Oh Paaduka! Rama had gone to the forest. Formerly (when You had not

come)

all was

 

pell-mell; the fortresswalls were left open; the horses were not tied

to the

chariot;

 

travellers slept wherever they chose.

 

OR

 

When You were ruling, the condition was so good that the fortress-gates

 

needed no closure, the horses had no assignment to do; people had no

fear

and could,

 

therefore sleep anywhere.

 

This is the greatness of Your regime.

 

Namo Narayana,
