    To pour redress on India’s injur’d realm, The oppressor to dethrone, the proud to whelm ; To chase destruction from her plunder’d shore, With arts and arms that triumph’d once before, The tenth Avatar comes! at Heav’n’s command Shall Seriswattee wave her hallow’d wand! And Camdeo bright, and Ganesa sublime/ Shall bless with joy their own propitious clime! Come, Heav’nly Powers! primeval peace restore! Love!-—Mercy!—Wisdom I—rule for evermore V* end of the first part.
