Composed in elevated śloka verse, it unites heroic action, moral inquiry, courtly refinement, and devotional feeling.

“In all this world, I pray thee, whoIs virtuous, heroic, true?Firm in his vows, of grateful mind,To every creature good and kind?Bounteous, and holy, just, and wise,Alone most fair to all men's eyes?Devoid of envy, firm, and sage,Whose tranquil soul ne'er yields to rage?Whom, when his warrior wrath is high,Do Gods embattled fear and fly?
