 सारथे पश्य विध्वस्ता साऽयोध्या न प्रकाशते।निराकारा निरानन्दा दीना प्रतिहतस्वरा।। 
  O charioteer, look, Ayodhya is in shapeless shambles. It is silent and cheerless. It is dull and desolate. It shines no more.     Thus ends the hundredthirteenth sarga in Ayodhyakanda of the holy Ramayana, the first epic composed by sage Valmiki.
