Sanskrit Original
सीतापति सेवक सेवकाई। कामधेनु सय सरिस सुहाई।। भरत भगति तुम्हरें मन आई। तजहु सोचु बिधि बात बनाई।। देखु देवपति भरत प्रभाऊ। सहज सुभायँ बिबस रघुराऊ।। मन थिर करहु देव डरु नाहीं। भरतहि जानि राम परिछाहीं।। सुनो सुरगुर सुर संमत सोचू। अंतरजामी प्रभुहि सकोचू।। निज सिर भारु भरत जियँ जाना। करत कोटि बिधि उर अनुमाना।। करि बिचारु मन दीन्ही ठीका। राम रजायस आपन नीका।। निज पन तजि राखेउ पनु मोरा। छोहु सनेहु कीन्ह नहिं थोरा।।

"The service of a devotee of Sita's lord is as good as a hundred cows of plenty (i.e., it fulfils all one's desires). Now that devotion to Bharata has appealed to your mind worry no more; for God has accomplished your object. See Bharata's greatness O king of gods; the Lord of Raghus is completely under his sway as a matter of course. Knowing Bharata to be Sri Rama's shadow, make your mind easy. O gods; there is no cause for fear." The Lord, who has access to all hearts, felt uncomfortable when He came to know of the conference between the gods and their preceptor (the sage Brhaspati) and of the anxiety of the former. Bharata now felt in his heart that the whole responsibility rested on his shoulders; he, therefore, entertained in his mind propositions of innumerable kinds. After much deliberation he came to the conclusion that his welfare consisted in obeying Sri Rama. "He has kept my vow, relinquishing his own, and has thereby shown not a little kindness and love."
