As Indra on slumber's embrace, as fire on oceans vast,
As Indra on slumber's embrace, as fire on oceans vast,
So Ramachandra, on Ravana's pride, his kingdom cast.
As Indra on slumber's embrace, as fire on oceans vast.

As wind on cloud's dark sail, as Shiva on desire's blight,
As wind on cloud's dark sail, as Shiva on desire's blight,
So Rama, on Sahasrabahu's strength, he shines with light.
As Indra on slumber's embrace, as fire on oceans vast.

As fire on forests old, as cheetah on the deer's swift herd,
As fire on forests old, as cheetah on the deer's swift herd,
So Shivaji, on the elephant's might, a lion's word.
As Indra on slumber's embrace, as fire on oceans vast.

As light on shadows deep, as Krishna on Kansa's reign,
As light on shadows deep, as Krishna on Kansa's reign,
So Shivaji, on the Mleccha's line, a lion's stain.
As Indra on slumber's embrace, as fire on oceans vast,
So Ramachandra, on Ravana's pride, his kingdom cast.
As Indra on slumber's embrace, as fire on oceans vast.
