# Ayodhya Kand · Doha 263

**चौ०** 
> सुनि अति बिकल भरत बर बानी। आरति प्रीति बिनय नय सानी॥  
> सोक मगन सब सभाँ खभारू। मनहुँ कमल बन परेउ तुसारू॥१॥

**चौ०** 
> कहि अनेक बिधि कथा पुरानी। भरत प्रबोधु कीन्ह मुनि ग्यानी॥  
> बोले उचित बचन रघुनंदू। दिनकर कुल कैरव बन चंदू॥२॥

**चौ०** 
> तात जायँ जियँ करहु गलानी। ईस अधीन जीव गति जानी॥  
> तीनि काल तिभुअन मत मोरें। पुन्यसिलोक तात तर तोरें॥३॥

**चौ०** 
> उर आनत तुम्ह पर कुटिलाई। जाइ लोकु परलोकु नसाई॥  
> दोसु देहिं जननिहि जड़ तेई। जिन्ह गुर साधु सभा नहिं सेई॥४॥

Meaning: On hearing the ardent and most impassioned speech of Bharata, which was full of agony, distress, love, humility and prudence, everybody was plunged in sorrow and the assembly became sad as if a bed of lotuses had been smitten by frost. (1)

The enlightened sage comforted Bharata by narrating old legends of various kinds; and the Delighter of Raghus, Śrī Raghunātha, who was a veritable moon to the lily-like solar race, spoke words which were meet and proper: (2)

“You feel inflicted in spirit for nothing, dear brother; know that the destiny of men lies in the hands of God. To my mind, men of holy reputation in all the three spheres of creation and belonging to the past, present and future are very small before you, my darling. (3)

“He who attributes malevolence to you even in his mind will be ruined in this world as well as in the next. As for mother Kaikeyī, they alone blame her who have waited neither on the Guru nor on assemblage of holy men. (4)

**दो०** 
> मिटिहहिं पाप प्रपंच सब अखिल अमंगल भार।  
> लोक सुजसु परलोक सुखु सुमिरत नामु तुम्हार॥२६३॥

Meaning: “With the very invocation of your name all sins and error and all the hosts of evils will be obliterated; nay, it will bring in its train fair renown in this world and happiness hereafter. (263)
