Doha 210
कीरति बिधु तुम्ह कीन्ह अनूपा। जहँ बस राम पेम मृगरूपा॥ तात गलानि करहु जियँ जाएँ। डरहु दरिद्रहि पारसु पाएँ॥१॥
सुनहु भरत हम झूठ न कहहीं। उदासीन तापस बन रहहीं॥ सब साधन कर सुफल सुहावा। लखन राम सिय दरसनु पावा॥२॥
तेहि फल कर फलु दरस तुम्हारा। सहित पयाग सुभाग हमारा॥ भरत धन्य तुम्ह जसु जगु जयऊ। कहि अस पेम मगन मुनि भयऊ॥३॥
सुनि मुनि बचन सभासद हरषे। साधु सराहि सुमन सुर बरषे॥ धन्य धन्य धुनि गगन पयागा। सुनि सुनि भरतु मगन अनुरागा॥४॥
Meaning
“You have created the peerless moon of your glory, which bears on it the figure of a deer* in the shape of love for Śrī Rāma. You feel distressed at heart, dear son, for no purpose: you fear poverty even though you have found the philosopher’s stone. (1) * The spot in the moon is represented by the Hindus as a deer even as it is presented in European nurseries as the form of a man. “Listen, Bharata—I tell no falsehood, I am an ascetic dwelling in the forest and having no concern with the world—I obtained the happy and excellent reward of all spiritual practices when I saw Lakṣmaṇa, Rāma and Sītā. (2) “The reward of that reward itself is your sight, which is a great good fortune not only for me, but for the whole of Prayāga. Bharata, you deserve all praise since by your glory you have won over the entire world.” So saying, the sage was overwhelmed with love. (3) Those who were assembled there rejoiced to hear the sage’s words, while the gods acclaimed Bharata and rained flowers on him. Even as Bharata heard the loud applause in the heavens as well as in Prayāga, he was overwhelmed with emotion. (4)
पुलक गात हियँ रामु सिय सजल सरोरुह नैन। करि प्रनामु मुनि मंडलिहि बोले गदगद बैन॥२१०॥
Meaning
Experiencing a thrill of joy all over his body, with his heart full of Sītā and Śrī Rāma and his lotus eyes moist with tears, Bharata made obeisance to the assembled sages and thus spoke in a voice choked with emotion: (210)
