Doha 227
बहुरि सोचबस भे सियरवनू। कारन कवन भरत आगवनू॥ एक आइ अस कहा बहोरी। सेन संग चतुरंग न थोरी॥१॥
सो सुनि रामहि भा अति सोचू। इत पितु बच इत बंधु सकोचू॥ भरत सुभाउ समुझि मन माहीं। प्रभु चित हित थिति पावत नाहीं॥२॥
समाधान तब भा यह जाने। भरतु कहे महुँ साधु सयाने॥ लखन लखेउ प्रभु हृदयँ खभारू। कहत समय सम नीति बिचारू॥३॥
बिनु पूछें कछु कहउँ गोसाईं। सेवकु समयँ न ढीठ ढिठाईं॥ तुम्ह सर्बग्य सिरोमनि स्वामी। आपनि समुझि कहउँ अनुगामी॥४॥
Meaning
Sītā’s lord, Śrī Rāma, became anxious the very next moment. “What can be the reason of Bharata’s arrival?” Then somebody came and spoke to Him thus: “He has with him a large army complete in its four limbs (viz., foot, horse, elephants and chariots).” (1) Hearing this Śrī Rāma became deeply thoughtful. On the one hand there was His father’s command, on the other His regard for His younger brother, Bharata. Realizing Bharata’s disposition in His heart, the Lord found no proposition to fix His mind upon. (2) Then He consoled Himself with the thought that Bharata was submissive, good and reasonable. Lakṣmaṇa saw that the Lord was anxious at heart and spoke what a pragmatic view of the situation demanded. (3) “I make bold, my lord, to say something unasked; but a servant ceases to be impertinent if his impertinence is not inopportune. You, my master, are the crest-jewel of the all-wise; yet I, your servant, tell you my own mind: (4)
नाथ सुहृद सुठि सरल चित सील सनेह निधान। सब पर प्रीति प्रतीति जियँ जानिअ आपु समान॥२२७॥
Meaning
“You, my master, are loving by nature and guileless of heart and a repository of amiability and affection. You love and trust everyone and know all to be just like yourself. (227)
