No small joy fills every heart, like the chataka and peacock hearing thunder. Seeing the good resolve to leave at dawn, all hold Bharata dear as life. Bowing to the sage and to Bharata, they take leave and go home, praising his gentleness and love: blessed is Bharata's life in this world. They tell one another that a great thing has been done, and all prepare to go. Anyone asked to stay behind and guard the house feels as if his throat had been cut. Some say, let no one be told to stay; who does not want the true gain of life? Let that wealth, house, comfort, friend, mother, father and brother burn, they say, which does not gladly help one turn toward Rama's feet.
भा सब कें मन मोदु न थोरा । जनु घन धुनि सुनि चातक-मोरा ॥
चलत प्रात लखि निरनउ नीके । भरत प्रान-प्रिय भे सबही के ॥
bhā saba keṃ mana modu na thorā | janu ghana dhuni suni cātaka-morā ||
calata prāta lakhi niranau nīke | bharata prāna-priya bhe sabahī ke ||
मुनिहिँ बन्दि भरतहि सिर नाई । चले सकल घर बिदा कराई ॥
धन्य भरत जीवन जग माहीं । सील सनेह सराहत जाहीं ॥
munihim̐ bandi bharatahi sira nāī | cale sakala ghara bidā karāī ||
dhanya bharata jīvana jaga māhīṃ | sīla saneha sarāhata jāhīṃ ||
कहहिँ परसपर भा बड़ काजू । सकल चलइ कर साजहिँ साजू ॥
जेहि राखहिँ, रहु घर रखवारी । सो जानइ जनु गरदनि मारी ॥
kahahim̐ parasapara bhā bar̤a kājū | sakala calai kara sājahim̐ sājū ||
jehi rākhahim̐, rahu ghara rakhavārī | so jānai janu garadani mārī ||
कोउ कह रहन कहिय जनि काहू । को न चहइ जग जीवन-लाहू ॥
kou kaha rahana kahiya jani kāhū | ko na cahai jaga jīvana-lāhū ||
जरउ सो सम्पति सदन सुख, सुहृद मातु पितु भाइ ।
सनमुख होत जो राम पद, करइ न सहज सहाइ ॥
jarau so sampati sadana sukha, suhṛda mātu pitu bhāi |
sanamukha hota jo rāma pada, karai na sahaja sahāi ||
