# Uttar Kand · Doha 2b

Śrī Rāma’s Reception; meeting with Bharata; universal rejoicing on meeting Śrī Rāma

**चौ०** 
> देखत हनूमान अति हरषेउ। पुलक गात लोचन जल बरषेउ॥  
> मन महँ बहुत भाँति सुख मानी। बोलेउ श्रवन सुधा सम बानी॥ १ ॥

**चौ०** 
> जासु बिरहँ सोचहु दिन राती। रटहु निरंतर गुन गन पाँती॥  
> रघुकुल तिलक सुजन सुखदाता। आयउ कुसल देव मुनि त्राता॥ २ ॥

**चौ०** 
> रिपु रन जीति सुजस सुर गावत। सीता सहित अनुज प्रभु आवत॥  
> सुनत बचन बिसरे सब दूखा। तृषावंत जिमि पाइ पियूषा॥ ३ ॥

**चौ०** 
> को तुम्ह तात कहाँ ते आए। मोहि परम प्रिय बचन सुनाए॥  
> मारुत सुत मैं कपि हनुमाना। नामु मोर सुनु कृपानिधाना॥ ४ ॥

**चौ०** 
> दीनबंधु रघुपति कर किंकर। सुनत भरत भेंटेउ उठि सादर॥  
> मिलत प्रेम नहिं हृदयँ समाता। नयन स्रवत जल पुलकित गाता॥ ५ ॥

**चौ०** 
> कपि तव दरस सकल दुख बीते। मिले आजु मोहि राम पिरीते॥  
> बार बार बूझी कुसलाता। तो कहुँ देउँ काह सुनु भ्राता॥ ६ ॥

**चौ०** 
> एहि संदेस सरिस जग माहीं। करि बिचार देखेउँ कछु नाहीं॥  
> नाहिन तात उरिन मैं तोही। अब प्रभु चरित सुनावहु मोही॥ ७ ॥

**चौ०** 
> तब हनुमंत नाइ पद माथा। कहे सकल रघुपति गुन गाथा॥  
> कहु कपि कबहुँ कृपाल गोसाईं। सुमिरहिं मोहि दास की नाईं॥८॥

Meaning: At this sight Hanumān was over-joyed; every hair on his body stood erect and his eyes rained copiously. He felt gratified at heart in everyway and addressed Bharata in words that were as nectar to his ears: (1)

“He, in whose absence you pine day and night, whose innumerable virtues you are incessantly recounting, the glory of Raghu’s line, the delight of the virtuous and the deliverer of gods and sages, Śrī Rāma, has safely arrived. (2)

“Having conquered His foe in battle, with the gods to hymn His praises, the Lord is now on His way with Sītā and Lakṣmaṇa.” The moment Bharata heard these words he forgot all his woes, like a thirsty man who has secured nectar. (3)

“Who are you, my beloved friend, and whence have you come? You have told me a most pleasant news.” “Listen, O fountain of mercy, I am the son of the wind-god, a monkey; Hanuman is my name. (4)

“I am a humble servant of Śrī Raghunātha, the befriender of the meek.” Hearing this, Bharata rose and reverently embraced him. The affection with which he embraced him was too great for his heart to contain; his eyes streamed with tears and every hair on his body stood erect. (5)

“At your very sight, O Hanumān, all my woes have disappeared. In you I have embraced today my beloved Śrī Rāma Himself.” Again and again he enquired after Śrī Rāma’s welfare and said, “Listen, brother, what shall I give you (in return for this happy news)? (6)

“I have pondered and found that there is nothing in this world to match the news you have brought to me. I am thus unable to repay my debt to you. Now, pray! recount to me the doings of my lord.” (7)

Then Hanumān bowed his head at Bharata’s feet and narrated all the meritorious deeds of Śrī Raghunātha. “Tell me, Hanumān, does my benevolent lord ever remember me as one of His servants? (8)

**छं०** 
> निज दास ज्यों रघुबंसभूषन कबहुँ मम सुमिरन कर्यो।  
> सुनि भरत बचन बिनीत अति कपि पुलकि तन चरनन्हि पर्यो॥  
> रघुबीर निज मुख जासु गुन गन कहत अग जग नाथ जो।  
> काहे न होइ बिनीत परम पुनीत सदगुन सिंधु सो॥

Meaning: “Does the Jewel of Raghu’s line, Śrī Rāma, ever remember me as His servant?” Hanumān was thrilled with joy to hear this over-modest query of Bharata and fell at the latter’s feet, saying to himself, ‘How can he be otherwise than humble, the holiest of the holy and an ocean of noble virtues, whose praises Śrī Raghuvīra, the lord of the animate and inanimate creation, recites with His own lips?’

**दो०** 
> राम प्रान प्रिय नाथ तुम्ह सत्य बचन मम तात।  
> पुनि पुनि मिलत भरत सुनि हरष न हृदयँ समात॥२ (क)॥

**सो०** 
> भरत चरन सिरु नाइ तुरित गयउ कपि राम पहिं।  
> कही कुसल सब जाइ हरषि चलेउ प्रभु जान चढ़ि॥२ (ख)॥

Meaning: “To Śrī Rāma you are dear as life, my lord: take my words to be true, Revered Sir.” Hearing this, Bharata embraced Hanumān again and again with a joy which could not be contained in his heart. (2 A)

Bowing his head at Bharata’s feet, Hanumān forthwith returned to Śrī Rāma and drawing close to Him told Him that all was well. The Lord then mounted His aerial car and joyfully proceeded (towards Ayodhyā). (2 B)
