Rāmāyaṇacampū 2.4

2.4

Therefore, upon this child—who possesses unbounded valor since defeating Bhārgava whose fearsome appearance carried an axe with an exceedingly sharp edge that shattered the pride of the entire kṣatriya class, who is the vessel of beauty, the abode of the people’s affection, free of envy, and affectionate—I desire, with the assent of the noble elders, to unload the burden of the earth borne for so long, and to enjoy the bliss of retirement.”
Then the people, like peacocks uttering unhindered, rolling cries caused by the touch of boundless joy aroused upon hearing the rumbling sound of monsoon cloud masses, made the faces of the quarters resound with the murmuring din born of intense delight.
A flood of tears of joy appeared upon the faces of the subjects, / like nectar within lotuses, / as if washing their eyes out of longing / to gaze upon the radiant beauty of Rāma that was to be on the day of consecration. // 4
