This city is stricken with grief on account of Rama's departure. Men do not go out on pleasure jaunts wearing garlands of variegated flowers. Festivities are not celebrated. [2-114-26]
सह नूनं मम भ्रात्रा पुरस्यास्य द्युतिर्गता | न हि राजत्ययोध्येयं सासारेवार्जुनी क्षपा || २-११४-२७
Certainly splendour has left along with my brother. Like the night when the rain pours down during the waning of the Moon, Ayodhya shines not. [2-114-27]
