Doha 304
भरत सुभाउ न सुगम निगमहूँ। लघु मति चापलता कबि छमहूँ॥ कहत सुनत सति भाउ भरत को। सीय राम पद होइ न रत को॥१॥
सुमिरत भरतहि प्रेमु राम को। जेहि न सुलभु तेहि सरिस बाम को॥ देखि दयाल दसा सबही की। राम सुजान जानि जन जी की॥२॥
धरम धुरीन धीर नय नागर। सत्य सनेह सील सुख सागर॥ देसु कालु लखि समउ समाजू। नीति प्रीति पालक रघुराजू॥३॥
बोले बचन बानि सरबसु से। हित परिनाम सुनत ससि रसु से॥ तात भरत तुम्ह धरम धुरीना। लोक बेद बिद प्रेम प्रबीना॥४॥
Meaning
Bharata’s noble sentiment cannot be easily grasped even by the Vedas; pardon, therefore, O poets! the frivolity of my poor wits. By discussing Bharata’s genuine love and genial temperament who will not get devoted to the feet of Sītā and Śrī Rāma? (1) Is there anyone so vile as the man who is not easily inspired with love for Śrī Rāma by the very thought of Bharata? The kind and virtuous Śrī Rāma, seeing the plight of all and knowing what was in the mind of His own and dear one (Bharata), (2) and after fully considering the place, time, occasion and gathering, the all-merciful and all-knowing Śrī Rāma, the Lord of Raghus, who was an epitome of virtue, self-possessed and prudent, and an ocean of truth, love, amiability and joy, nay, who respected the laws of propriety and was steadfast in His love, (3) spoke words which formed the very essence, as it were, of eloquence and which were salutary in consequence and sweet as nectar to hear: “Dear Bharata, you are an upholder of righteousness, well-versed in propriety as well as in the Vedas and consummate in love. (4)
करम बचन मानस बिमल तुम्ह समान तुम्ह तात। गुर समाज लघु बंधु गुन कुसमयँ किमि कहि जात॥३०४॥
Meaning
“Pure in thought, word and deed, you are your only compeer, dear brother. In this assembly of elders and in such adverse circumstances how can I recount the virtues of a younger brother? (304)
