Thou art the refuge of the wretched, for that reason O Cloud (Watergiver) bear news of me to my beloved, for I am separated from her by the anger of the Lord of Wealth. You must set out for the habitations of the Yaksha chiefs, called Alaka, the palaces of which glance white in the moonlight on the Head of Siva, placed in the exterior gardens.
