स रामो रथमास्थाय सम्प्रहृष्टसुहृज्जनः। पताकाध्वजसम्पन्नं महार्हागुरुधूपितम्॥ अपश्यनगरं श्रीमान् नानाजनसमन्वितम्। स गृहैरभ्रसंकाशैः पाण्डुरैरुपशोभितम्॥

English Meaning
Rāma, having his friends delighted, ascending the car, and viewing the city adorned with pennons and flags and incensed with Dhūpa and Agaru, entered the high way, crowded with people and containing houses coloured as the pale white clouds, and the place between the two rows whereof scented with Dhūpa and Agaru.
