boy bent in low obeysiance, reverent,
• 2:01:08
  Speaker 1: and on his finger, bound to gem, she loosened from
• 2:01:11
  Speaker 1: her diadem i omit two cantos of dialect. Sita tells
• 2:01:18
  Speaker 1: Numan again to convey her message to Rama and bid
• 2:01:21
  Speaker 1: him hasten to rescue her. Hanuman replies, as before that
• 2:01:25
  Speaker 1: there is no one on Art equal to Rama, who
• 2:01:28
  Speaker 1: will soon come and destroy Raban. There is not a
• 2:01:32
  Speaker 1: new idea in the two cantos, or is Readoration Canto
• 2:01:39
  Speaker 1: forty one. The win of the grove dismissed every owner,
• 2:01:46
  Speaker 1: deal the banner from this part with treer. Then, joyous
• 2:01:51
  Speaker 1: thought the wind God's son, the mighty Tusk, is well
• 2:01:54
  Speaker 1: nigh done the tree expedients. I must leave the fort alone.
• 2:02:00
  Speaker 1: I achieve these dwellers in the giant's aile. No arts
• 2:02:04
  Speaker 1: of mine can reconcile. I cannot bribe, I cannot sow
• 2:02:09
  Speaker 1: dissension mid the raxious foe arts gifts address these fiends despise,
• 2:02:17
  Speaker 1: but force shall yet their king chestires perchance he may
• 2:02:22
  Speaker 1: relent when all the bravest of his chieftains fall this
• 2:02:28
  Speaker 1: lovely grove. Will I destroy the cruel rovern's pride and
• 2:02:32
  Speaker 1: joy the garden where he takes his ears mid climbing
• 2:02:37
  Speaker 1: plants and flowery trees that lift their proud tops to
• 2:02:42
  Speaker 1: the skies, dear to the tyrent as his eyes. Then
• 2:02:47
  Speaker 1: will he rouse in red and lead his legions suit
• 2:02:50
  Speaker 1: the car and stead and elephants in long array, and
• 2:02:54
  Speaker 1: seek me? Thirsty for the fray, the rauxious legions will
• 2:02:59
  Speaker 1: I meet, and all his bravest host defeat. Then, glorious
• 2:03:05
  Speaker 1: from the bloody plain turned to my Lord the King again.
• 2:03:12
  Speaker 1: Then every lovely tree that bore fair blossoms from the
• 2:03:16
  Speaker 1: soil he tore, till each green bough that landed shade
• 2:03:21
  Speaker 1: the singing birds on outs was laid the wilderness he
• 2:03:26
  Speaker 1: left the waste. The fountain shattered and defaced, overdrew and
• 2:03:32
  Speaker 1: leveled to the ground, its shady seat and pledgure mound,
• 2:03:37
  Speaker 1: each arbor clad with climbing bloom, its grotto cell and
• 2:03:41
  Speaker 1: picture room, each lawn by beast and board enjoyed, each
• 2:03:47
  Speaker 1: walk and terrace was destroyed, and all the place that
• 2:03:51
  Speaker 1: was so fair was left a rum, wild and bare,
• 2:03:56
  Speaker 1: as if the fury of the blast are raising fire
• 2:04:00
  Speaker 1: had over eight passed. And of Cantos tart six to
• 2:04:07
  Speaker 1: forty one Cantos forty two to forty six of Book
• 2:04:17
  Speaker 1: five of the Ramayan of Balmiki, translated by Ralph to H. Griffith.
• 2:04:23
  Speaker 1: This LibriVox recording is in the public domain. Recording by O.
• 2:04:27
  Speaker 1: Wander Tree, Canto forty two. The giants roused the cries
• 2:04:35
  Speaker 1: of startled birds. The sound after all trees crashing to
• 2:04:39
  Speaker 1: the ground, struck with a maide each giant's ear, and
• 2:04:44
  Speaker 1: filled the isle with sudden fear then wakened by the crash,
• 2:04:49
  Speaker 1: and cries the fear she fiends unclosed their eyes and
• 2:04:54
  Speaker 1: saw the banner where he stood amid the devasted ood.
• 2:04:59
  Speaker 1: The Maudus care them with the view to size immense.
• 2:05:02
  Speaker 1: The bonner grew and straight the raxious waters. Cried Janok's daughter, terrified.
• 2:05:09
  Speaker 1: Whose envoy? Whence? And who is he? Why has he
• 2:05:12
  Speaker 1: come to talk with thee? Speak, lady of the lovely eyes,
• 2:05:16
  Speaker 1: And let not fear thy joy disguise? Then thus replied
• 2:05:23
  Speaker 1: the metal name of noble soul and perfect frame. Can
• 2:05:28
  Speaker 1: I discern with scanty skill these fiends who change their
• 2:05:32
  Speaker 1: forms at will? It is yours to say, your kind,
• 2:05:36
  Speaker 1: you meet a serpent knows a serpent's feet. I wit
• 2:05:41
  Speaker 1: not who is he? The sight has filled my spirit
• 2:05:44
  Speaker 1: with affright. Some pressed round Citar in a ring. Some
• 2:05:50
  Speaker 1: bore the story to their king. A mighty creature of
• 2:05:54
  Speaker 1: our race, in monkey form has reached the place he
• 2:05:58
  Speaker 1: came within the grove, they cried. He stood and talked
• 2:06:02
  Speaker 1: by Sitar's side. He comes from Indra's court to her.
• 2:06:06
  Speaker 1: Or is Kuvedra's messenger? Or Ram has sent the spy
• 2:06:10
  Speaker 1: to seek his consort and her wrongs to reek, his
• 2:06:15
  Speaker 1: crushing arm, his trampling feet have marred and spoilt that
• 2:06:19
  Speaker 1: dear retreat, And all the pleasant place which now so lovest,
• 2:06:24
  Speaker 1: is a ruen. Now the tree where Sita sat alone
• 2:06:28
  Speaker 1: is spared, where all are overthrown. Perchance he saved the
• 2:06:33
  Speaker 1: dame from harm. Perchance the toil had numbed his arm.
