From Raghu’s line of noble fame, Kalidas sang their lofty name;

With gallantry bright and dharma’s flame, They carved a pure, eternal claim.

Kings who ruled with justice clear, Their deeds resound from far to near;

In sacrifice they showed no fear, Their glory shines through every sphere.

Till Ram came, the crown’s delight, Whose tale fulfilled the lineage bright;

Through trials vast he held the right, And sealed the clan in virtue’s light.
