Auch die Bürger, als sie die Worte des Königs hörten, empfanden es wie einen ersehnten Gewinn. Sie nahmen Abschied vom Herrscher, gingen eilends in ihre Häuser und verehrten, überaus erfreut, die Götter.
On hearing such pronouncement by the king, the citizens also felt they have got something beneficial for themselves. They took leave of the king (Dasaratha) and hastening home, full of joy, began worshipping their gods.इत्यार्षे श्रीमद्रामायणे वाल्मीकीय आदिकाव्ये अयोध्याकाण्डे तृतीयस्सर्गः।।Thus ends the third sarga of Ayodhyakanda of the holy Ramayana, the first epic composed by sage Valmiki.
