Vālmīki Rāmāyaṇa
The capital city of Kosala and the Ikṣvāku dynasty, ruled by Daśaratha and later Rāma.
It had a deep and formidable moat making it a fortress difficult for others to assail;
The great city everywhere was filled with troops of female dancers and theatrical companies;
That great and splendid city extended twelve yojanas in length and three in breadth, with its great avenues well laid out.
