Doha 198
जहँ तहँ लोगन्ह डेरा कीन्हा। भरत सोधु सबही कर लीन्हा॥ सुर सेवा करि आयसु पाई। राम मातु पहिं गे दोउ भाई॥१॥
चरन चाँपि कहि कहि मृदु बानी। जननीं सकल भरत सनमानी॥ भाइहि सौंपि मातु सेवकाई। आपु निषादहि लीन्ह बोलाई॥ २ ॥
चले सखा कर सों कर जोरें। सिथिल सरीरु सनेह न थोरें॥ पूँछत सखहि सो ठाउँ देखाऊ। नेकु नयन मन जरनि जुड़ाऊ॥३॥
जहँ सिय रामु लखनु निसि सोए। कहत भरे जल लोचन कोए॥ भरत बचन सुनि भयउ बिषादू। तुरत तहाँ लइ गयउ निषादू॥४॥
Meaning
The people took up their lodgings at different places and Bharata made enquiries (whether all had settled comfortably). After worshipping the gods and taking leave of them, the two brothers, Bharata and Śatrughna, went up to Śrī Rāma’s mother, Kausalyā, (1) Bharata paid respect to all his mothers by lovingly pressing their feet and speaking to each in polite terms. Then entrusting his brother with the service of his mothers, he himself summoned the Niṣāda chief, (2) and went hand in hand with him, his body overpowered with great love and emotions. He asked his friend to show him the spot—and thereby soothe the agony of his eyes and mind to some extent— (3) where Sītā, Śrī Rāma and Lakṣmaṇa had slept at night. Even as he spoke, the corners of his eyes were filled with tears. The Niṣāda chief was distressed to hear Bharata’s words and presently took him to the spot— (4)
जहँ सिंसुपा पुनीत तर रघुबर किय बिश्रामु। अति सनेहँ सादर भरत कीन्हेउ दंड प्रनामु॥१९८॥
Meaning
where Śrī Raghuvīra had rested under a holy Aśoka tree. With great affection and reverence Bharata prostrated himself there. (198)