• 2:06:38
  Speaker 1: Then flashed the giant's eye with fire like that which
• 2:06:43
  Speaker 1: lights the funeral pyre. He bade his bravest kinker speed,
• 2:06:47
  Speaker 1: and to his feet the spoiler lead fought from the
• 2:06:52
  Speaker 1: palace at his hest. Twice forty thousand warriors pressed bonning
• 2:06:58
  Speaker 1: for battle, strong and fierce, with clubs to crush and
• 2:07:02
  Speaker 1: swords to peers. They saw Hanuman near a posh and
• 2:07:07
  Speaker 1: thick as moths around the torch. Rushed on the foe
• 2:07:10
  Speaker 1: with wilder tanks of maize and club and battle eggs
• 2:07:16
  Speaker 1: as round, impress'd a raxious crowd. The wondrous monkey roared
• 2:07:21
  Speaker 1: aloud that birds fell headlong from the sky. Then spake
• 2:07:26
  Speaker 1: he with a mighty cry, Long life to deserlate's air
• 2:07:31
  Speaker 1: and Lutschman ever glorious pair, Long life to him who
• 2:07:35
  Speaker 1: rules our rays. Preserv'd by noblest Rama's grays. I am
• 2:07:41
  Speaker 1: the slave of cosial skin, whose wondrous deeds. The minstrels, saying, Hanuman,
• 2:07:47
  Speaker 1: I the wind god seeth benet disarm the foreman bleed.
• 2:07:52
  Speaker 1: I fear not unapproached in might. A thousand raverns ranged
• 2:07:56
  Speaker 1: for fight, although in furious hands they rear the hill
• 2:08:01
  Speaker 1: and tree for sworden spear. I wailed before the giant's
• 2:08:05
  Speaker 1: eyes their city and their king chestis, And having communed
• 2:08:11
  Speaker 1: the Dame, departed in triumph. As I came at that
• 2:08:17
  Speaker 1: terrific roar and yelled the heart of every giant fell.
• 2:08:21
  Speaker 1: But still their king's command, they feared and pressed around
• 2:08:25
  Speaker 1: with arms uppriared. Beside the porsche, a club was laid.
• 2:08:30
  Speaker 1: The barner caught it up and swayed the weapon round
• 2:08:34
  Speaker 1: his head and slew the foremost of the rackxious crew.
• 2:08:39
  Speaker 1: The Zindra vanquished. Thousand died the details who the gods defied.
• 2:08:45
  Speaker 1: Then on the Porschhnuman sprang, and loud he shout of
• 2:08:49
  Speaker 1: triumph rang. The giants looked upon the dead, and, turning
• 2:08:55
  Speaker 1: to their monarch, fled, and Raban with his spirit wrought
• 2:08:59
  Speaker 1: to frenzy by the tail. They brought owes to the fight,
• 2:09:03
  Speaker 1: brahised as son of all his chiefs, the mightiest one
• 2:09:10
  Speaker 1: Canto forty three. The ruin of the temple, the wind
• 2:09:16
  Speaker 1: God's son, a temple scaled, which by his fury unassailed
• 2:09:21
  Speaker 1: high as the hill of Maru, stood amid the ruins
• 2:09:24
  Speaker 1: of the ood, And in his fury tundered out again
• 2:09:29
  Speaker 1: his haughty battle, shout, I am the slave of cocial skin,
• 2:09:34
  Speaker 1: whose wondrous deeds to minstrels singing, fought hurried by the child,
• 2:09:40
  Speaker 1: alarmed the warders of the temple, armed with every weapon
• 2:09:45
  Speaker 1: haste supplied, and closed them in on every side with
• 2:09:50
  Speaker 1: bands that strove to pierce and strike with shafts and eggs,
• 2:09:54
  Speaker 1: and club and pike. Then from its base the barner
• 2:09:58
  Speaker 1: tore a pillar with the weight it bore against the
• 2:10:02
  Speaker 1: wall the mass he dashed and fought. The flames in
• 2:10:06
  Speaker 1: answer flashed that wildly ran over roofs and wall in
• 2:10:11
  Speaker 1: hungry rays, consuming all. He whirled the pillar round his
• 2:10:16
  Speaker 1: head and struck a hundred giants dead. Then high upheld
• 2:10:21
  Speaker 1: on air, he rose and called in thunder to his foes,
• 2:10:26
  Speaker 1: a thousand barner chiefs like me roam at their will
• 2:10:30
  Speaker 1: over land and sea terrific mine do you all possess
• 2:10:34
  Speaker 1: our stormy speed is limitless and all unconquered in the
• 2:10:39
  Speaker 1: fray our king's grievous word obey, backed by his bravest myriads,
• 2:10:45
  Speaker 1: he our warrior lord, will cross the sea. Then Lunka's
• 2:10:50
  Speaker 1: lofty towers, and all your hosts and round self shall fall.
• 2:10:56
  Speaker 1: None shall be left unslaughtered, none who braves the rat
• 2:11:00
  Speaker 1: of Ragu's son Canto forty four, Jambomli is dead. Then
• 2:11:09
  Speaker 1: Jambomali pride and boast for valor of the raksious host.
• 2:11:14
  Speaker 1: Prahousta's son, supremely brave obeyed the hest that Raban gave.
• 2:11:20
  Speaker 1: Fierce warrior with terrific teeth, with saguine robes and brilliant wath,
• 2:11:26
  Speaker 1: a bowl like in razone, and store of glittering shafts.
• 2:11:30
  Speaker 1: The chieftain bore and ever as the string he tried
• 2:11:34
  Speaker 1: the weapon with a roar, replied loud does the crashing
• 2:11:39
  Speaker 1: thunderscent by him who ruled the farmament. Soon as the
• 2:11:45
  Speaker 1: foreman came in view borne on a car which as
• 2:11:49
  Speaker 1: is drear, the barnard chieftain mighty voiced, shouted in triumph,
• 2:11:54
  Speaker 1: and rejoiced Prahasta's son. His bowstring drew and swathed. The
• 2:11:59
  Speaker 1: winged arrows flew one in the face, the barner smote
• 2:12:04
  Speaker 1: another quivered in his throat. Ten from the deadly weapon scent.
