And on Rāma having repaired to the forest, youthful folk stricken with sorrow do not enjoy the incense of aguru and sandal, or costly fresh chaplets. And persons bearing variegated garlands do not walk abroad; and no festivities are celebrated in the city stricken with grief on account of Rāma.
नेदानीं श्रूयते पुर्यामस्यां रामे विवासिते। चन्दनागुरुगन्धांश्च महाश्चि वनस्रजः॥ गते रामे हि तरुणाः संतप्ता नोपभुञ्जते। बहिर्यात्रां न गच्छन्ति चित्रमाल्यधरा नराः॥
