कैकइ सुअन जोग जग जोई । चतुर बिरञ्चि दीन्ह मोहि सोई ॥
दसरथ तनय राम लघु भाई । दीन्हि मोहि विधि बादि बड़ाई ॥
kaikai suana joga jaga joī | catura birañci dīnha mohi soī ||
dasaratha tanaya rāma laghu bhāī | dīnhi mohi vidhi bādi bar̤āī ||

What happens in this chapter
Bharata answers the elders and Kaushalya's love
Whatever in the world suits a son of Kaikeyi, Bharata says, clever Brahma has given me. Being called Dasharatha's son and Rama's younger brother is a greatness fate gave me in vain. You all tell me to take the tilak, and the king's order is good for all. Leave me and my wicked mother aside, and who will say this was done well? Who in all creation, except me, does not hold Sita and Rama dear as life? It is my evil day; no one is at fault. You speak from love and doubt, and all you say is fitting. Rama's mother, simple-hearted and fond of me, speaks out of affection, seeing my misery.
तुम्ह सब कहहु कढ़ावन टीका । राय-रजायसु सब कहँ नीका ॥
उतर देउँ केहि बिधि केहि केही । कहहु सुखेन जथा रुचि जेही ॥
tumha saba kahahu kar̤hāvana ṭīkā | rāya-rajāyasu saba kaham̐ nīkā ||
utara deum̐ kehi bidhi kehi kehī | kahahu sukhena jathā ruci jehī ||
मोहि कुमातु समेत बिहाई । कहहु कहिहि के कीन्ह भलाई ॥
मो बिनु को सचराचर माहीं । जेहि सिय रामु प्रानप्रिय नाहीँ ॥
mohi kumātu sameta bihāī | kahahu kahihi ke kīnha bhalāī ||
mo binu ko sacarācara māhīṃ | jehi siya rāmu prānapriya nāhīm̐ ||
परम-हानि सब कहँ बड़ लाहू । अदिन मोर नहिं दूषन काहू ॥
संसय-सील प्रेम बस अहहू । सबइ उचित सब जो कछु कहहू ॥
parama-hāni saba kaham̐ bar̤a lāhū | adina mora nahiṃ dūṣana kāhū ||
saṃsaya-sīla prema basa ahahū | sabai ucita saba jo kachu kahahū ||
राम मातु सुठि सरल चित, मो पर प्रेम बिसेखि ।
कहइ सुभाय सनेह बस, मोरि दीनता देखि ॥
rāma mātu suṭhi sarala cita, mo para prema bisekhi |
kahai subhāya saneha basa, mori dīnatā dekhi ||
