As the time for Rama's coronation was approaching, men in public squares and in private houses talked with one another about the consecration of Rama.
— M.N. Dutt (1891)
Men in public squares and private houses talk of nothing but the coronation. The unity of the city's focus is remarkable — no other subject exists. Rama fills every conversation, every thought, every heart. The whole city is in love.
