He heard on the way sounds of musical instruments, eulogy of the panegyrists and lionlike roars of the heroes. Exquisitely beautiful damsels, adorned with various ornaments and dresses, standing by the windows began to shower flowers upon the head of the foedestroyer Rāma, and those spotless beauties with a view to please Rāma, some standing on the buildings and some on the ground, began to praise him:
ततो वादित्रशब्दाश्च स्तुतिशब्दाश्च वन्दिनाम्॥ सिंहनादाश्च शूराणां ततः शुश्रुविरे पथि। हर्म्यवातायनस्थाभिर्भूषिताभिः समन्ततः॥ कीर्यमाणः सुपुष्पौधैर्ययौ स्त्रीभिररिंदमः। रामं सर्वानवद्याङ्गयो रामपिप्रीषया ततः॥ वचोभिरग्र्यैर्हर्म्यस्थाः क्षितिस्थाश्च ववन्दिरे।
