# Ayodhya Kand · Doha 232

**चौ०** 
> तिमिरु तरुन तरनिहि मकु गिलई। गगनु मगन मकु मेघहिं मिलई॥  
> गोपद जल बूड़हिं घटजोनी। सहज छमा बरु छाड़ै छोनी॥१॥

**चौ०** 
> मसक फूँक मकु मेरु उड़ाई। होइ न नृपमदु भरतहि भाई॥  
> लखन तुम्हार सपथ पितु आना। सुचि सुबंधु नहिं भरत समाना॥२॥

**चौ०** 
> सगुनु खीरु अवगुन जलु ताता। मिलइ रचइ परपंचु बिधाता॥  
> भरतु हंस रबिबंस तड़ागा। जनमि कीन्ह गुन दोष बिभागा॥३॥

**चौ०** 
> गहि गुन पय तजि अवगुन बारी। निज जस जगत कीन्हि उजिआरी॥  
> कहत भरत गुन सीलु सुभाऊ। पेम पयोधि मगन रघुराऊ॥४॥

Meaning: “Darkness may swallow the midday sun, and sooner may the heavens be absorbed into a cloud or the jar-born sage Agastya (who is stated to have drunk off the ocean in a single draught) be drowned in the water collected in a cow’s footprint; nay, the earth may abandon its natural forbearance, (1)

“and Mount Meru be blown away by a puff of wind discharged from the mouth of a mosquito; but Bharata will never be intoxicated by kingly power, O brother Lakṣmaṇa, I swear by you as well as by our father that there is no brother so pure and immensely virtuous as Bharata. (2)

“God, dear brother, creates the world by mixing the milk of goodness with the water of evil; while Bharata is a swan, born in the lake of the solar race, that has sifted goodness from evil. (3)

“Choosing the milk of goodness and discarding the water of evil he has illumined the world by his glory.” Even as Śrī Raghunātha extolled Bharata’s virtues, amiability and noble disposition, He was engulfed in an ocean of love. (4)

**दो०** 
> सुनि रघुबर बानी बिबुध देखि भरत पर हेतु।  
> सकल सराहत राम सो प्रभु को कृपानिकेतु॥२३२॥

Meaning: On hearing the speech of Śrī Rāma and seeing His affection for Bharata all the gods were full of applause and said, “Can you name such a gracious lord as Śrī Rāma? (232)
