Valmiki Ramayana 2.5.12

2.5.12

suhṛdbhis tatra rāmo 'pi tān anujñāpya sarvaśaḥ
sabhājito viveśātha tān anujñāpya sarvaśaḥ

Thus having said, Vas'ishtha next
Ordained the fast by rule and text,
For Ráma faithful to his vows
And the Videhan dame his spouse.
Then from the prince's house he hied
With courteous honours gratified.
Round Ráma gathered every friend
In pleasant talk a while to spend.
He bade good night to all at last,
And to his inner chamber passed.
Then Ráma's house shone bright and gay
With men and maids in glad array,
As in the morning some fair lake
When all her lotuses awake,
And every bird that loves the flood
Flits joyous round each opening bud.
