3.29.32

tad idaṃ naḥ kṛtaṃ kāryaṃ tvayā daśarathātmaja
sukhaṃ dharmaṃ cariṣyanti daṇḍakeṣu maharṣayaḥ

'For this, Lord Indra, glorious sire,
Majestic as the burning fire,
Who crushes cities in his rage,
Sought S'arabhanga's hermitage.
Thou wast, this great design to aid,
Led by the saints to seek this shade,
And with thy mighty arm to kill
The giants who delight in ill.
Thou Das'aratha's noble son,
The battle for our sake hast won,
And saints in Dandak's wild who live
Their days to holy tasks can give.'

Ralph T. H. Griffith 1870, The Rámáyan of Válmíki, translated into English verse
