IV. The King's River

'Red-mouth'd, green-wing'd bright bird! Tell us the RIVER of the Sire

Come down, the foulness of our mind to cleanse.' (16)

V. The Mountain of the King. 

'O parrot purple-mouth'd! Tell me the ever-during MOUNT'

Where the soul's darkness flees, and light shines forth.' (20)

VI. The King's Courser.

'Come hither, parrot mine! and tell, before thou sek'st thy cage, 
The Lord of matchless glory, what rides He?'-'He joyous rides
Upon the COURSES of the sky;- with honied thought the maids 

Divine attending chaunt melodious praise!' (24)

VII. The King's Weapon.

'Parrot whose words are honey from the bough! What WEAPON pray
O'ercomes the foes of Perun-turrai's blameless King?'

Causing the souls from malice free to melt.' (28)

That awful sounds before our Perun-turrai's King!'-' In love

All bliss of heaven: the joyous NATHA-DRUM.' (32)

IX.The King's Garland.

'Parrot, whose word is music, say what is the GARLAND worn

He wears as WREATH the Tali-arrugu.' (36)

X. The King's Banner.

'Green parrot of the grove declare, what BANNER glorious waves
Above the King of Perun-turrai's waters pure?'- 'Aloft
The stainless BANNER of the bull resplendent gleams 

In beauty manifest, while foes flee far.' (40)
