Doha 266
सीतापति सेवक सेवकाई। कामधेनु सय सरिस सुहाई॥ भरत भगति तुम्हरें मन आई। तजहु सोचु बिधि बात बनाई॥१॥
देखु देवपति भरत प्रभाऊ। सहज सुभायँ बिबस रघुराऊ॥ मन थिर करहु देव डरु नाहीं। भरतहि जानि राम परिछाहीं॥२॥
सुनि सुरगुर सुर संमत सोचू। अंतरजामी प्रभुहि सकोचू॥ निज सिर भारु भरत जियँ जाना। करत कोटि बिधि उर अनुमाना॥३॥
करि बिचारु मन दीन्ही ठीका। राम रजायस आपन नीका॥ निज पन तजि राखेउ पनु मोरा। छोहु सनेहु कीन्ह नहिं थोरा॥४॥

O gods, there is no cause for fear.” (2) The Lord, who has access to all hearts, became bashful when He came to know of the conference between the gods and their preceptor, sage Bṛhaspati, and of the anxiety of the former. Bharata now felt in his heart that the whole responsibility rested on his shoulders; he, therefore, entertained in his mind propositions of innumerable kinds. (3) After much deliberation he came to the conclusion that his welfare lay in obeying Śrī Rāma. “He has kept my vow, relinquishing his own, and has thereby shown not a little kindness and love. (4)
कीन्ह अनुग्रह अमित अति सब बिधि सीतानाथ। करि प्रनामु बोले भरतु जोरि जलज जुग हाथ॥२६६॥
Meaning
“Śrī Jānakīnātha has done me a great and unbounded favour in everyway.” Then, bowing his head and folding his lotus hands, Bharata said: (266)
