तदा ह्ययोध्यानिलयः सस्त्रीबालाबलो जनः। रामाभिषेकमाकाङ्क्षन्नाकाङ्क्षदुदयं रवेः

tadā hyayodhyānilayaḥ sastrībālābalo janaḥ| rāmābhiṣekamākāṅkṣannākāṅkṣadudayaṃ raveḥ

Translation (English)

 Then all the people living in Ayodhya including women, children and aged alike wishing to see the coronation of Rama eagerly waited for the sunrise.

M.N. Dutt (1891)

Commentary

Women, children, and the aged — all of Ayodhya — gather to witness the coronation. The inclusiveness of the crowd is deliberate: no one is excluded from this joy. The coronation is not a state event but a family celebration, and Ayodhya is one family.
