To dear Ayodhyá's happy town.

I see around exceeding fair

All omens of the earth and air.

Auspicious breezes sweet and low

To greet the Vánar army blow,

And softly to my listening ear

Come the glad cries of bird and deer.

Bright is the sky around us, bright

Without a cloud the Lord of Light,

And Śukra[903] with propitious love
