Sanskrit Original
भूप भरत पुनि लिए बोलाई। हय गय स्यंदन साजहु जाई।। चलहु बेगि रघुबीर बराता। सुनत पुलक पूरे दोउ भ्राता।। भरत सकल साहनी बोलाए। आयसु दीन्ह मुदित उठि धाए।। रचि रुचि जीन तुरग तिन्ह साजे। बरन बरन बर बाजि बिराजे।। सुभग सकल सुठि चंचल करनी। अय इव जरत धरत पग धरनी।। नाना जाति न जाहिं बखाने। निदरि पवनु जनु चहत उड़ाने।। तिन्ह सब छयल भए असवारा। भरत सरिस बय राजकुमारा।। सब सुंदर सब भूषनधारी। कर सर चाप तून कटि भारी।।

The king next called Bharata and said, "Go and prepare the horses, elephants and chariots and start at once in procession for Rama's marriage." The two brothers were thrilled to hear this command. Bharata sent for the officers in charge of the stables and issued necessary instructions; the latter rose in joy and hastened to execute the orders. They equipped the horses with gorgeous saddles; gallant steeds of different colours stood there in their majesty. They were all beautiful and surpassingly swift-footed; they trod the ground as lightly as though it were red-hot iron. They belonged to different breeds, which were more than one could tell; they would fly in the air, as it were, outstripping the wind itself. Gallant princes, who were of the same age as Bharata, mounted them. The princes were all handsome and adorned with jewels and had a bow and arrow in their hands and a well-equipped quiver fastened at their side.
