Padmapurana
Seeing this, make your mind, sight, birth, karma, intellect, body, and conduct meaningful. Thus, the city dwellers, engrossed in the sight of Shri Rama, erupted in a beautiful, noisy clamor filled with immense wonder. ||13-14||
After that, as Rama entered the city, the streets, wide and long, were filled with groups of men and women, all engaged in activities befitting the occasion. ||15||
Many beautiful women, eager and holding vessels filled with various kinds of food, stood there, carrying heavy loads of water. ||16||
Many men, with their belongings firmly secured, arrived carrying full, beautiful water pots. ||17||
"O Master! Come here, O Master! Stay here, O Muni! Please grace us with your presence here," such excellent words spread everywhere. ||18||
Many people, their hearts overflowing with joy, their bodies trembling with excitement, roared like lions, their voices indistinct. ||19||
"O Muni! Victory to you, O Mountain of Merit! May you prosper and be prosperous," the sky was filled with such repeated words. ||20||
"Bring the vessels quickly, look for the tray, bring the golden plate quickly, bring the milk, bring the sugarcane, keep the yogurt nearby, quickly place the kheer in the beautiful silver vessel, bring the granulated sugar and candy quickly, fill this vessel with fragrant, cool water infused with camphor, bring the group of puris quickly, place the excellent shikharini in the pitcher according to the proper procedure, hey, clever one! Give the large, excellent laddoos with joy," such words of the women and men made the city completely absorbed in itself. ||21-25||
At that time, the people in that city were so engrossed in the commotion that they did not care for heavy necessities, nor did they even notice the children. ||26||
Many people, rushing through the narrow lanes, knocked down the people standing with vessels in their hands. ||27||
Thus, the city, with its people's hearts soaring high and their actions driven by the frenzy, became like a madman, all around. ||28||
The immense noise of the people and their brilliance shattered even the strong pillars of the city. ||29||
