Poem

For the love of my consort Rama, I humbled myself to the attentions of the demonic, Ravana.
My beloved husband, with untold bravery released me from the clutches of the despised a single.
We came from the dark forest and my folks lighted the way.
My kingdom remains on earth - stick to these who worship me, for I have offered them the sacred flame.
