Bharata joyfully set forth to receive the All-merciful. Many women, who had climbed up
their attics, looked above for the aerial car in the sky. And the moment they espied it they
began in their joy to sing festal songs in melodious strains. Just as the sight of the full
moon brings joy to the ocean and swells it, the city of Ayodhyå too joyfully rushed with
a tumultuous noise to meet the Lord of the Raghus, the women of the city moving to and
fro like so many waves. (3 AóC)

At the other end ›r∂ Råma, who brought delight to the solar race as the sun to
the lotus, was busy showing the charming city to the monkeys. ìListen, Sugr∂va (lord of
the monkeys), A∆gada and Vibh∂aƒa (lord of La∆kå), holy is this city and beautiful this
land. Although all have extolled VaikuĢha (My divine Abode), which is familiar to the
Vedas and the Puråƒas and known throughout the world, it is not so dear to Me as the
city of Ayodhyå: only some rare soul knows this secret. This beautiful city is My
birthplace; to the north of it flows the holy Sarayµu, by bathing in which men secure a
home near Me without any difficulty. The dwellers here are very dear to Me; the city is
not only full of bliss itself but bestows a residence in My divine Abode.î The monkeys
were all delighted to hear these words of the Lord and said, ìBlessed indeed is Ayodhyå,
that has evoked praise from ›r∂ Råma Himself !î (1ó4)
