Verse 24·VR 2.88.24

शून्य सम्वरणा रक्षाम् अयन्त्रित हय द्विपाम् | अपावृत पुर द्वाराम् राज धानीम् अरक्षिताम् || २-८८-२४ अप्रहृष्ट बलाम् न्यूनाम् विषमस्थाम् अनावृताम् | शत्रवो न अभिमन्यन्ते भक्ष्यान् विष कृतान् इव || २-८८-२५

Translation

"Without guards to watch over its ramparts, with its unrestrained horses and elephants, with its city-gates laid open, without any defenders, denuded of its happy army, plunged in desolation in difficulties and exposed, that royal capital of Ayodhya will be shunned like poisoned food even by the enemies."