• 2:12:09
  Speaker 1: His brawny arms and shoulders rent Then as he felt
• 2:12:14
  Speaker 1: each galling shot, the barner's rays waxed fiercely hot. He
• 2:12:19
  Speaker 1: looked and saw a mass of stone that lay before
• 2:12:23
  Speaker 1: his feet. Overthrown the mighty block he raised and threw, then,
• 2:12:28
  Speaker 1: crashing through the air. It flewed, but Jambo Mali shunned
• 2:12:32
  Speaker 1: the blow and rained fresh arrows from his bow. The
• 2:12:37
  Speaker 1: barner's limbs were red with gore, a sultry from the
• 2:12:41
  Speaker 1: art he tore and the air he haled. It undismayed
• 2:12:45
  Speaker 1: above his head. The missile swayed, but shafts from jumbo
• 2:12:50
  Speaker 1: Mali's bow cut through it. Ere his hand could troll
• 2:12:55
  Speaker 1: and tie an arm, and chest and side with streams
• 2:12:58
  Speaker 1: of rushing blood, were d still unsubdued, though wounded. Aft
• 2:13:04
  Speaker 1: the shadowed trunk, he raised aloft and down, with well
• 2:13:08
  Speaker 1: directed aim on Jambomali's chest. It came there, crushed upon
• 2:13:14
  Speaker 1: the trampled grass, he lay an undistinguished mass. The foreman's
• 2:13:19
  Speaker 1: eye no more could see his head, or chest, or arm,
• 2:13:23
  Speaker 1: or knee, and bow, and car, and steeds and store
• 2:13:27
  Speaker 1: of glittering shafts were seen no more. When Jambumali is dead,
• 2:13:32
  Speaker 1: he had king Robin's heart with rays, was teered and
• 2:13:37
  Speaker 1: fought his general sons. He sent for power and might
• 2:13:42
  Speaker 1: pre eminent Canto forty five. The seven defeated fourth went
• 2:13:52
  Speaker 1: seven in brave attire, in glory, brilliant as the fire,
• 2:13:56
  Speaker 1: impetuous chiefs with massive bows, the dwellers of a host
• 2:14:01
  Speaker 1: of foes, trained from their youth in martial law, and
• 2:14:05
  Speaker 1: masters of the arms, they bore each a mulus and
• 2:14:09
  Speaker 1: fiercely bowled, and banners roared with glittering gold waved over
• 2:14:14
  Speaker 1: their chariots, drawn at speed by coursers of the noblest
• 2:14:18
  Speaker 1: breed on through the ruins of the grove at Honumann
• 2:14:23
  Speaker 1: they fiercely drove, and from the ponderous bows they strained.
• 2:14:28
  Speaker 1: A shower of deadly arrows reigned. Then scores was seen,
• 2:14:33
  Speaker 1: the barner's form enveloped in the arrowy storm, so stands
• 2:14:38
  Speaker 1: how veiled the mountain's king when rainy clouds about him
• 2:14:42
  Speaker 1: clean by nimbleton by rapid bound he shunned the shafts
• 2:14:48
  Speaker 1: that reigned around, eluding as in air, he rose the
• 2:14:52
  Speaker 1: rushing chariots of his foes. The mighty banner undismayed amid
• 2:14:58
  Speaker 1: his archer foremen plain as placed a frolic wind on
• 2:15:02
  Speaker 1: high mid bow, armed clouds that filled the sky. He
• 2:15:07
  Speaker 1: raised a mighty roar and yelled that fear on all
• 2:15:10
  Speaker 1: the army fell, And then his warrior soul, a glow
• 2:15:15
  Speaker 1: with fury, rushed upon the foe. Some with his open
• 2:15:19
  Speaker 1: hand he beat to dead and trampled with his feet,
• 2:15:23
  Speaker 1: some with fierce nails he rent and slew, and others
• 2:15:27
  Speaker 1: with his fists over treer, some with his legs as
• 2:15:31
  Speaker 1: on he rushed, Some with his bulky chest he crushed,
• 2:15:36
  Speaker 1: while some, struck senseless by his roar, dropped on the
• 2:15:39
  Speaker 1: ground and breathed no more. The remnant seized with sudden dread,
• 2:15:45
  Speaker 1: torn from the grove, and wildly fled. The trampled art
• 2:15:50
  Speaker 1: was thickly strown with steeth and car and flag overthrown,
• 2:15:55
  Speaker 1: and the red blood in rivers flowed from slaughtered fiends
• 2:15:59
  Speaker 1: over paths and rode Canto forty six the captains man
• 2:16:08
  Speaker 1: with the rays of injured pride. King Rabin summoned to
• 2:16:11
  Speaker 1: his side the valiant five who led his host supreme
• 2:16:16
  Speaker 1: in war and honored most. Go forth, He cried, with
• 2:16:21
  Speaker 1: ka and steed, and to my feet this monkey lead.
• 2:16:25
  Speaker 1: But watch each chance of time and place to seize
• 2:16:29
  Speaker 1: this sting of silver rays. For from his wondrous exploits
• 2:16:33
  Speaker 1: he no monkey of the ooths can be, but some
• 2:16:37
  Speaker 1: new kind of creature meant to walk us woe by
• 2:16:40
  Speaker 1: Indra's scent, Condervas Nagas and the best of Yaksha's have
• 2:16:45
  Speaker 1: our might confessed? Have we not challenged and subdued the
• 2:16:50
  Speaker 1: whole celestial multitude? Yet we live not if you are
• 2:16:54
  Speaker 1: wise a chief of monkey rays despise, For I myself
• 2:16:59
  Speaker 1: have balley known, and King Sugriva's power I owned. But
• 2:17:04
  Speaker 1: none of all their woodland trunk was half so terrible
• 2:17:08
  Speaker 1: and strong. Obedient to the words he spake, they hasn't
• 2:17:13
  Speaker 1: fought the foe to take swift where the cars whereon
• 2:17:17
  Speaker 1: they rode, Then bright their weapons flashed and glowed. They
• 2:17:23
  Speaker 1: saw they chosed in wild carrier with sword and mace,
• 2:17:26
  Speaker 1: and eggs and spear. From Dudar's bow fire varrows sped
• 2:17:32
  Speaker 1: and quivered in the barner's head. He rose and roared.
• 2:17:36
  Speaker 1: The fearful sound made all the region echo round. Then
• 2:17:42
  Speaker 1: from above his weight he drew on Dudar's scar that
• 2:17:45
  Speaker 1: near him. Drew the weight that came with lightning speed,
• 2:17:50
  Speaker 1: crushed pole and axle, car and steed. It shattered Uther's
• 2:17:55
  Speaker 1: head and neck and left him lifeless. Made the wreck
• 2:17:59
  Speaker 1: you boxes saw the warrior die, and Birrupaksha hoard his cry,
• 2:18:04
  Speaker 1: and mad for vengeance for the slain, they chose their
• 2:18:09
  Speaker 1: barner foe. Again, he rose in air. They onward pressed
• 2:18:14
  Speaker 1: and fiercely smote him on the breast in vain. They
• 2:18:18
  Speaker 1: struck his iron frame with eagle soup to art. He
• 2:18:22
  Speaker 1: came tall from the ground, a tree that grew beside
• 2:18:27
  Speaker 1: him and the demon's sleeve. Then Vashkama raised his spear
• 2:18:32
  Speaker 1: and praghass with a laugh, drew near and maddened at
• 2:18:36
  Speaker 1: the sight that too, against the undaunted banner flew as
• 2:18:41
  Speaker 1: from his wounds the torrents flowed like a red sun.
