Sanskrit Original
मिलनि प्रीति किमि जाइ बखानी। कबिकुल अगम करम मन बानी।। परम पेम पूरन दोउ भाई। मन बुधि चित अहमिति बिसराई।। कहहु सुपेम प्रगट को करई। केहि छाया कबि मति अनुसरई।। कबिहि अरथ आखर बलु साँचा। अनुहरि ताल गतिहि नटु नाचा।। अगम सनेह भरत रघुबर को। जहँ न जाइ मनु बिधि हरि हर को।। सो मैं कुमति कहौं केहि भाँती। बाज सुराग कि गाँडर ताँती।। मिलनि बिलोकि भरत रघुबर की। सुरगन सभय धकधकी धरकी।। समुझाए सुरगुरु जड़ जागे। बरषि प्रसून प्रसंसन लागे।।

How can the affectionate meeting be described ? It was unapproachable to the poet in thought, word and deed alike. The two brothers overflowed with supreme affection; their mind, reason, intellect and ego were all lost. Tell me, who can portray such noble love ? By what shadow will the poet's mind seek to attain to it ? The poet's solid strength lies in the theme to be worked on and the expression he uses; a dancer regulates his movements according to the cadence of the accompanying music. Unapproachable is the affection of Bharata and the Chief of Raghu's line, which is beyond the conception of Brahma (the Creator), Hari (the Protector) and Hara (the Destroyer of the universe). How, then, can I describe it, dull-witted as I am ? Can an instrument strung with a chord made of a species of grass known by the name of Ga° dara produce good music ? When the gods witnessed the meeting of Bharata and the Chief of Raghu's line they were alarmed and their heart began to palpitate. The dull fellows were disillusioned only when their preceptor (the sage Brhaspati) admonished them; and now they rained flowers and gave shouts of applause.
