सो सुखु करमु धरमु जरि जाऊ। जहँ न राम पद पंकज भाऊ।। जोगु कुजोगु ग्यानु अग्यानू। जहँ नहिं राम पेम परधानू।। तुम्ह बिनु दुखी सुखी तुम्ह तेहीं। तुम्ह जानहु जिय जो जेहि केहीं।। राउर आयसु सिर सबही कें। बिदित कृपालहि गति सब नीकें।। आपु आश्रमहि धारिअ पाऊ। भयउ सनेह सिथिल मुनिराऊ।। करि प्रनाम तब रामु सिधाए। रिषि धरि धीर जनक पहिं आए।। राम बचन गुरु नृपहि सुनाए। सील सनेह सुभायँ सुहाए।। महाराज अब कीजिअ सोई। सब कर धरम सहित हित होई।।
sō sukhu karamu dharamu jari jāū. jahaom na rāma pada paṃkaja bhāū.. jōgu kujōgu gyānu agyānū. jahaom nahiṃ rāma pēma paradhānū.. tumha binu dukhī sukhī tumha tēhīṃ. tumha jānahu jiya jō jēhi kēhīṃ.. rāura āyasu sira sabahī kēṃ. bidita kṛpālahi gati saba nīkēṃ.. āpu āśramahi dhāria pāū. bhayau sanēha sithila munirāū.. kari pranāma taba rāmu sidhāē. riṣi dhari dhīra janaka pahiṃ āē.. rāma bacana guru nṛpahi sunāē. sīla sanēha subhāyaom suhāē.. mahārāja aba kījia sōī. saba kara dharama sahita hita hōī.
"Perish the happiness, ritual and piety in which there is no devotion to the lotus feet of Rama (yourself). That Yoga (discipline conducive to union with God) is an abominable Yoga and that wisdom unwisdom, in which love for Rama yourself) is not supreme. Whosoever is unhappy is unhappy without you and even so whoever is happy is happy through you. You know what exists in the mind of a particular individual. Your command holds sway over all and your gracious self knows all the ways full well. You may return to your hermitage now." The lord of sages was overpowered with emotion. Sri Rama then made obeisance and departed, while the sage collected himself and called on King Janaka. The preceptor repeated to the king Sri Rama's naturally graceful words, which were full of amiability and affection, and added, "O great monarch, now do that which may do good to all without prejudice to religion."

राम भरत गुन गनत सप्रीती। निसि दंपतिहि पलक सम बीती।। राज समाज प्रात जुग जागे। न्हाइ न्हाइ सुर पूजन लागे।। गे नहाइ गुर पहीं रघुराई। बंदि चरन बोले रुख पाई।। नाथ भरतु पुरजन महतारी। सोक बिकल बनबास दुखारी।। सहित समाज राउ मिथिलेसू। बहुत दिवस भए सहत कलेसू।। उचित होइ सोइ कीजिअ नाथा। हित सबही कर रौरें हाथा।। अस कहि अति सकुचे रघुराऊ। मुनि पुलके लखि सीलु सुभाऊ।। तुम्ह बिनु राम सकल सुख साजा। नरक सरिस दुहु राज समाजा।।

As the king and queen (Janaka and Sunayana) were thus fondly recounting the virtues of Sri Rama and Bharata the night passed like an instant. At daybreak both the royal camps awoke and after finishing their ablutions proceeded to worship gods. Performing His ablutions the Lord of Raghus called on His Guru and after adoring his feet and receiving his tacit permission said,"Holy sir, Bharata, the citizens and my mothers are all stricken with grief and inconvenienced by their sojourn in the woods. The king of Mithila too and his followers have been enduring hardships for many days past. Therefore, my lord, do what is advisable under the circumstances. The welfare of all lies in your hands." So saying Sri Rama felt much embarrassed. And the sage was thrilled with joy when he saw His amiability and kind disposition. "Without you, Rama, all amenities of life are like hell to both the royal camps.