• 2:18:45
  Speaker 1: The banner showed. He turned a mountain peak to seize
• 2:18:50
  Speaker 1: with all its beasts and snakes and trees. He hurled
• 2:18:54
  Speaker 1: it on the pear, and they crushed overwhelmed beneath it.
• 2:18:58
  Speaker 1: Lay and of Cantus forty two to forty six Cantos

  Speaker 1: He rode upon a glorious car that shot the light

  Speaker 1: from heart rose long and shrill. The wind was hushed,

  Speaker 1: the sun grew chill. The thunder bellowed from the sky,

  Speaker 1: and troubled ocean roared reply trice. Aksha strained his dreadful bow,
• 2:20:47
  Speaker 1: tri smelled his arrow on the foe, and with full
• 2:20:51
  Speaker 1: streams of crimson blood, three gashes in the barner's head.
• 2:20:56
  Speaker 1: Then rose Honuman in the air to shun the shep afts.
• 2:21:00
  Speaker 1: No life could bear, but Aksha in his car pursued,
• 2:21:05
  Speaker 1: and from on high the fight renewed with storm of
• 2:21:09
  Speaker 1: arrows thick as hail. When angry clouds some hill, a sail.
• 2:21:15
  Speaker 1: Impatient of the darroy shower, the bonner chief put forth
• 2:21:19
  Speaker 1: his power again above his chariot, rose and smote him
• 2:21:24
  Speaker 1: with repeated blows. Terrific came each deadly stroke, breast, neck
• 2:21:30
  Speaker 1: and arm and back. He broke, and Akshah fell to
• 2:21:35
  Speaker 1: art and lay, which all his life blood drained away.
• 2:21:43
  Speaker 1: Canto forty eight. Hanuman captured to intrigit the bold and brave,
• 2:21:51
  Speaker 1: the giant King. His mandate gave Oh trained in warlick science,
• 2:21:56
  Speaker 1: best in arms of all our mightiest whose valor in
• 2:22:01
  Speaker 1: the conflict shone to users and the gods, is known.
• 2:22:06
  Speaker 1: The kinkers whom I sent are slain, and Jambumali and
• 2:22:10
  Speaker 1: his train, the lords who let our giant bends have
• 2:22:14
  Speaker 1: fallen by the monkey's hands, which shattered cause the ground
• 2:22:19
  Speaker 1: is spread and acshall eyes amid the dead. Thou art
• 2:22:24
  Speaker 1: my best and bravest, go unmatched in power, and slay
• 2:22:28
  Speaker 1: the foe. He held the hest. He bent his head
• 2:22:34
  Speaker 1: a toast for battle, fought his bed four tiger's fears
• 2:22:39
  Speaker 1: of tawny hue with fearful teeth. His chariot drew honuman heart.
• 2:22:47
  Speaker 1: His strong bow clank, and swiftly from the art he sprang.
• 2:22:52
  Speaker 1: While weak and ineffective fell the archer shafts. Thou pointed well,
• 2:22:58
  Speaker 1: the raktious saw that naught what might kill the wondrous foe,
• 2:23:02
  Speaker 1: who mocked his skill, and launched a magic shaft to
• 2:23:06
  Speaker 1: throw a binding spell about his foe. Ford flew the shaft.
• 2:23:12
  Speaker 1: The mystic charm stained his swift feet and numbed his
• 2:23:17
  Speaker 1: arm through all his frame. He felt the spell, and
• 2:23:22
  Speaker 1: motionless to art, he fell. Nor would the Reverend Bonner
• 2:23:27
  Speaker 1: loose the bonds that bound him as a news. He
• 2:23:32
  Speaker 1: knew that Brahmar's self had charmed the weapon that his
• 2:23:36
  Speaker 1: might disarmed. They saw him helpless on the ground, and
• 2:23:41
  Speaker 1: all the giants pressed around, and bonds of hemp and
• 2:23:46
  Speaker 1: bark were cast about his limbs. To hold him fast,
• 2:23:51
  Speaker 1: they drew the ropes round feet and wrists. They bit
• 2:23:56
  Speaker 1: him with their hands and fists, and dragged him as
• 2:23:59
  Speaker 1: they strained the cord, with shouts of triumph to their lord.
• 2:24:07
  Speaker 1: Canto forty nine, rowan on the fierce king Hanuman turned
• 2:24:14
  Speaker 1: his angry eyes that glowed and burned. He saw him
• 2:24:19
  Speaker 1: deck too twelt untold of diamond and pearl and gold,
• 2:24:24
  Speaker 1: and priceless was each wondrous gem that sparkled in his diadem.
• 2:24:30
  Speaker 1: About his neck reached chains were twined, the best that
• 2:24:35
  Speaker 1: fancy ever designed, and the fair robe with pearls be
• 2:24:39
  Speaker 1: strung down from his mighty shoulders. Hung ten heads. He
• 2:24:46
  Speaker 1: reared as Munder's hill lifts oudi peaks which tigers fell.
• 2:24:52
  Speaker 1: Bride were his eyes and bride beneath the flashes of
• 2:24:57
  Speaker 1: his awful teeth. His drawny arms of wondrous size were
• 2:25:02
  Speaker 1: decked with rings and scented ties. His hands like snakes
• 2:25:08
  Speaker 1: with five long heads descending from their mountain beds. He
• 2:25:13
  Speaker 1: sat upon a crystal throne, inlaid with wealth of precious stone,
• 2:25:19
  Speaker 1: whereon of noblest work was set a gold embroidered coverlet.
• 2:25:26
  Speaker 1: Behind the monarch stood the best of beauteous women, gaily dressed,
• 2:25:31
  Speaker 1: and each giant master fanned or waved a chawdy in
• 2:25:36
  Speaker 1: her hand. Four noble courtiers, wise and good in council.
• 2:25:42
  Speaker 1: Near the monarch stood as the four oceans ever stand
• 2:25:47
  Speaker 1: about the sea encompassed land still, though his heart with
• 2:25:53
  Speaker 1: rays was fired, The barner marbled, then admired, Oh, what
• 2:25:58
  Speaker 1: a rare and wonderings sight, what beauty, majesty admn All
• 2:26:04
  Speaker 1: regal pomp combines to grace this ruler of the rakxious rays.
