# Ayodhya Kand · Doha 318

**चौ०** 
> जहाँ जनक गुर गति मति भोरी। प्राकृत प्रीति कहत बड़ि खोरी॥  
> बरनत रघुबर भरत बियोगू। सुनि कठोर कबि जानिहि लोगू॥१॥

**चौ०** 
> सो सकोच रसु अकथ सुबानी। समउ सनेहु सुमिरि सकुचानी॥  
> भेंटि भरतु रघुबर समुझाए। पुनि रिपुदवनु हरषि हियँ लाए॥२॥

**चौ०** 
> सेवक सचिव भरत रुख पाई। निज निज काज लगे सब जाई॥  
> सुनि दारुन दुखु दुहूँ समाजा। लगे चलन के साजन साजा॥३॥

**चौ०** 
> प्रभु पद पदुम बंदि दोउ भाई। चले सीस धरि राम रजाई॥  
> मुनि तापस बनदेव निहोरी। सब सनमानि बहोरि बहोरी॥४॥

Meaning: The affection of Śrī Rāma and Bharata, which baffled the wits of King Janaka and the preceptor, Vasiṣṭha,—it would be a great blunder to call it mundane. People would account the poet hard-hearted if they heard him describe the parting of Śrī Rāma and Bharata. (1)

The rapture of that delicacy was past all telling; thinking of the love that manifested itself on the occasion even eloquence shrunk into itself. Śrī Rāma (the Chief of Raghus) first embraced Bharata and consoled him; and then He gladly clasped Śatrughna to His bosom. (2)

Reading Bharata’s mind, his servants and ministers all set about their respective duties. The people in both the camps were sore distressed to learn this and began to prepare for the return journey. (3)

The two brothers, Bharata and Śatrughna, adored the lotus feet of their lord and bowing to the orders of Śrī Rāma, they set out on their journey. They supplicated the sages, ascetics and sylvan gods and honoured them again and again. (4)

**दो०** 
> लखनहि भेंटि प्रनामु करि सिर धरि सिय पद धूरि।  
> चले सप्रेम असीस सुनि सकल सुमंगल मूरि॥३१८॥

Meaning: Bharata then embraced Lakṣmaṇa, while Śatrughna bowed to him and both placed the dust of Sītā’s feet on their head; and receiving Her loving benediction, which was the root of all blessings, they reverentially departed. (318)