"Possessed of infinite virtues and a man above comparison, know Bharata alone to be the like of Bharata. Can Mount Sumeru be likened to a seer?* Hence the wit of the race of poets was confused (in finding a comparison for him).

अगम सबहि बरनत बरबरनी। जिमि जलहीन मीन गमु धरनी।। भरत अमित महिमा सुनु रानी। जानहिं रामु न सकहिं बखानी।। बरनि सप्रेम भरत अनुभाऊ। तिय जिय की रुचि लखि कह राऊ।। बहुरहिं लखनु भरतु बन जाहीं। सब कर भल सब के मन माहीं।। देबि परंतु भरत रघुबर की। प्रीति प्रतीति जाइ नहिं तरकी।। भरतु अवधि सनेह ममता की। जद्यपि रामु सीम समता की।। परमारथ स्वारथ सुख सारे। भरत न सपनेहुँ मनहुँ निहारे।। साधन सिद्ध राम पग नेहू।।मोहि लखि परत भरत मत एहू।।

"The greatness of Bharata, O fair lady, baffles all who attempt to describe it, even as a fish cannot glide on dry land. Listen, O beloved queen: Bharata's inestimable glory is known to Sri Rama alone; but he too cannot describe it." Having thus lovingly described Bharata's glory the king, who knew his queen's mind, continued, "If Laksmana returns to Ayodhya and Bharata accompanies Sri Rama to the woods, it will be well for all and that is what everyone wants. But the mutual affection and confidence, O good lady, of Bharata and Sri Rama (the chief of Raghus) are beyond one's conception. Even though Sri Rama is the highest example of even-mindedness, Bharata is the perfection of love and attachment. Bharata has never bestowed any thought on his spiritual or worldly interests or personal comforts. Devotion to Sri Rama's feet is at once the means and the end; to my mind this appears to sum up Bharata's creed.

सुनि भूपाल भरत ब्यवहारू। सोन सुगंध सुधा ससि सारू।। मूदे सजल नयन पुलके तन। सुजसु सराहन लगे मुदित मन।। सावधान सुनु सुमुखि सुलोचनि। भरत कथा भव बंध बिमोचनि।। धरम राजनय ब्रह्मबिचारू। इहाँ जथामति मोर प्रचारू।। सो मति मोरि भरत महिमाही। कहै काह छलि छुअति न छाँही।। बिधि गनपति अहिपति सिव सारद। कबि कोबिद बुध बुद्धि बिसारद।। भरत चरित कीरति करतूती। धरम सील गुन बिमल बिभूती।। समुझत सुनत सुखद सब काहू। सुचि सुरसरि रुचि निदर सुधाहू।।

When the king heard of Bharata's conduct, which was rare as a combination of gold with fragrance or as nectar extracted from the moon,* the king closed his tearful eyes and a thrill ran through his body as he broke out into ecstatic praises of his bright glory. "Listen attentively, O fair-faced and bright-eyed lady; the story of Bharata loosens the bounds of worldly existence. Religion, statecraft and an enquiry about Brahma (the Infinite) are domains to which I have some access according to my own poor lights. But thought acquainted with these subjects, my wits cannot touch the shadow of Bharata's glory even by trick, much less describe it. To Brahma (the Creator), Lord Ganapati (Ganesa) Sesa (the king of serpents), Lord Siva, Sarada (the goddess of learning), seers, sages and wise men and others who are clever in judgment, the story, fame, doings, piety, amiability, goodness and unsullied glory of Bharata are delightful to hear and appreciate. They surpass the celestial stream in purity and even nectar in taste.

भोरेहुँ भरत न पेलिहहिं मनसहुँ राम रजाइ। करिअ न सोचु सनेह बस कहेउ भूप बिलखाइ।।289।।

"Bharata would never think of flouting Sri Rama's orders even unwittingly. We need not, therefore, in our affection give way to anxiety," said the king in choked accents.
