स तु हर्षात्तमुद्देशं जनौघो विपुलः प्रयान्।
अशोभत महावेगः समुद्र इव पर्वणि॥

aśobhata mahā-vegaḥ samudra iva parvaṇi

A large number of people delightfully departed to where Rāma was. The crowd shone like the greatly forceful ocean on a full moon night.
Though these works were difficult to perform, the people were delighted because they were excited to meet Rāma.
