\nCoshala named, a mighty country there was, swollen and glad;
\nseated on the banks of the Sarayu it abounded in wealth &
\ngrain; and there was the city Ayodhya famed throughout the
\ntriple world, built by Manu himself, lord of men. Twelve leagues
\nwas the beautiful mighty city in its length, three in its breadth;
\nlarge & clear-cut were its streets, and a vast clear-cut highroad
\nadorned it that ever was sprinkled with water and strewn freely
\nwith flowers. Dasaratha increasing a mighty nation peopled that
\ncity, like a king of the gods in his heavens; a town of arched gateways he made it, and wide were the spaces between its shops;
\nfull was it of all machines and implements and inhabited by all
\nkinds of craftsmen and frequented by herald and bard, a city
\nbeautiful of unsurpassed splendours; lofty were its bannered
\nmansions, crowded was it with hundreds of hundred-slaying
\nengines of war, and in all quarters of the city there were theatres
\nfor women and there were gardens and mango-groves and the
\nramparts formed a girdle round its spacious might; hard was it
\nfor the foe to enter, hard to assail, for difficult and deep was the
\ncity’s moat; filled it was of horses & elephants, cows and camels
\nand asses, crowded with its tributary kings arrived for sacrifice
\nto the gods, rich with merchants from many lands and glorious
\nwith palaces built of precious stone high-piled like hills & on 
\nthe house-tops pleasure-rooms; like Indra’s Amaravati Ayodhya
\nseemed.<\/span><\/p>\n
