# Ayodhya Kand · Doha 186

**चौ०** 
> घर घर साजहिं बाहन नाना। हरषु हृदयँ परभात पयाना॥  
> भरत जाइ घर कीन्ह बिचारू। नगरु बाजि गज भवन भँडारू॥१॥

**चौ०** 
> संपति सब रघुपति कै आही। जौं बिनु जतन चलौं तजि ताही॥  
> तौ परिनाम न मोरि भलाई। पाप सिरोमनि साइँ दोहाई॥२॥

**चौ०** 
> करइ स्वामि हित सेवकु सोई। दूषन कोटि देइ किन कोई॥  
> अस बिचारि सुचि सेवक बोले। जे सपनेहुँ निज धरम न डोले॥३॥

**चौ०** 
> कहि सबु मरमु धरमु भल भाषा। जो जेहि लायक सो तेहिं राखा॥  
> करि सबु जतनु राखि रखवारे। राम मातु पहिं भरतु सिधारे॥४॥

Meaning: In every house they got ready vehicles of various kinds; their whole-being rejoiced at the thought of starting early next morning. On reaching his own apartments Bharata thought to himself: “The city, horses, elephants, houses and the treasury, (1)

“every thing belongs to Śrī Raghunātha. If I leave it unprotected, the result will not be good for me; for disloyalty to one’s master is the greatest of all sins. (2)

“A servant is he who serves the interests of his master, no matter if anyone brings millions of imputations against him.” Pondering thus he summoned faithful servants who had never dreamt of flinching from their duty. (3)

Confiding to them all the secrets, he taught them their paramount duty and entrusted them with the work for which they were severally fit. After making all arrangements and posting guards, Bharata went to Śrī Rāma’s mother, Kausalyā. (4)

**दो०** 
> आरत जननी जानि सब भरत सनेह सुजान।  
> कहेउ बनावन पालकीं सजन सुखासन जान॥१८६॥

Meaning: Knowing all the mothers in distress, Bharata, who understood the ways of love, ordered palanquins to be got ready and sedan-chairs to be equipped. (186)
