Ramayana 3.366

Ramayana · translated by Ralph T.H. Griffith

The mountain seemed her track to show, But told not all he sought to know. Then Dasaratha's son renewed His summons as the mount he viewed: "Soon as my flaming arrows fly, Consumed to ashes shall thou lie Without a herb or bud or tree, And birds no more shall dwell in thee. And if this stream my prayer deny, My wrath this day her flood shall dry, Because she lends no aid to trace My darling of the lotus face."
