Doha 298
भूप भरत पुनि लिए बोलाई। हय गय स्यंदन साजहु जाई॥ चलहु बेगि रघुबीर बराता। सुनत पुलक पूरे दोउ भ्राता॥१॥
भरत सकल साहनी बोलाए। आयसु दीन्ह मुदित उठि धाए॥ रचि रुचि जीन तुरग तिन्ह साजे। बरन बरन बर बाजि बिराजे॥२॥
सुभग सकल सुठि चंचल करनी। अय इव जरत धरत पग धरनी॥ नाना जाति न जाहिं बखाने। निदरि पवनु जनु चहत उड़ाने॥३॥
तिन्ह सब छयल भए असवारा। भरत सरिस बय राजकुमारा॥ सब सुंदर सब भूषनधारी। कर सर चाप तून कटि भारी॥४॥
Meaning
The king next called Bharata and said, “Go and get ready the horses, elephants and chariots and start quickly in procession for Rāma’s marriage.” The two brothers were thrilled to hear this command. (1) Bharata sent for the officers-in-charge of the stables and issued necessary instructions; the latter ran in joy and hastened to execute the orders. They equipped the horses with gorgeous saddles; gallant steeds of different colours stood there in their majesty. (2) They were all beautiful and surpassingly swift-footed; they trod the ground as lightly as though it were red-hot iron. They were of different breeds, which one could hardly enumerate; they were so swift as if they would fly in the air, as it were, outstripping the wind itself. (3) Gallant princes, who were of the same age as Bharata, mounted them. The princes were all handsome and adorned with jewels and had bows and arrows in their hands and a well-equipped quiver fastened at their back. (4)
छरे छबीले छयल सब सूर सुजान नबीन। जुग पदचर असवार प्रति जे असिकला प्रबीन॥२९८॥
Meaning
They were elegant blithesome youths, chosen and skilled warriors all; and with each knight were two footmen, proficient at sword-play. (298)
