Thinking of the vastness of the ocean
makes me immensely happy
Whose shadow is falling on the sea?
Is this a man or a beast?
He has ten heads, and arms twenty;
it is the demon king Ravana.
For insulting my father I am going
to thrash him mercilessly.
I am doing these rites to please all gods
O Vishnu, supreme being, please bless me.
