The City of Dasangabhoga
16
Beloved, the city of Dasangabhoga is visible, where the father of the beautiful woman, Vajrashrava, a great Shravaka, resides. ||15||
Looking again at the earth, Janaki asked again, "Beloved, whose celestial king's city is this?" ||16||
It is filled with magnificent buildings like vimanas, and I have never seen such a city that mocks heaven. ||17||
Hearing Janaki's words and looking at the directions slowly, Rama's mind was confused for a moment. But knowing everything, he smiled softly and said, "Beloved, this is Ayodhya. It seems that celestial artisans have created it in such a way that it looks like another city, it has conquered Lanka and is filled with excellent radiance." ||18-16||
Then, suddenly seeing a vimana shining like a second sun, situated in the middle of the sky, the city was filled with excitement. ||20||
Filled with excitement, Bharata, mounted on a great elephant, adorned with great splendor, came out of the city like Indra. ||21||
At that time, he saw all directions covered with celestial beings, situated in various vehicles and vimanas, and endowed with extraordinary powers. ||22||
Seeing Bharata approaching, Rama and Lakshmana, who had brought the Pushpaka vimana down to earth, approached with joy. ||23||
Seeing them both nearby, Bharata dismounted from the elephant and worshipped them with hundreds of offerings, filled with love and respect. ||24||
Then, emerging from the top of the vimana, both elder brothers, adorned with armlets, embraced Bharata with great love. ||25||
Seeing each other and inquiring about their well-being, Rama and Lakshmana, along with Bharata, boarded the Pushpaka vimana again. ||26||
Then, everyone entered the city of Ayodhya, which was decorated and adorned with various flags, in an orderly manner. ||27||
The path was filled with vehicles, vimanas, chariots, and many flags, all moving with great speed. ||28||
Where did Lakshmana obtain a wonderful girl named Kalyanamala, similar to you? ||14||
