Valmiki Ramayana · Ayodhya Kanda · Sarga 7
सिक्तराजपथां कृत्स्नां प्रकीर्णकुसुमोत्कराम्। अयोध्यां मन्थरा तस्मात्प्रासादादन्ववैक्षत
siktarājapathāṃ kṛtsnāṃ prakīrṇakusumotkarām| ayodhyāṃ mantharā tasmātprāsādādanvavaikṣata
Manthara beheld from that palace the whole of Ayodhya with its highways sprinkled with water and strewn with a lot of flowers.
— M.N. Dutt (1891)
Commentary
From the palace rooftop, Manthara sees the whole of Ayodhya: sprinkled highways, strewn flowers, the city in its finest dress. The view is panoramic — she sees the joy of six sargas in a single glance. And it fills her not with delight but with fury.
