Then the tiger among men crossed by chariot the land of Kosala—rich in grain and wealth; auspicious, inhabited by charitable and virtuous people; charming and free from fear on any side; adorned with sacred shrines and sacrificial posts; filled with gardens and mango groves and well-watered reservoirs; crowded with content and well-nourished folk, frequented by herds of cattle; worthy to be seen by kings, and resounding with the sound of Vedic recitation.
Rama, the best of men, crossed the auspicious land of Kosala which was worth seeing by kings. It looked charming with sacrificial posts and altars, pleasure gardens and mango groves and tanks filled with water. It was rich with herds of cattle, wealth and foodgrains. It was inhabited by charitable, contented and wellnourished people free from fear from any quarter. And it reverberated with the sounds of Vedic recitations.
A dharmic kingdom is portrayed by social welfare: charity, fearlessness, ritual order, and prosperity shared among contented people.
As Rāma travels, the poem describes Kosala’s ideal conditions—material abundance and spiritual culture—before he reaches Ayodhyā.
Indirectly, the virtue of righteous governance (rajadharma) that produces a fearless, charitable, and Veda-resounding society.
