وہ شاہی راہ چندنِ برتر اور اگرو کے ذخیرے، اعلیٰ خوشبوؤں اور سفید ریشمی کپڑوں کے گٹھّروں سے آراستہ تھی؛ بے عیب موتیوں اور عمدہ بلّور کی چیزوں سے چمکتی، اور گوناگوں پھولوں اور طرح طرح کے کھانوں سے ڈھکی ہوئی تھی۔
The highway (Rama entered) was splendid and spacious with heaps of sandal and agaru of the highest quality, excellent fragrant substances and bundles of white silken cloth. It gleamed with unholed (pristine) pearls, articles made of crystals, flowers of every kind and articles of food of every variety.
The same dharmic theme as 2.17.3–5: auspicious public order and generosity surrounding a righteous prince.
