Doha 239
सखा समेत मनोहर जोटा। लखेउ न लखन सघन बन ओटा॥ भरत दीख प्रभु आश्रमु पावन। सकल सुमंगल सदनु सुहावन॥१॥
करत प्रबेस मिटे दुख दावा। जनु जोगीं परमारथु पावा॥ देखे भरत लखन प्रभु आगे। पूँछे बचन कहत अनुरागे॥२॥
सीस जटा कटि मुनि पट बाँधें। तून कसें कर सरु धनु काँधें॥ बेदी पर मुनि साधु समाजू। सीय सहित राजत रघुराजू॥ ३ ॥
बलकल बसन जटिल तनु स्यामा। जनु मुनि बेष कीन्ह रति कामा॥ कर कमलनि धनु सायकु फेरत। जिय की जरनि हरत हँसि हेरत॥४॥
Meaning
The two charming brothers and their friend Guha could not be seen by Lakṣmaṇa, screened as they were by a dense thicket. Bharata, however, saw the holy and lovely hermitage of his lord, which was an abode of all fair blessings. (1) Even as he entered it, his woe and affliction disappeared; it seemed as though a Yogī (mystic) had realized the supreme truth. Bharata saw Lakṣmaṇa standing before the Lord and affectionately answering His queries. (2) He wore matted hair on his head and had a hermit’s robe girt about his loins. Besides there was a quiver fastened to his back and he bore an arrow in his hand and a bow slung across his shoulder. On the altar in the midst of an assembly of hermits and holy men shone Sītā and Śrī Raghunātha. (3) Śrī Rāma was clad in the bark of trees and had matted hair on His head and a swarthy complexion; it seemed as though Rati and the god of love had appeared there in hermit’s garb. He was revolving His bow and arrow between His lotus hands and would dispel by one smiling glance the anguish of one’s soul. (4)
लसत मंजु मुनि मंडली मध्य सीय रघुचंदु। ग्यान सभाँ जनु तनु धरें भगति सच्चिदानंदु॥२३९॥
Meaning
In the midst of a charming ring of hermits Sītā and Śrī Rāma shone forth like Devotion and the Supreme Spirit (who is Truth, Consciousness and Bliss combined) incarnated, as it were, in a circle of wisdom. (239)
