Doha 164
भरतहि देखि मातु उठि धाई। मुरुछित अवनि परी झइँ आई॥ देखत भरतु बिकल भए भारी। परे चरन तन दसा बिसारी॥१॥
मातु तात कहँ देहि देखाई। कहँ सिय रामु लखनु दोउ भाई॥ कैकइ कत जनमी जग माझा। जौं जनमि त भइ काहे न बाँझा॥२॥
कुल कलंकु जेहिं जनमेउ मोही। अपजस भाजन प्रियजन द्रोही॥ को तिभुवन मोहि सरिस अभागी। गति असि तोरि मातु जेहि लागी॥३॥
पितु सुरपुर बन रघुबर केतू। मैं केवल सब अनरथ हेतू॥ धिग मोहि भयउँ बेनु बन आगी। दुसह दाह दुख दूषन भागी॥४॥
Meaning
When mother Kausalyā saw Bharata, she sprang up and ran to meet him; but she felt giddy and dropped unconscious on the ground. Bharata was deeply moved to see her plight and threw himself at her feet forgetting the condition of his own body. (1) “Mother, show me my father. Where is Sītā and the two brothers, Śrī Rāma and Lakṣmaṇa? Why was Kaikeyī born into this world at all? And if born, why did she not remain barren, (2) “instead of bearing me, a blot on my family, the very sink of infamy and an enemy of near and dear ones? Who in the three spheres is so wretched as I, on whose account, mother, you have been reduced to such a plight. (3) “My father is in heaven and Śrī Rāma is in the woods; it is I who like a shooting star am responsible for the whole calamity. Woe be to me, who have proved to be for my family the very fire among the bamboos and a victim of terrible agony, suffering and censure.” (4)
मातु भरत के बचन मृदु सुनि पुनि उठी सँभारि। लिए उठाइ लगाइ उर लोचन मोचति बारि॥१६४॥
Meaning
On hearing Bharata’s tender words, Kausalyā rose with a renewed effort and lifting him clasped him to her bosom, while tears streamed from her eyes. (164)
