But to seek fresh steeds of battle ere he faced his foeman's mightA

Harnessing his gallant coursers to a new and glorious carB
Sunlike in its radiant splendour Ravan came once more to warC
-
Gods in wonder watched the contest of the more than mortal foesD
Ravan mighty in his vengeance Rama lofty in his woesD
-
Gods in wonder marked the heroes lion like in jungle woodE
INDRA sent his arms and chariot where the human warrior stoodE
-
'Speed Matali ' thus spake INDRA 'speed thee with my heavenly carB
Where on foot the righteous Rama meets his mounted foe in warC

Speed for Ravan's days are ended and his moments brief and fewF
Rama strives for right and virtue Gods assist the brave and true '-

Brave Matali drove the chariot drawn by steeds like solar rayG
Where the true and righteous Rama sought his foe in fatal frayG

Shining arms and heavenly weapons he to lofty Rama gaveH
When the righteous strive and struggle Gods assist the true and braveH

'Take this car ' so said Matali 'which the helping Gods provideI
Rama take these steeds celestial INDRA'S golden chariot rideI

Take this royal bow and quiver wear this falchion dread and direJ
VISWA KARMAN forged this armour in the flames of heavenly fireK
-
I shall be thy chariot driver and shall speed the thund'ring carB
Slay the sin polluted Ravan in this last and fatal war '-
-
Rama mounted on the chariot clad in arms of heavenly sheenL
And he mingled in a contest mortal eyes have never seenL
