Sanskrit Original
सत्यसंध प्रभु सुर हितकारी। भरत राम आयस अनुसारी।। स्वारथ बिबस बिकल तुम्ह होहू। भरत दोसु नहिं राउर मोहू।। सुनि सुरबर सुरगुर बर बानी। भा प्रमोदु मन मिटी गलानी।। बरषि प्रसून हरषि सुरराऊ। लगे सराहन भरत सुभाऊ।। एहि बिधि भरत चले मग जाहीं। दसा देखि मुनि सिद्ध सिहाहीं।। जबहिं रामु कहि लेहिं उसासा। उमगत पेमु मनहँ चहु पासा।। द्रवहिं बचन सुनि कुलिस पषाना। पुरजन पेमु न जाइ बखाना।। बीच बास करि जमुनहिं आए। निरखि नीरु लोचन जल छाए।।

The Lord is true to His word and a friend of the gods, while Bharata obeys Sri Rama's orders. You are feeling uneasy only because you are dominated by self-interest. Bharata is not to blame at all; it is your ignorance (which is responsible for your uneasiness)." The chief of gods, Indra, was overjoyed at heart to hear these valuable words of the heavenly preceptor and his depression of spirit was gone. The lord of celestials, therefore, rained down flowers and gladly began to extol Bharata's noble disposition. In this way Bharata went on his way, while sages and Siddhas were filled with envy at the sight of his condition. Whenever he heaved a long sigh with the word 'Rama' on his lips, it seemed as if love overflowed on all sides. Even adamant and stones melted at his words; the love of the citizens was beyond description. Halting at one place on this side the party arrived on the bank of the Yamuna and Bharata's eyes were filled with tears as he gazed on its dark water (which reminded him of Sri Rama's swarthy form).
