Bibligraphical Note

The Slaying of Dhumraksha*

Loud in their gladness and their lust of fight

Shouted the forest-host when they beheld

The dreadful Rakshas coming forth to war,

Dhumraksha; loud the noise of mellay clashed,

Giants and Apes with tree and spear and mace

Smiting their foemen. For the Giants hewed

Their dread opponents earthward everywhere,

And they too with the trunks of trees bore down

Their monstrous foes and levelled with the dust.