• 2:26:11
  Speaker 1: He if is corn not right and law might guide
• 2:26:15
  Speaker 1: the world, would tempered all yeah Indra, and the goulds
• 2:26:20
  Speaker 1: on high might on his saving power rely Canto fifty
• 2:26:27
  Speaker 1: Prohosta's questions, then fears the giant's fury blazed as on
• 2:26:35
  Speaker 1: Hanuman's form. He gazed and shaken by each wild surmise.
• 2:26:41
  Speaker 1: He spake aloud with flashing eyes. Can this be Nundy
• 2:26:46
  Speaker 1: standing here? The mighty one whom all Revere, who once
• 2:26:51
  Speaker 1: on high Kalasha's hill pronounced the cause that haunts mess tale,

  Speaker 1: thy Fier's decree. And hear the words I speak to
• 2:32:57
  Speaker 1: thee King's wise and noble never condemned to death. The
• 2:33:03
  Speaker 1: envoys said to them such deed the world's contempt, withdraw
• 2:33:08
  Speaker 1: on him who breaks the enzient law. Observe the mian
• 2:33:13
  Speaker 1: where justice lies, then spare his life. But still chestires.
• 2:33:20
  Speaker 1: Then thought the tyrant's fury broke, and does in angry words.
• 2:33:25
  Speaker 1: He spoke, o hero, when the wicked bleed. No sin
• 2:33:31
  Speaker 1: or shame attends the deed. The bonner's blood must needs
• 2:33:36
  Speaker 1: be spilt, the penalty of heinou's guilt. Again the vision
• 2:33:42
  Speaker 1: made reply, Nay, hear me, for he must not die.
• 2:33:47
  Speaker 1: He had the great law. The wise declare thy, Foemen's envoy,
• 2:33:51
  Speaker 1: thou shalt spare. It is true he comes an open foe.
• 2:33:56
  Speaker 1: It is true his hands have wrought us woe. But
• 2:34:00
  Speaker 1: law allows thee if thou wealth, a punishment to suit
• 2:34:04
  Speaker 1: the guilt, the mark of shame, the scorch, the briend,
• 2:34:09
  Speaker 1: the shaven head, the wounded hand. Yea where the barner
• 2:34:13
  Speaker 1: and voice lain, where king of giants were, the gain
• 2:34:18
  Speaker 1: on them alone, on them who sent the message, be
• 2:34:22
  Speaker 1: the punishment for spakey well, or spake he ill he
• 2:34:27
  Speaker 1: spake obedient to their will? And if he perish, who
• 2:34:32
  Speaker 1: can bear thy challenge To the royal pair who crossed
• 2:34:37
  Speaker 1: the ocean and inside thy death. Doomed enemies to fight
• 2:34:44
  Speaker 1: can do fifty three the punishment. King Robin, by his pleading,
• 2:34:51
  Speaker 1: moved the counsel of the Chief approved. Thy woulds are
• 2:34:56
  Speaker 1: wise and true. To kill an envoy would be seen
• 2:35:00
  Speaker 1: him as ill, Yet must do if for his crime,
• 2:35:03
  Speaker 1: invent some fitting mode of punishment. The tail, I fancy
• 2:35:08
  Speaker 1: is the part most cherished by a monkey's heart. Make
• 2:35:13
  Speaker 1: ready set his tail a flame, and let him leave
• 2:35:17
  Speaker 1: us as he came, and thus disfigured and disgraced, back
• 2:35:22
  Speaker 1: to his king. And people haste the giant's heart. Their
• 2:35:28
  Speaker 1: monarch speech and field with burning theory. Each broad strips
• 2:35:34
  Speaker 1: of cotton cloth and round the monkey's tail, the bandage
• 2:35:38
  Speaker 1: wound as round his tail. The band's day drew his
• 2:35:43
  Speaker 1: mighty form. Diletting grew vance does the flame that bursts
• 2:35:49
  Speaker 1: on high where trees are old and grass is dry.
• 2:35:53
  Speaker 1: Each bandoned strip day soaked in oil, and set on fire.
• 2:35:57
  Speaker 1: The twisted coil lighted. As they viewed the blaze, the
• 2:36:02
  Speaker 1: cruel demon stood at gaze, and mid loud drums and
• 2:36:07
  Speaker 1: shells rang out the triumph of their joyful shout. They
• 2:36:12
  Speaker 1: pressed about him, thick and fast as through the crowded
• 2:36:16
  Speaker 1: streets he passed, observing with attentive care each rich and
• 2:36:22
  Speaker 1: wondrous structured day, still heedless of the eager cry that
• 2:36:27
  Speaker 1: ran the air the spie. The spy some to the
• 2:36:32
  Speaker 1: captive lady ran, and thus in joyous words began that
• 2:36:38
  Speaker 1: copper visaged monkey, He who in the garden talked at
• 2:36:43
  Speaker 1: Dia through Lancastown is led ashore, and round his tail
• 2:36:48
  Speaker 1: the red flames glow the mournful kneels. The lady heard that,
• 2:36:54
  Speaker 1: with fresh grief her bosom steered swift to the kindled fire.
• 2:36:59
  Speaker 1: She and prayed before it, reverent, if I, my husband,
• 2:37:05
  Speaker 1: have obeyed and kept the actic vows I made free,
• 2:37:09
  Speaker 1: ever free from stain and blot, oh spayed banner harm
• 2:37:14
  Speaker 1: him gnawed, then leapt on high the flickering flame, and
• 2:37:21
  Speaker 1: shone in answer to the dame. The pitting fire its
• 2:37:25
  Speaker 1: rays forbore. The banner felt the heat no more then
• 2:37:31
  Speaker 1: to minutest size, reduced the bonds that bound his limbs.
