Gold Vases Adorned the Entrance Doors
People ornamented and decorated gold vases (with precious stones and gems) in an unusual fashion and placed them at their entrance doors.
Festoons Were Put up to Welcome Lord Rama
Everyone put up festoons, flags and buntings for auspiciousness. All the streets were sprayed with scented liquids, and several squares were created and filled with elephant pearls(found within the cavity of elephant tusks). Many kinds of beautiful festive preparations were set up and a large number of
Kettledrums Were Sounded to Greet Lord Raghuvir
kettledrums delightfully sounded in the city. Ladies scattered offerings about the Lord wherever He went, and blessed Him with their hearts full of joy. So many (happily married) young women sang festive songs, having decorated gold platters with several sorts of arti articles (ghi, incense and diyas).
Rama, the Lord of the Raghus is Like the Full Moon
They were busy doing arti of the Lord, who is the Reliever of agony, and brings delight to the Ragus just as the sun delights a forest of lotuses. The majestic splendour, wealth and the good fortune of the city have been raved about by the Vedas, Shesa (the serpent-god) and Sharada (the goddess of learning). (Lord Shiva says) O Uma! But even they were astounded to see this spectacle. Then, how can any human being possibly give an account of His virtues?

Women of Ayodhya are Likened to Water Lilies
The women are like water-lilies, Ayodhya is likened to a lake and the separation from Lord Raghunath is the sun. (The women had withered due to the burning agony of separation) and now because the sun of separation had set, they blossomed once again at the sight of Lord Ram, the full moon. Several kinds of auspicious omens occurred and kettle drums sounded in the sky as the Lord proceeded towards the palace after blessing the city's men and women (with His sight.)

Shri Hari Proceeds Towards His Palace
(Lord Shiva continues) O Bhavani! The Lord came to know that Kaikeyi was ashamed of herself (thus) he first went to her palace. He gave her much relief by assuring her that everything was fine. Thereafter Shri Hari headed towards His own palace. When the All-compassionate Lord Ram entered His palace, every man and woman of the city was over joyed.
Sage Vasistha, Lord Rama's Guru
The guru, Vasisth called the bråhmans (and told them,) that the hour, day and all other factors were favourable today. All you Brahmans, must be pleased and give the order so that Lord Ramchandra can be seated on the royal throne. On hearing the pleasing words of sage Vasisthh all the Brahmans felt really good. Many of those brahmans began speaking lovingly tender words that the coronation of Lord Ram would bring delight to the entire world. Do not delay any longer now and quickly perform the tilak ceremony (apply the sectarian mark made of saffron or sandalwood) of sovereignty on His forehead.

Chariots, Horses & Elephants are Decked with Finery
Soon after, the sage instructed Sumantra, who merrily proceeded as soon as he received the order. Quickly, he got a number of chariots, horses and elephants adorned (with finery). Dispatching messengers all about he had auspicious articles brought over. Then he returned happily and bowed at Vasisth's feet.
