Sanskrit Original
सभा सकुच बस भरत निहारी। रामबंधु धरि धीरजु भारी।। कुसमउ देखि सनेहु सँभारा। बढ़त बिंधि जिमि घटज निवारा।। सोक कनकलोचन मति छोनी। हरी बिमल गुन गन जगजोनी।। भरत बिबेक बराहँ बिसाला। अनायास उधरी तेहि काला।। करि प्रनामु सब कहँ कर जोरे। रामु राउ गुर साधु निहोरे।। छमब आजु अति अनुचित मोरा। कहउँ बदन मृदु बचन कठोरा।। हियँ सुमिरी सारदा सुहाई। मानस तें मुख पंकज आई।। बिमल बिबेक धरम नय साली। भरत भारती मंजु मराली।।

When Bharata saw the assembly confused, Sri Rama's brother exercised great self-restraint and realizing the unfavourable situation he controlled his emotion even as the jar-born sage Agastya* had arrested the growth of the Vindhya range. The demon Hiranyaksa in the form of grief had carried away the globe in the shape of the assembly's wit, which was the source of the entire creation in the form of a host of virtues, when the gigantic boar of Bharata's discretion playfully delivered the same in no time†. Bharata bowed his head and joined his palms before all and thus prayed to Sri Rama, King Janaka, his preceptor (the sage Vasistha) and other holy men present there, "With my juvenile lips I am going to make a harsh statement. Kindly forgive today this most unbecoming act of mine." He now invoked in his heart the charming goddess Sarada, who came from the Manasarovara lake of his mind to his lotus-like mouth. Bharata's speech, which was full of pure wisdom, piety and prudence, resembled a lovely cygnet (in that it possessed the virtue of sifting goodness from evil).
