حتى بعد انصراف الغندرفا، ظلّ الرجال—وقد غلبتهم كثرة الشراب—سكرى؛ وكانت أجسادهم لا تزال مطيّبة بالأغرو الإلهيّ وخشب الصندل. وكانت الأكاليل البهيّة المتنوّعة، وقد سُحقت تحت أقدام الناس، مبعثرة هنا وهناك.
Even after the departure of the gandharvas the soldiers who had consumed limitless liquor were still inebriated. The divine agaru and sandalwood smeared on their bodies still remained. Several splendid garlands crushed by them were strewn all over.इत्यार्षे श्रीमद्रामायणे वाल्मीकीय आदिकाव्य अयोध्याकाण्डे एकनवतितमस्सर्गः।।Thus ends the ninetyfirst sarga in Ayodhyakanda of the holy Ramayana, the first epic composed by sage Valmiki.
