Sanskrit Original
कीन्ह निमज्जनु तीरथराजा। नाइ मुनिहि सिरु सहित समाजा।। रिषि आयसु असीस सिर राखी। करि दंडवत बिनय बहु भाषी।। पथ गति कुसल साथ सब लीन्हे। चले चित्रकूटहिं चितु दीन्हें।। रामसखा कर दीन्हें लागू। चलत देह धरि जनु अनुरागू।। नहिं पद त्रान सीस नहिं छाया। पेमु नेमु ब्रतु धरमु अमाया।। लखन राम सिय पंथ कहानी। पूँछत सखहि कहत मृदु बानी।। राम बास थल बिटप बिलोकें। उर अनुराग रहत नहिं रोकैं।। दैखि दसा सुर बरिसहिं फूला। भइ मृदु महि मगु मंगल मूला।।

Bharata and his party took a dip into the Triveni (the confluence of the Ganga, Yamuna and Sarasvati), the chief of sacred places, and bowed their head to the sage (Bharadvaja). Bharata reverently received his orders and blessings and prostrating himself made much supplication. Accompanied by expert guides and taking the whole host alongwith him he proceeded on his journey with his thoughts directed towards Citrakuta. Holding Sri Rama's friend (Guha) by the hand he walked along like the very incarnation of love. He had no shoes and no umbrella over his head; and his love, self-discipline, austerity and piety were unfeigned. He asked his friend (Guha) to give an account of the wanderings of Laksmana, Sri Rama and Sita; while Guha narrated the same in soft accents. When he saw the spots where Sri Rama had rested and the trees under which he had halted the emotion within his breast could not be repressed. The gods who beheld his condition rained down flowers; the earth grew soft and the road became pleasant.
