ayodhyāsadṛśī kāpi dṛśyate nāparā purī | yā na spṛśati vasudhāṃ viṣṇucakrasthitā'niśam

Type: kshetra
Scene: A radiant Ayodhyā appears slightly above the earth, as if resting upon a vast luminous Sudarśana-cakra; the city’s ramparts and temples glow with Vaiṣṇava splendor, suggesting an otherworldly suspension.
