By architects with rule and line laid out in order fair to see,
With walls and gates and battlements, traversed by streets on every side,
With horses, cows and chariots thronged with tanks and gardens beautified,
Videha's far-famed capital, gay with its knights and warrior swarms,
Clad in their robes of tiger-skins, with banners spread and flashing arms,
Its Brahmins dressed in Kāśi cloth, perfumed with sandal, decked with gems,
Its palaces and all their queens with robes of state and diadems.⁷
