# Ayodhya Kand · Doha 260

**चौ०** 
> सुनि मुनि बचन राम रुख पाई। गुरु साहिब अनुकूल अघाई॥  
> लखि अपनें सिर सबु छरु भारू। कहि न सकहिं कछु करहिं बिचारू॥१॥

**चौ०** 
> पुलकि सरीर सभाँ भए ठाढ़े। नीरज नयन नेह जल बाढ़े॥  
> कहब मोर मुनिनाथ निबाहा। एहि तें अधिक कहौं मैं काहा॥२॥

**चौ०** 
> मैं जानउँ निज नाथ सुभाऊ। अपराधिहु पर कोह न काऊ॥  
> मो पर कृपा सनेहु बिसेषी। खेलत खुनिस न कबहूँ देखी॥३॥

**चौ०** 
> सिसुपन तें परिहरेउँ न संगू। कबहुँ न कीन्ह मोर मन भंगू॥  
> मैं प्रभु कृपा रीति जियँ जोही। हारेहुँ खेल जितावहिं मोही॥४॥

Meaning: When Bharata heard the sage’s words and understood what was in Śrī Rāma’s mind, he was satisfied that both the preceptor and the master were exceedingly propitious to him. At the same time he realized that the entire responsibility had come upon his own shoulders. He was, therefore, unable to speak a word and became thoughtful. (1)

With his body thrilling all over he stood in the assembly and tears of love gushed forth from his lotus eyes. “The lord of sages has already said what I had to say. Beyond that I have nothing to submit. (2)

“I know the disposition of my master, who is never angry even with the offender. To me he has been particularly kind and affectionate; I have never seen him frown even in play. (3)

“Even from my infancy I never left his company and at no time did he dampen my spirits. I have realized in my heart the benevolent ways of my lord, who would have me win the game even though I had lost it. (4)

**दो०** 
> महूँ सनेह सकोच बस सनमुख कही न बैन।  
> दरसन तृपित न आजु लगि पेम पिआसे नैन॥२६०॥

Meaning: “Overcome by affection and modesty I too never opened my mouth before him. And my eyes, that have been thirsting due to love for His sight, have not been sated to this day. (260)
