Valmiki Ramayana · Ayodhya Kanda · Sarga 6
ततः पौरजनस्सर्वश्श्रुत्वा रामाभिषेचनम्। प्रभातां रजनीं दृष्ट्वा चक्रे शोभयितुं पुरीम्
tataḥ paurajanassarvaśśrutvā rāmābhiṣecanam| prabhātāṃ rajanīṃ dṛṣṭvā cakre śobhayituṃ purīm
Having heard about the coronation of Rama, all the citizens began to decorate the city soon after daybreak.
— M.N. Dutt (1891)
Commentary
Citizens begin decorating the city at daybreak. The work is spontaneous — not commanded but volunteered. Every hand in Ayodhya contributes to the adornment. The city becomes a collective work of love for Rama.
