# Ayodhya Kand · Doha 194

**चौ०** 
> भेंटत भरतु ताहि अति प्रीती। लोग सिहाहिं प्रेम कै रीती॥  
> धन्य धन्य धुनि मंगल मूला। सुर सराहि तेहि बरिसहिं फूला॥१॥

**चौ०** 
> लोक बेद सब भाँतिहिं नीचा। जासु छाँह छुइ लेइअ सींचा॥  
> तेहि भरि अंक राम लघु भ्राता। मिलत पुलक परिपूरित गाता॥२॥

**चौ०** 
> राम राम कहि जे जमुहाहीं। तिन्हहि न पाप पुंज समुहाहीं॥  
> यह तौ राम लाइ उर लीन्हा। कुल समेत जगु पावन कीन्हा॥३॥

**चौ०** 
> करमनास जलु सुरसरि परई। तेहि को कहहु सीस नहिं धरई॥  
> उलटा नामु जपत जगु जाना। बालमीकि भए ब्रह्म समाना॥४॥

Meaning: Bharata embraced him with great affection and the people admired the mode of his love. Raising a jubilant cry of applause the gods extolled him and rained flowers on him: (1)

“This man is low in the eyes of the world as well as from the point of view of the Vedas, so much so that one must bathe even on crossing his shadow. Yet Śrī Rāma’s younger brother, Bharata, has met him in close embrace, his body thrilling all over with joyous emotions. (2)

“Hosts of sins turn away from them who utter the name of ‘Rāma’ even while yawning. As for this man, he was embraced by Śrī Rāma Himself, who thereby bestowed on him and his family the efficacy of sanctifying the whole world. (3)

“Where the water of the Karmanāsā joins the celestial stream, the Gaṅgā, tell me who would not place it on his head! The whole world knows how Vālmīki became as good as Brahma (God Himself) by repeating the name ‘Rāma’ in the reverse way as ‘Marā’. (4)

**दो०** 
> स्वपच सबर खस जमन जड़ पावँर कोल किरात।  
> रामु कहत पावन परम होत भुवन बिख्यात॥१९४॥

Meaning: “Even a pariah*, a Śabara (Bhīla), a Khāsī, the stupid barbarian and the vile Kola and Kirāta get supremely sanctified and get renowned through all the spheres by uttering the name of Rāma. (194)

* The word used in the original is ‘Śvapaca’ (lit., one who cooks the flesh of a dog, i.e., lives on the flesh of dogs; the Kolas and Kirātas are wild mountain tribes; the Khāsīs are another hilly tribe inhabiting Khasa, a hilly tract in Northern India).