• 2:37:35
  Speaker 1: He loosed and freed from every bound and chain, rose
• 2:37:40
  Speaker 1: to his native size again. He seized a club of
• 2:37:44
  Speaker 1: ponderous weight that lay before him by the gate, rushed
• 2:37:48
  Speaker 1: at the fiends that hemmed him round and laid them
• 2:37:52
  Speaker 1: lifeless on the ground. Through Lancast town again he strode
• 2:37:57
  Speaker 1: and viewed each street and square, and rode still readed
• 2:38:02
  Speaker 1: about with it harmless blaze a sun and garlanded, or
• 2:38:06
  Speaker 1: it rays Canto fifty four, The barning of Lunka, What
• 2:38:15
  Speaker 1: farther deed remains to do? To Vex, the rustious king,
• 2:38:18
  Speaker 1: and near the beauty of his grove is marred, killed
• 2:38:22
  Speaker 1: at the bravest of his god. The captains of his
• 2:38:26
  Speaker 1: host are slain, But forts and palaces remain. Swift is
• 2:38:31
  Speaker 1: the walk, and light the toil each fortress of the
• 2:38:35
  Speaker 1: foe to spoil, reflecting does his tail ablaze as to
• 2:38:41
  Speaker 1: the cloud red lightning plays. He scaled the palaces and
• 2:38:45
  Speaker 1: spread the conflagration where he spared from house to house
• 2:38:51
  Speaker 1: He hurried on, and the wild flames behind him shorn.
• 2:38:56
  Speaker 1: Each mansion of the foe he scaled, and furious fire
• 2:39:00
  Speaker 1: its roof assailed, till all the common ruin shared. The
• 2:39:05
  Speaker 1: Vision's house alone was spared from blazing pile to pile.
• 2:39:11
  Speaker 1: He sprang and led his shout of triumph rang as
• 2:39:16
  Speaker 1: roars the dooms decloud, when all the walls in dissolution
• 2:39:20
  Speaker 1: fall the friendly wind conspired to fame the hungry flames
• 2:39:25
  Speaker 1: that leapt and ran, and spreading in their fury, caught
• 2:39:30
  Speaker 1: the gilded walls with parls in wrought, till each broud
• 2:39:35
  Speaker 1: palace reeled and fell as falls a heavenly citadel. Loud
• 2:39:41
  Speaker 1: was the wrought the demons raised mid the walls that split,
• 2:39:46
  Speaker 1: and beams that blazed, as each with vain endeavors strove
• 2:39:51
  Speaker 1: to stay the flames in house a grove, the women
• 2:39:55
  Speaker 1: with disheveled hair flocked to the roofs in wild despair,
• 2:40:01
  Speaker 1: shrieked out for succor, wept aloud and fell like lightning
• 2:40:06
  Speaker 1: from a cloud. He saw the flames ascend and carl
• 2:40:10
  Speaker 1: round the Turkey's diamond and pearl, while silver floods and
• 2:40:14
  Speaker 1: molten gold from ruined wall and ladies rolled as fire
• 2:40:20
  Speaker 1: grows fiercer as he feeds on ood and grass and
• 2:40:24
  Speaker 1: crackling reeds. Soa Hanuman the Ruin eyed with fury, still
• 2:40:29
  Speaker 1: unsatisfied Canto fifty five fear for Sitar, But other thoughts
• 2:40:38
  Speaker 1: resumed their sway. One Lunka's town in ruin lay, and
• 2:40:44
  Speaker 1: as his bosom felt their weight. He stood awhile to meditate.
• 2:40:50
  Speaker 1: What have I done? He taught with shame, destroyed the
• 2:40:55
  Speaker 1: town with hostile flame. O happy day? Whose farm can
• 2:41:00
  Speaker 1: troll checks the wild passion of the soul, who on
• 2:41:04
  Speaker 1: the fires of anger troll the cooling drops that checked
• 2:41:08
  Speaker 1: their glow? But woe is me whom rat could lead
• 2:41:13
  Speaker 1: to do this senseless, shameless deed the town to fire
• 2:41:18
  Speaker 1: and death. I gave no thought of her. I came
• 2:41:21
  Speaker 1: to save, doomed by my own rash folly, doomed to
• 2:41:27
  Speaker 1: perish in the flames, conjumed if I, when anger drove
• 2:41:32
  Speaker 1: me wild, have caused the death of Janok's child, The
• 2:41:36
  Speaker 1: kindled flame shall end my woe, All the deep fires
• 2:41:40
  Speaker 1: that bound below, all my forsaken cause shall be food
• 2:41:45
  Speaker 1: for the monsters of the sea. How can I meet Segrieva?
• 2:41:50
  Speaker 1: How before the royal brothers bowed I whose rash deed
• 2:41:55
  Speaker 1: has madly foiled the noble walk in which we toiled?
• 2:42:00
  Speaker 1: Or has her own bright virtue shed its guardian influence
• 2:42:05
  Speaker 1: round her head? She lives untouched. The peerless dame Flame
• 2:42:11
  Speaker 1: has no fury for the flame. The very fire would
• 2:42:15
  Speaker 1: never consent to harm a queen so excellent, the high soul,
• 2:42:20
  Speaker 1: Drama's faithful wife, protected by her holy life. She lives,
• 2:42:26
  Speaker 1: She lives. Why should I fear for one whom ragous
• 2:42:30
  Speaker 1: sons hold deer has not the peating fire that's pared
• 2:42:35
  Speaker 1: the banner for the lady cared? Such were his thoughts.
• 2:42:41
  Speaker 1: He pondered long, and fear grew faint, and hope grew strong.
• 2:42:47
  Speaker 1: Then round him heavenly voices rang and sweetly tuned his braises, saying, Oh,
• 2:42:55
  Speaker 1: glorious is the exploit done by Hanuman, the wind God's son.
• 2:43:01
  Speaker 1: The flames over Lanka's city rise. The Giant's home in
• 2:43:05
  Speaker 1: rum lies over roof and wall. The fires have spread,
• 2:43:10
  Speaker 1: nor harm the hair of Citar's head cant of fifty
• 2:43:16
  Speaker 1: six Mount Arishta. He looks upon the barning waist, then
• 2:43:22
  Speaker 1: sought the queen in joyous haste, with words of hope,
• 2:43:27
  Speaker 1: consoled her heart and made him ready to depart. He
• 2:43:32
  Speaker 1: scaled a rister's glorious deep, whose summits beetled over the deep.
• 2:43:38
  Speaker 1: The earths in varied beauty, dressed hung like a garland
• 2:43:42
  Speaker 1: round his crest, the clouds of ever changing hire a
• 2:43:47
  Speaker 1: robe about his shoulders. Trear on him. The rays of
• 2:43:52
  Speaker 1: morning fell to wake the hill they loved so well,
• 2:43:56
  Speaker 1: and bid unclose. Those splendid eyes glittered in his mineral dyes.
