Atfd a cruel V^ision,<br />

Faxie of lurid flame,<br />

Umd's Wrath Incarnate,<br />

From the altar came.<br />

Fiendlike forms by thousands<br />

Started from his side,<br />

' Gainst the sacrificers<br />

All their might they plied<br />

Till the saints availed not<br />

Strength like theirs to stay,<br />

And the gods distracted<br />

Turned and fled away.<br />

Hushed were hymns and chanting,<br />

Priests were mocked and spumed j<br />

Food defiled and scattered j<br />

Altars overturned.<br />

Then, to save the object<br />

Sought at such a prioe,<br />

Like a deer in semblance<br />

Sped the sacrifice.<br />

Soaring toward the heavens,<br />

Through the sky it fled<br />

But the Budras chasing<br />

Smote away its head.<br />

Prostrate on the pavement<br />

Daksha fell dismayed:^<br />

" Mightiest, thou hast conquered<br />

Thee we ask for aid.<br />

" Let not our oblations<br />

AU be rendered vain ;.
