Doha 313
भोर न्हाइ सबु जुरा समाजू। भरत भूमिसुर तेरहुति राजू॥ भल दिन आजु जानि मन माहीं। रामु कृपाल कहत सकुचाहीं॥१॥
गुर नृप भरत सभा अवलोकी। सकुचि राम फिरि अवनि बिलोकी॥ सील सराहि सभा सब सोची। कहुँ न राम सम स्वामि सँकोची॥२॥
भरत सुजान राम रुख देखी। उठि सप्रेम धरि धीर बिसेषी॥ करि दंडवत कहत कर जोरी। राखीं नाथ सकल रुचि मोरी॥३॥
मोहि लगि सहेउ सबहिंं संतापू। बहुत भाँति दुखु पावा आपू॥ अब गोसाइँ मोहि देउ रजाई। सेवौं अवध अवधि भरि जाई॥४॥
Meaning
On the morrow, after bathing, the whole assembly met again—Bharata, the Brāhmaṇas and Janaka, the King of Tirahuta (Mithilā). Though knowing at heart that the day was auspicious (for undertaking a return journey to Ayodhyā) the tender-hearted Śrī Rāma hesitated to say so. (1) Śrī Rāma looked at His preceptor, sage Vasiṣṭha, King Janaka and the assembly; but the very next moment He was bashful and turned His eyes to the ground. Praising His regard for others’ feelings the whole assembly thought that nowhere could one find a master so considerate as Śrī Rāma. (2) The sagacious Bharata, having perceived Śrī Rāma’s wish, lovingly rose and imposing great restraint upon himself, fell prostrate on the ground. Then, folding his hands, he lovingly said, “My lord, you have granted me all my desires. (3) “For my sake everybody has suffered a great deal of trouble and you too have been put to much inconvenience. Now, my lord, give me your permission to leave, so that I may go back to Ayodhyā and remain there till the term of the exile is over. (4)
जेहिं उपाय पुनि पाय जनु देखै दीनदयाल। सो सिख देइअ अवधि लगि कोसलपाल कृपाल॥३१३॥
Meaning
“Admonish me, O gracious Lord of Kosala, and tell me some means by practising which for the remaining period of your exile, this your servant (myself) may be enabled to behold the feet of his merciful master (Yourself) again. (313)
