Doha 220
सत्यसंध प्रभु सुर हितकारी। भरत राम आयस अनुसारी॥ स्वारथ बिबस बिकल तुम्ह होहू। भरत दोसु नहिं राउर मोहू॥१॥
सुनि सुरबर सुरगुर बर बानी। भा प्रमोदु मन मिटी गलानी॥ बरषि प्रसून हरषि सुरराऊ। लगे सराहन भरत सुभाऊ॥२॥
एहि बिधि भरत चले मग जाहीं। दसा देखि मुनि सिद्ध सिहाहीं॥ जबहिं रामु कहि लेहिं उसासा। उमगत पेमु मनहुँ चहु पासा॥३॥
द्रवहिं बचन सुनि कुलिस पषाना। पुरजन पेमु न जाइ बखाना॥ बीच बास करि जमुनहिं आए। निरखि नीरु लोचन जल छाए॥४॥
Meaning
“The Lord is true to His word and a benefactor of the gods, while Bharata obeys Śrī Rāma’s orders. You are feeling uneasy only because you are dominated by selfish interest. Bharata is not to blame at all; it is your own infatuation which is responsible for your uneasiness.” (1) The chief of gods, Indra, was overjoyed at heart to hear these valuable words of the gods’ preceptor and the depression of his spirit was gone. The lord of celestials, therefore, rained down flowers and gladly began to extol Bharata’s noble disposition. (2) In this way Bharata went on his way, while sages and Siddhas extolled him on seeing his condition (surcharged with love). Whenever he heaved a long sigh with the word ‘Rāma’ on his lips, it seemed as if love overflowed on all sides. (3) Even adamant and stones melted at his words (full of love and humbleness); the love of the citizens (of Ayodhyā) was beyond description. Halting at one place on this side the party arrived on the bank of the Yamunā and Bharata’s eyes were filled with tears as he gazed at its dark waters (which reminded him of Śrī Rāma’s swarthy form). (4)
रघुबर बरन बिलोकि बर बारि समेत समाज। होत मगन बारिधि बिरह चढ़े बिबेक जहाज॥२२०॥
Meaning
At the sight of the lovely stream that possessed the same hue as the person of Śrī Rāma, Bharata and his people were plunged into an ocean of grief on account of separation from Śrī Rāma and were saved from drowning only by boarding the bark of discretion. (220)
