praśāntagītōtsavanṛttavādanā vyapāstaharṣā pihitāpaṇōdayā. tadā hyayōdhyā nagarī babhūva sā mahārṇava ssaṅkṣapitōdakō yathā৷৷
With the cessation of singing, celebrations, dance and music, there was no rejoicing in the city. The markets displaying merchandise were shut down. The city of Ayodhya looked like the ocean with its waters diminished. इत्यार्षे श्रीमद्रामायणे वाल्मीकीय आदिकाव्ये अयोध्याकाण्डे अष्टचत्वारिशस्सर्गः।। Thus ends the fortyeighth sarga of Ayodhyakanda of the holy Ramayana, the first epic composed by sage Valmiki.
