Doha 308
एकु मनोरथु बड़ मन माहीं। सभयँ सकोच जात कहि नाहीं॥ कहहु तात प्रभु आयसु पाई। बोले बानि सनेह सुहाई॥१॥
चित्रकूट सुचि थल तीरथ बन। खग मृग सर सरि निर्झर गिरिगन॥ प्रभु पद अंकित अवनि बिसेषी। आयसु होइ त आवौं देखी॥२॥
अवसि अत्रि आयसु सिर धरहू। तात बिगतभय कानन चरहू॥ मुनि प्रसाद बनु मंगल दाता। पावन परम सुहावन भ्राता॥३॥
रिषिनायकु जहँ आयसु देहीं। राखेहु तीरथ जलु थल तेहीं॥ सुनि प्रभु बचन भरत सुखु पावा। मुनि पद कमल मुदित सिरु नावा॥४॥
Meaning
“I have one great longing at heart; but due to fear and diffidence I am unable to express it.” “Tell me, dear brother, what it is.” Thus receiving the Lord’s permission Bharata replied in words sweetened by love: (1) “With your permission I would go and see Citrakūṭa with its sacred spots, holy places and woods, birds and beasts, lakes and streams, springs and hills and particularly the land adorned with my lord’s footprints.” (2) “Certainly, do as sage Atri bids you, dear brother, and roam without fear through the woods. It is the sage’s blessing, brother, which makes the forest so auspicious, holy and exquisitely beautiful. (3) “Deposit the water from holy places wherever the chief of sages, Atri, directs you.” On hearing the exhortation of his lord, Bharata rejoiced and cheerfully went and bowed his head at the lotus feet of the sage, Atri. (4)
भरत राम संबादु सुनि सकल सुमंगल मूल। सुर स्वारथी सराहि कुल बरषत सुरतरु फूल॥३०८॥
Meaning
The selfish gods, when they heard this conversation between Bharata and Śrī Rāma, which was a fountain of all sublime blessings, applauded the race of Raghus and rained down flowers from the tree of paradise ‘Kalpataru’. (308)
