# Ayodhya Kand · Doha 205

Bharadvāja shows hospitality to Bharata

**चौ०** 
> जानहुँ रामु कुटिल करि मोही। लोग कहउ गुर साहिब द्रोही॥  
> सीता राम चरन रति मोरें। अनुदिन बढ़उ अनुग्रह तोरें॥१॥

**चौ०** 
> जलदु जनम भरि सुरति बिसारउ। जाचत जलु पबि पाहन डारउ॥  
> चातकु रटनि घटें घटि जाई। बढ़ें प्रेमु सब भाँति भलाई॥२॥

**चौ०** 
> कनकहिं बान चढ़इ जिमि दाहें। तिमि प्रियतम पद नेम निबाहें॥  
> भरत बचन सुनि माझ त्रिबेनी। भइ मृदु बानि सुमंगल देनी॥३॥

**चौ०** 
> तात भरत तुम्ह सब बिधि साधू। राम चरन अनुराग अगाधू॥  
> बादि गलानि करहु मन माहीं। तुम्ह सम रामहि कोउ प्रिय नाहीं॥४॥

Meaning: “Let Śrī Rāma take me for a wicked fellow, and let the people call me an enemy of my preceptor and master. All the same by your grace may my devotion to the feet of Sītā and Śrī Rāma grow day by day. (1)

“The cloud may neglect the Cātaka bird all its life and on its asking for water may discharge thunderbolt and hail. But the bird will fall in the estimation of others if it ceases to call out to the cloud. It will gain in everyway only by intensifying its love for the latter. (2)

“Just as gold gets brighter by being put into the fire, even so the lover shines by sticking to his vow of devotion to the feet of his most beloved lord.” In response to Bharata’s prayer there came a sweet and benedictory voice from the midst of the Triveṇī: (3)

“Dear Bharata, you are a devout saint (Sādhu) in all respects and your love for Śrī Rāma’s feet is unbounded. In vain do you harbour depressing thoughts in your mind; there is no one so dear to Śrī Rāma as you are.” (4)

**दो०** 
> तनु पुलकेउ हियँ हरषु सुनि बेनि बचन अनुकूल।  
> भरत धन्य कहि धन्य सुर हरषित बरषहिं फूल॥२०५॥

Meaning: A thrill ran through Bharata's body and his soul rejoiced to hear the agreeable words of the (deity presiding over) Triveṇī. Exclaiming "Bharata is praiseworthy, all praise to him!" the gods joyfully rained flowers. (205)
