2.22.12

iti mālyaiḥ suragaṇān gandhaiś cāpi yaśasvinī
stutibhiś cānurūpābhir ānarcāyatalocanā

Thus with due praise the long-eyed dame,
Ennobled by her spotless fame,
With wreaths of flowers and precious scent
Worshipped the Gods, most reverent.
A high-souled Br?man lit the fire,
And offered, at the queen's desire,
The holy oil ordained to burn
For Ráma's weal and safe return.
Kaus'aly? best of dames, with care
Set oil, wreaths, fuel, mustard, there.
Then when the rites of fire had ceased,
For Ráma's bliss and health, the priest,
Standing without gave what remained
In general offering, as ordained.

Ralph T. H. Griffith 1870, The Rámáyan of Válmíki, translated into English verse
