Thereafter, Lord Rāmacandra entered the palace of His forefathers. Within the palace were various treasures and valuable wardrobes. The sitting places on the two sides of the entrance door were made of coral, the yards were surrounded by pillars of vaidūrya-maṇi, the floor was made of highly polished marakata-maṇi, and the foundation was made of marble. The entire palace was decorated with flags and garlands and bedecked with valuable stones, shining with a celestial effulgence. The palace was fully decorated with pearls and surrounded by lamps and incense. The men and women within the palace all resembled demigods and were decorated with various ornaments, which seemed beautiful because of being placed on their bodies.

Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)

Thereafter, Lord Rāmacandra entered the palace used by his forefathers, furnished with various treasures and furniture, with coral thresholds, rows of cat’s eye columns, walls of emerald and clear, sparkling crystal, colorful garlands, flags. The palace was bright with the rays emanating from gems and cloth, with pearls, lamps and fragrant incense, and celestial men and women decorated with flowers, whose bodies glorified their ornaments, all of which fulfilled one’s desires, since they were spiritual. How did Rāma conduct himself? The answer is now repeated, but described in detail. The palace had doors with thresholds made of coral. All the phrases are connected with the word “decorated” in verse 34. It was bright with the rays from the cloth and jewels. All the objects fulfilled all one’s desires since they were spiritual (cit-ullāsaiḥ). Cit-ullāsaiḥ modifies all objects in the list.
