Doha 213
सुनि मुनि बचन भरत हियँ सोचू। भयउ कुअवसर कठिन सँकोचू॥ जानि गरुइ गुर गिरा बहोरी। चरन बंदि बोले कर जोरी॥१॥
सिर धरि आयसु करिअ तुम्हारा। परम धरम यहु नाथ हमारा॥ भरत बचन मुनिबर मन भाए। सुचि सेवक सिष निकट बोलाए॥२॥
चाहिअ कीन्हि भरत पहुनाई। कंद मूल फल आनहु जाई॥ भलेहिं नाथ कहि तिन्ह सिर नाए। प्रमुदित निज निज काज सिधाए॥३॥
मुनिहि सोच पाहुन बड़ नेवता। तसि पूजा चाहिअ जस देवता॥ सुनि रिधि सिधि अनिमादिक आईं। आयसु होइ सो करहिं गोसाईं॥४॥
Meaning
On hearing the sage’s words Bharata became pensive; for he was faced with a delicate situation at an odd time. Then, realizing the sanctity and righteousness of an elder’s command, he adored the sage’s feet and replied with folded hands: (1) “Your orders must be solemnly obeyed; this is my paramount duty, my lord.” Bharata’s reply pleased the great sage Bharadvāja, who called his trusty servants and pupils by his side: (2) “Bharata has to be entertained; therefore, go and bring bulbs, roots and fruits.” They bowed their heads with the words “Very well, Sir!” and most gladly proceeded to take charge of their respective duties. (3) The sage anxiously thought that he had invited a distinguished guest and that a deity must be worshipped according to his or her rank. Hearing of this ‘riches’ of various kinds (Riddhis) and supernatural powers (Siddhis) like Aṇimā (the power of assuming atomic size) appeared (in a visible form) and said, “We are ready to do your bidding, O lord.” (4)
राम बिरह ब्याकुल भरतु सानुज सहित समाज। पहुनाई करि हरहु श्रम कहा मुदित मुनिराज॥२१३॥
Meaning
“Bharata as well as his younger brother Śatrughna and the whole assemblage are distressed due to their separation from Śrī Rāma. Entertain them and relieve them of their fatigue,” the great sage gladly said. (213)
