# Ayodhya Kand · Doha 270

**चौ०** 
> भरत बचन सुचि सुनि सुर हरषे। साधु सराहि सुमन सुर बरषे॥  
> असमंजस बस अवध नेवासी। प्रमुदित मन तापस बनबासी॥१॥

**चौ०** 
> चुपहिं रहे रघुनाथ सँकोची। प्रभु गति देखि सभा सब सोची॥  
> जनक दूत तेहि अवसर आए। मुनि बसिष्ठँ सुनि बेगि बोलाए॥२॥

**चौ०** 
> करि प्रनाम तिन्ह रामु निहारे। बेषु देखि भए निपट दुखारे॥  
> दूतन्ह मुनिबर बूझी बाता। कहहु बिदेह भूप कुसलाता॥३॥

**चौ०** 
> सुनि सकुचाइ नाइ महि माथा। बोले चर बर जोरें हाथा॥  
> बूझब राउर सादर साईं। कुसल हेतु सो भयउ गोसाईं॥४॥

Meaning: The gods rejoiced to hear Bharata’s guileless speech, and acclaiming him in the words “Well done!” they rained down flowers. The people of Ayodhyā felt much puzzled, while the ascetics and the foresters were greatly delighted. (1)

Śrī Raghunātha, who is very considerate by nature, kept mum; observing His silence the whole assembly felt perturbed. That very moment messengers from King Janaka arrived. When sage Vasiṣṭha heard of it, he sent for them promptly. (2)

After making obeisance they looked at Śrī Rāma and were much grieved to behold His attire (which resembled that of a hermit). The chief of sages, Vasiṣṭha, made enquires from the messengers: “Tell me if all is well with King Janaka.” (3)

The noble messengers felt abashed to hear this. They bowed their head on the ground and replied with folded hands: “Your loving enquiry itself, O lord, has proved conducive to our good, holy Sir. (4)

**दो०** 
> नाहिं त कोसलनाथ कें साथ कुसल गइ नाथ।  
> मिथिला अवध बिसेष तें जगु सब भयउ अनाथ॥२७०॥

Meaning: “Otherwise our welfare, O lord, passed away with the king of Kosala, whose death has left the whole world, particularly Mithilā (Janaka’s capital) and Ayodhyā, masterless. (270)