• 2:44:03
  Speaker 1: He woke to hear the music made by thunders of
• 2:44:07
  Speaker 1: the white Cascade. While every laughing rill that sprang from
• 2:44:12
  Speaker 1: crag to crag, its carols sang for arms. He lifted
• 2:44:16
  Speaker 1: to the stars his towering stems of deodas, and morning
• 2:44:22
  Speaker 1: heard his pealing call in tumbling brook and waterfall. He
• 2:44:27
  Speaker 1: trembled when his oots were pale and bowed beneath the
• 2:44:31
  Speaker 1: autumn gale, and when his vocal reeds were steered, his
• 2:44:36
  Speaker 1: melancholy moan was hauled far down against the mountain's feet.
• 2:44:42
  Speaker 1: The barner hord the wild wave's beat then turned his
• 2:44:46
  Speaker 1: glances to the north, sprang from the peak, and bounded fold.
• 2:44:52
  Speaker 1: The mountain felt a fearful shock and trembled through his
• 2:44:56
  Speaker 1: mass of rock. The tallest trees were crossush and ranned
• 2:45:01
  Speaker 1: and headlong to the valley sand. And as the rockings
• 2:45:05
  Speaker 1: shook each cave, loud was the roar the lion's cave fought.
• 2:45:11
  Speaker 1: From the shaken cavern came fierce serpents with their tongues aflame,
• 2:45:17
  Speaker 1: and every yaksha wild with dread and kindner and Ganderva
• 2:45:22
  Speaker 1: fled and of Countess fifty one to fifty six Cantos
• 2:45:35
  Speaker 1: fifty seven to sixty six of Book five of the
• 2:45:39
  Speaker 1: Ramayan of Balmiki, translated by Ralph to each Griffith. This
• 2:45:45
  Speaker 1: Lirivox recording is in the public domain. Recording by Omwandu
• 2:45:49
  Speaker 1: three Canto fifty seven. Hanuman's return. Still like a winged mountain,
• 2:45:58
  Speaker 1: he sprang forward through the airy sea, and, rushing through
• 2:46:03
  Speaker 1: the eater, drew the clouds to follow. As he flew
• 2:46:08
  Speaker 1: through the great host around him spread gray, golden, dark
• 2:46:12
  Speaker 1: and white and red, now in a sable cloud, immersed
• 2:46:16
  Speaker 1: now from its gloomy prawl. He burst like the bright
• 2:46:20
  Speaker 1: lord of stars, concealed a moment, and again revealed. So
• 2:46:27
  Speaker 1: Navo passed. He neared the coast, where waited till the
• 2:46:31
  Speaker 1: banner host. They hold a rushing in disguise, and lifted
• 2:46:36
  Speaker 1: up their wandering eyes his wild, triumphant shout. They knew
• 2:46:42
  Speaker 1: that louder steel and louder grew, and jumper one with
• 2:46:46
  Speaker 1: eager voice, called on the burners to rejoice. Look he
• 2:46:52
  Speaker 1: returns the wind, God's sun, and full success his toils
• 2:46:56
  Speaker 1: have won. Triumphant is the shout that comes like music
• 2:47:01
  Speaker 1: of a thousand drums. Up sprang the banners from the ground,
• 2:47:07
  Speaker 1: and listened to the wondrous sound of hartling arm and tire.
• 2:47:12
  Speaker 1: As true the reason of the air. He flew loud
• 2:47:16
  Speaker 1: as the wind. When tempests drave rose in the prison
• 2:47:21
  Speaker 1: of the cave, from crag to crag, from height to height,
• 2:47:26
  Speaker 1: they bounded in their mad delight. And when he touched
• 2:47:30
  Speaker 1: the mountains crest, which Reverend welcomed round him pressed They
• 2:47:36
  Speaker 1: brought him of their woodland fruits. They brought him of
• 2:47:39
  Speaker 1: their choicest roots, and loved and shouted in their glee,
• 2:47:44
  Speaker 1: the noblest of their chiefs to sea, nor Hanuman the
• 2:47:48
  Speaker 1: light to greet, say to Jumboban with reverence, meat to hunger,
• 2:47:54
  Speaker 1: and the chiefs he bent for age and rank pre eminent,
• 2:47:59
  Speaker 1: and briefly spent. These eyes have seen the lips have
• 2:48:03
  Speaker 1: addressed Themtal Queen. They sat beneath the waving trees, and
• 2:48:09
  Speaker 1: unguard spoke in words like these, O noblest of the
• 2:48:13
  Speaker 1: barner kind, for valor, power and might combine to de
• 2:48:19
  Speaker 1: triumphant over the foe, our hopes, our lives, and all
• 2:48:23
  Speaker 1: we owe O faithful heart in peril stride which toil
• 2:48:28
  Speaker 1: nor fear could torn. Aside that deeed the lady will restore,
• 2:48:33
  Speaker 1: and Drama's heart will ache no more. Cant of fifty
• 2:48:38
  Speaker 1: eight the feast of honey. They rose in air. The
• 2:48:44
  Speaker 1: regian grew dark with their shadow. As they flew swift
• 2:48:50
  Speaker 1: to a lovely growth. They came their rivaled heavenly Nundon's fame,
• 2:48:56
  Speaker 1: where countless bees, their honeys thought the pleasure of the
• 2:49:00
  Speaker 1: Barner's lord to every creature fenced and burnt, which Dadimuk
• 2:49:06
  Speaker 1: was said to God, a noble banner, brave and bold.
• 2:49:11
  Speaker 1: So Grivo's uncle, lofty sould two hungered came with one
• 2:49:16
  Speaker 1: accord the banners, and besought their lord that they those
• 2:49:21
  Speaker 1: honeyed stores might eat that made their groves so passing sweet.
• 2:49:27
  Speaker 1: He gave consent. They sought the trees, trunked innumerable bees,
• 2:49:34
  Speaker 1: They rifled all the treased's tall and ate the fruit
• 2:49:38
  Speaker 1: the branches bore. And still as they prolonged the feast,
• 2:49:42
  Speaker 1: their merriment and joy increased, Drunk with the sweets, they
• 2:49:47
  Speaker 1: danced and bowed, They wildly sang, they loved aloud. Some
• 2:49:52
  Speaker 1: climbed and sprang from tree to tree. Some sat and
• 2:49:55
  Speaker 1: chattered in their glee. Some scaled the trees, which creeper
• 2:50:00
  Speaker 1: crowned and rained the branches to the ground. There with
• 2:50:04
  Speaker 1: loud love. A banner sprang close to his friend, who
• 2:50:08
  Speaker 1: madly sang in doleful mood, and other crept to mix
• 2:50:13
  Speaker 1: his tears with one who wept. Thendrtimuk with fury vewed
• 2:50:19
  Speaker 1: the intoxicated multitude. He looked upon the rifled shade and
• 2:50:25
  Speaker 1: all the ruind they had made. Then called with angry
• 2:50:29
  Speaker 1: voice and strove to save the remnant of the grove.
