Hindoo Funeral Song

Call on Rama! call to Rama!
Oh, my brothers, call on Rama!
For this Dead
Whom we bring,
Call aloud to mighty Rama.

As we bear him, oh, my brothers,
Call together, very loudly,
That the Bhûts
May be scared;
That his spirit pass in comfort.

Turn his feet now, calling “Rama,”
Calling “Rama,” who shall take him
When the flames
Make an end:
Ram! Ram!—oh, call to Rama.
