सिक्तराजपथां कृत्स्नां प्रकीर्णकुसुमोत्कराम्।अयोध्यां मन्थरा तस्मात्प्रासादादन्ववैक्षत।।।।
siktarājapathāṃ kṛtsnāṃ prakīrṇakusumotkarām | ayodhyāṃ mantharā tasmāt prāsādād anvavaikṣata ||

Not a personal virtue, but the collective virtue of orderly public conduct—cleanliness, auspiciousness, and respect for royal rites.
