Definition: The English translation for "Ajodhya" comes from the Greek term "Adeyotra" which means "the place of God." In the Bible, it is a place that God chose to dwell, specifically the temple in Jerusalem. The text that translates this into English often says: "The king said: 'I will build you a great city for God's glory, and I shall dedicate a house for me where he dwells.' So there was built a great city and a house for me (1 Kings 4:9-10). The term "Ajodhya" also appears in the book of Daniel in reference to the temple in Jerusalem. In chapter 3:12-15, it says: "Then Daniel was led into the temple of the Lord, where he saw a great court surrounded by a wall, and a house for God's glory. The temple in Jerusalem was also the place where God dwelled for a long time (Isaiah 68:3). This is why the Bible often translates "Ajodhya" as a place or location of God's presence. It represents the holy sanctuary where the Lord dwells."
