# Uttar Kand · Doha 65

**चौ०** 
> बहुरि राम अभिषेक प्रसंगा। पुनि नृप बचन राज रस भंगा॥  
> पुरबासिन्ह कर बिरह बिषादा। कहेसि राम लछिमन संबादा॥१॥

**चौ०** 
> बिपिन गवन केवट अनुरागा। सुरसरि उतरि निवास प्रयागा॥  
> बालमीक प्रभु मिलन बखाना। चित्रकूट जिमि बसे भगवाना॥२॥

**चौ०** 
> सचिवागवन नगर नृप मरना। भरतागवन प्रेम बहु बरना॥  
> करि नृप क्रिया संग पुरबासी। भरत गए जहँ प्रभु सुख रासी॥ ३॥

**चौ०** 
> पुनि रघुपति बहु बिधि समुझाए। लै पादुका अवधपुर आए॥  
> भरत रहनि सुरपति सुत करनी। प्रभु अरु अत्रि भेंट पुनि बरनी॥४॥

Meaning: Then he narrated the episode of Śrī Rāma’s projected installation (as the Prince-Regent of Ayodhyā) and after that he spoke of the sudden interruption in the festivities connected with the installation due to King Daśaratha’s solemn pledge to Kaikeyī, as well as of the citizens’ agony at Śrī Rāma’s parting. He then told the dialogue between Śrī Rāma and Lakṣmaṇa. (1)

And further described their journey to the forest, the devotion of the boatman and their ferrying across the celestial stream, Gaṅgā, and halt at Prayāga. He further described the Lord’s meeting with the sage Vālmīki and how the divine Śrī Rāma sojourned at Citrakūṭa.(2)

Again, he then told of the minister’s (Sumantra’s) return to the capital, the King’s demise, Bharata’s coming back (from his maternal grandfather’s), as well as his abundant love for Śrī Rāma. He further related how after performing the King’s obsequies, Bharata with all the citizens betook himself to where the All-blissful Lord Śrī Rāma was. (3)

And how when Śrī Raghunātha consoled him in several ways he took the Lord’s sandals and returned to Ayodhyā. Kākabhuśuṇḍi continued and described Bharata’s mode of life at Nandīgrāma, the mischievous conduct of Jayanta, the son of Indra, the lord of the celestials, and the Lord’s meeting with sage Atri. (4)

> कहि बिराध बध जेहि बिधि देह तजी सरभंग।  
> बरनि सुतीछन प्रीति पुनि प्रभु अगस्ति सतसंग॥६५॥

Meaning: After giving an account of Virādha’s death at the hands of the Lord, he told how the sage Śarabhaṅga dropped his body, and further described Sutīkṣṇa’s devotion and also the Lord’s holy communion with sage Agastya. (65)
