Doha 197
सृंगबेरपुर भरत दीख जब। भे सनेहँ सब अंग सिथिल तब॥ सोहत दिएँ निषादहि लागू। जनु तनु धरें बिनय अनुरागू॥१॥
एहि बिधि भरत सेनु सबु संगा। दीखि जाइ जग पावनि गंगा॥ रामघाट कहँ कीन्ह प्रनामू। भा मनु मगनु मिले जनु रामू॥२॥
करहिं प्रनाम नगर नर नारी। मुदित ब्रह्ममय बारि निहारी॥ करि मज्जनु मागहिं कर जोरी। रामचंद्र पद प्रीति न थोरी॥३॥
भरत कहेउ सुरसरि तव रेनू। सकल सुखद सेवक सुरधेनू॥ जोरि पानि बर मागउँ एहू। सीय राम पद सहज सनेहू॥४॥
Meaning
When Bharata beheld the town of Śṛṅgaverapura, all his limbs were overpowered with emotion. Leaning on the Niṣāda chief he presented a goodly sight; it appeared as if meekness and love had taken a living form. (1) In this way Bharata with all his army went and saw the stream of the Gaṅgā, which purifies the whole world. He made obeisance to the Ghāṭa where Śrī Rāma had bathed and said His prayers; and his soul was as enraptured as if he had met Śrī Rāma Himself. (2) The men and women of the city bowed low; they were glad to see the divine stream. Taking a dip into the Gaṅgā, they begged with folded hands to be favoured with abundant love for Śrī Rāma’s feet. (3) Bharata exclaimed, “Mother Gaṅgā! your sands are delightful to all and the very cow of plenty to your devotees. With joined palms, therefore, I ask of you only one boon, viz., spontaneous, innate love for the feet of Sītā and Śrī Rāma.” (4)
एहि बिधि मज्जनु भरतु करि गुर अनुसासन पाइ। मातु नहानीं जानि सब डेरा चले लवाइ॥१९७॥
Meaning
In this way after taking a dip into the Gaṅgā and receiving his Guru’s commands, and on learning that all his mothers had finished their bath, he had the tents shifted. (197)
