2.5.24

tad agryaveṣapramadājanākulaṃ mahendraveśmapratimaṃ niveśanam
vyadīpayaṃś cāru viveśa pārthivaḥ śaśīva tārāgaṇasaṃkulaṃ nabhaḥ

Then as a royal lion seeks
His cave beneath the rocky peaks,
So to the chambers where abode
His consorts Das'aratha strode.
Full-thronged were those delightful bowers
With women richly dressed,
And splendid as the radiant towers
Where Indra loves to rest.
Then brighter flashed a thousand eyes
With the light his presence lent,
As, when the moon begins to rise
The star thronged firmament.

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