"Driving away fear, breaking the bonds of servitude, Rooting out ignoble thoughts raised the nation, That it may reach lofty heights in the world, The immortal poet who conquered Time! “All are one caste” proclaimed he, Defiling discriminations driving away, Arrived the immortal poet — the cascade of words, And a flame burst of fiery heroism!"
