Doha 314
Returning to Ayodhyā, Bharata places the Lord’s sandals on the throne and takes up his residence at Nandigrāma; the virtue of listening to Bharata’s story
पुरजन परिजन प्रजा गोसाईं। सब सुचि सरस सनेहँ सगाईं॥ राउर बदि भल भव दुख दाहू। प्रभु बिनु बादि परम पद लाहू॥१॥
स्वामि सुजानु जानि सब ही की। रुचि लालसा रहनि जन जी की॥ प्रनतपालु पालिहि सब काहू। देउ दुहू दिसि ओर निबाहू॥२॥
अस मोहि सब बिधि भूरि भरोसो। किएँ बिचारु न सोचु खरो सो॥ आरति मोर नाथ कर छोहू। दुहुँ मिलि कीन्ह ढीठु हठि मोहू॥३॥
यह बड़ दोषु दूरि करि स्वामी। तजि सकोच सिखइअ अनुगामी॥ भरत बिनय सुनि सबहिं प्रसंसी। खीर नीर बिबरन गति हंसी॥४॥
Meaning
“Your citizens, your kinsmen and your other subjects too, my lord, are all immersed in pious and hallowed bliss because of the love they bear for you and the relationship they have with you. It is better to be tormented by the agonies of birth and death for your sake; while, without you, my lord, it is no use attaining the supreme state of blessedness. (1) “Knowing the hearts of all and, even so, the liking and longings of your servant’s heart as well as his way of life, my all-wise lord, who is a protector of the suppliant, will protect all, and will take care of them, both in this world and in the next, till the very last. (2) “I am fully confident of this in every way; and when I ponder over this, I am not in the least disturbed about it. My own distress and my lord’s kindness have both combined to make me impudent. (3) “Correcting this great fault of mine, my master, instruct this servant of yours without reserve.” Everyone who heard Bharata’s prayer applauded it and said, “This supplication of Bharata is like that of a swan that sifts milk from water.” (4)
दीनबंधु सुनि बंधु के बचन दीन छलहीन। देस काल अवसर सरिस बोले रामु प्रबीन॥३१४॥
Meaning
The all-wise Śrī Rāma, the befriender of the afflicted, when He heard the meek and guileless words of His brother, Bharata, replied in terms appropriate to the place, time and occasion: (314)
