Canto 2 -
Ayodhyā-kāṇḍa
Chapter 40: Rāma Departs from Ayodhyā
Text 2.40.15

अथो ज्वलनसङ्काशं चामीकरविभूषितम्।
तमारुरुहतुस्तूर्णं भ्रातरौ रामलक्ष्मणौ॥

atho jvalana-saṅkāśaṁ cāmīkara-vibhūṣitam
tam āruruhatus tūrṇaṁ bhrātarau rāma-lakṣmaṇau

atho = then; jvalana-saṅkāśaṁ = firelike; cāmīkara-vibhūṣitam = decorated with gold; tam = that chariot; āruruhatuḥ = climbed on; tūrṇaṁ = quickly; bhrātarau = the brothers; rāma-lakṣmaṇau = Rāma and Lakṣmaṇa.

Then the brothers Rāma and Lakṣmaṇa quickly climbed on that firelike chariot decorated with gold.

The chariot was firelike because it was filled with weapons.
