The happy land no murrain knew, The flocks and herds increased and grew. The earth her kindly fruits supplied, No harvest failed, no children died. Unknown were want, disease, and crime: So calm, so happy was the time.

In plain words: Under Rama's rule, animals were free of disease and herds grew. The land gave plenty of food, no harvest failed, and no children died. There was no poverty, sickness or crime, and life was calm and happy.
