Doha 206
प्रमुदित तीरथराज निवासी। बैखानस बटु गृही उदासी॥ कहहिं परसपर मिलि दस पाँचा। भरत सनेहु सीलु सुचि साँचा॥१॥
सुनत राम गुन ग्राम सुहाए। भरद्वाज मुनिबर पहिं आए॥ दंड प्रनामु करत मुनि देखे। मूरतिमंत भाग्य निज लेखे॥२॥
धाइ उठाइ लाइ उर लीन्हे। दीन्हि असीस कृतारथ कीन्हे॥ आसनु दीन्ह नाइ सिरु बैठे। चहत सकुच गृहँ जनु भजि पैठे॥३॥
मुनि पूँछब कछु यह बड़ सोचू। बोले रिषि लखि सीलु सँकोचू॥ सुनहु भरत हम सब सुधि पाई। बिधि करतब पर किछु न बसाई॥४॥
Meaning
The inhabitants of Prayāga (the king of sacred places), including anchorites, religious students, householders and recluses, were transported with joy. Meeting in batches of five to ten they said to one another, “Bharata’s affection and amiability are natural and genuine.” (1) Listening Śrī Rāma’s charming virtues he came to the great sage, Bharadvāja. The sage saw him falling prostrate before him and looked upon him as his own good-luck personified. (2) Running up and lifting him, the sage clasped him to his bosom and gratified him by bestowing his blessings on him. Having been offered a seat by the sage, Bharata sat down with his head bent low, as if he would run away and hide his face in a den of bashfulness. (3) He felt much perturbed at the thought that the sage might ask him some question (what reply he would give). Seeing his amiability and bashfulness, the sage said to him, “Listen, Bharata! I have already heard everything; but we have no control over the doings of Providence. (4)
तुम्ह गलानि जियँ जनि करहु समुझि मातु करतूति। तात कैकइहि दोसु नहिं गई गिरा मति धूति॥२०६॥
Meaning
“Be not distressed at heart by the thought of what your mother has done. It is no fault of Kaikeyī, dear child; it was Sarasvatī, the goddess of speech, who had deluded her mind.” (206)
