लाभो जनस्यास्य यदेष सर्वं। प्रपत्स्यते राष्ट्रमिदं चिराय । न ह्यप्रियं किंचन जातु कश्चित् । पश्येन्न कुःखं मनुजादिपेऽस्मिन् ॥ २-१६-४६

स घोषवद्भिश्च हयैः सनागैः । पुरस्सरैः स्वस्तिकसूतमागधैः । महीयमानः प्रवरैश्च वादकैः । अभिष्टुतो वैश्रवणो यथा ययौ॥ २-१६-४७
With bards, panegyrists and great musical performers invoking blessings and walking ahead, he (Rama) proceeded, like Kubera amid intoxicated elephants and horses. [2-16-47]
