The city (of Ayodhya), resembling the abode of Indra, (Amaravati) crowded with villagers from all over wishing to witness it (the coronation of Rama), grew noisy and sparkled like the water of the ocean teeming with aquatic animals. इत्यार्षे श्रीमद्रामायणे वाल्मीकीय आदिकाव्ये अयोध्याकाण्डे षष्ठस्सर्गः।। Thus ends the sixth sarga of Ayodhyakanda of the holy Ramayana, the first epic composed by sage Valmiki.
— M.N. Dutt (1891)
Ayodhya shines like the abode of Indra, crowded with villagers who have come to witness the coronation. The epic closes sarga 6 with a vision of paradise on earth. Everything is perfect. Every detail is in place. The world has never been more beautiful — because in the next sarga, it will be shattered. Sarga 6 ends at the peak of happiness, which is exactly where tragedy must strike.