• 2:50:34
  Speaker 1: But warning cries and words were sparned, and angry taunt
• 2:50:37
  Speaker 1: and trap returned. Then fierce and wild contention rose. With
• 2:50:43
  Speaker 1: furious words, he mingled blows. They by no shame of
• 2:50:48
  Speaker 1: fear beheld by drunken mood and ire impelled, used claws
• 2:50:53
  Speaker 1: and teeth and hounds, and beat the keeper under trampling feet.
• 2:51:01
  Speaker 1: Three cantus, consisting of little but reputations, are omitted. That
• 2:51:05
  Speaker 1: Hemok escapes from the infuriated monkeys and hastens to Sugriva
• 2:51:09
  Speaker 1: to report their misconduct. Sagriva infers that Hanuman and his
• 2:51:14
  Speaker 1: band have been successful in their search, and that the
• 2:51:18
  Speaker 1: exuberance of spirits and the michief complained of are but
• 2:51:22
  Speaker 1: the natural expression of their joy. That Timo obtains little
• 2:51:26
  Speaker 1: sympathy from Segriva, and is told to return and send
• 2:51:29
  Speaker 1: the monkeys on with all possible speed. Cantos sixty five.
• 2:51:37
  Speaker 1: The tidings on to the Praschavan's hill they spend, where
• 2:51:43
  Speaker 1: blooming trees their branches spread to Regusan their heads they
• 2:51:48
  Speaker 1: bent and did obeysians reverend. Then to their king by
• 2:51:53
  Speaker 1: ungad lead. Each barnard chieftain bowed his head, and Hanuman
• 2:51:58
  Speaker 1: the brave and beld his tiding stood. The monarch told,
• 2:52:03
  Speaker 1: but first in Rama's hand he placed the gem that
• 2:52:07
  Speaker 1: Citar's brow had grazed. I crossed the sea. I searched
• 2:52:12
  Speaker 1: a while for Citar. In the giant's aisle, I found
• 2:52:16
  Speaker 1: her vex to its taunt and tread by demon gods
• 2:52:19
  Speaker 1: about her set her tresses twined in single braid on
• 2:52:24
  Speaker 1: the bare art. Her limbs were laid said where her
• 2:52:28
  Speaker 1: eyes her cheeks were pale as shuddering flowers in winter's scale.
• 2:52:34
  Speaker 1: I stood beside the weeping dame and gently whispered Rama's name,
• 2:52:40
  Speaker 1: with cheering wards. Her grief consoled, and then the whole
• 2:52:43
  Speaker 1: adventure told. She weeps afar beyond the sea, and her
• 2:52:49
  Speaker 1: true heart is still with Tea. She gave a sign
• 2:52:53
  Speaker 1: the doubt. No she bid the tink upon the crowd,
• 2:52:58
  Speaker 1: and bright mark pressed upon her brow when none was nigh.
• 2:53:02
  Speaker 1: But she and thou, she bids de take dispress a stone,
• 2:53:07
  Speaker 1: the sea born gem Thou long hast known, And I,
• 2:53:11
  Speaker 1: she said, will dull the sting of woe by gazing
• 2:53:15
  Speaker 1: on the ring. One little month? Shall I sustain this
• 2:53:19
  Speaker 1: life of pressed with woe and pain? And when the
• 2:53:23
  Speaker 1: month is ended, I the Giant's prey, must she surely die?
• 2:53:30
  Speaker 1: Canto sixty six. Rama's speech, dear, seize the banner. Rama
• 2:53:38
  Speaker 1: pressed the treasured jeweled to his breast, and from his
• 2:53:42
  Speaker 1: eyes the waters broke. As to the banner king, he
• 2:53:45
  Speaker 1: spoke as over her babe, the mother weeps the flood
• 2:53:50
  Speaker 1: of tears. The jewel steeps. This gem that shone on
• 2:53:54
  Speaker 1: Cesar's head was Janak's gift when we were wet, and
• 2:54:00
  Speaker 1: your brow that wore it Land new splendid to the ornament,
• 2:54:04
  Speaker 1: This gem, bright offspring of the wave the king of
• 2:54:08
  Speaker 1: Heaven to Janak gave, whose noble sacrifice, he'll write, had
• 2:54:13
  Speaker 1: filled the god which knew delight. Now as I gaze
• 2:54:17
  Speaker 1: upon the prize, methinks I see my father's eyes. Methinks
• 2:54:22
  Speaker 1: I see before me stand the ruler of Bedehousland. Methinks
• 2:54:28
  Speaker 1: my arms are folded now round her who wore it
• 2:54:32
  Speaker 1: on her brow. Speak on no one, I'll say, dear friend,
• 2:54:36
  Speaker 1: what message did my darling send? I'll speak and let
• 2:54:41
  Speaker 1: thy words impart their gentle deal to coold my heart. Ah,
• 2:54:47
  Speaker 1: it is the crown of world to see this gem
• 2:54:50
  Speaker 1: and ask where where is she? If for one month
• 2:54:55
  Speaker 1: her heart be strong, her days of life will yet
• 2:54:59
  Speaker 1: be long. But I wit not to lend relieve this
• 2:55:04
  Speaker 1: very day must die of grief. Come Honuman, and quickly
• 2:55:08
  Speaker 1: guide the mourner to his darling side. Oh lead me,
• 2:55:13
  Speaker 1: thou hast long the way I cannot and I will
• 2:55:16
  Speaker 1: not stay. How can my gentle love endure so timid,
• 2:55:22
  Speaker 1: delicate and pure? The dreadful demons, fears and vile who
• 2:55:26
  Speaker 1: watch her in the guarded isle no more. The lights
• 2:55:30
  Speaker 1: of beauty shines from cedar as she weeps and pines,
• 2:55:36
  Speaker 1: but pain and sorril, cloud and cloud, How moonlight, glory,
• 2:55:40
  Speaker 1: dim and shroud, Oh speak Dee Honuman and tale each
• 2:55:45
  Speaker 1: world than from her sweet lips fell. How words, how
• 2:55:50
  Speaker 1: words alone can give the healing balm to make me leave?
• 2:55:57
