घर घर साजहिं बाहन नाना । हरष हृदयँ परभात पयाना ॥
भरत जाइ घर कीन्ह बिचारू । नगर बाजि गज भवन भंडारू ॥
ghara ghara sājahiṃ bāhana nānā | haraṣa hṛdayam̐ parabhāta payānā ||
bharata jāi ghara kīnha bicārū | nagara bāji gaja bhavana bhaṃḍārū ||

What happens in this chapter
Bharata guards Rama's wealth before leaving
House after house makes ready carriages of every kind, glad to leave at dawn. At home Bharata reflects. The city, horses, elephants, palaces and treasury, all this wealth is Raghupati's. If I leave it unguarded, the end will not be good for me; neglecting the master's goods is the crown of sins. A servant serves his master's interest, though people heap a thousand blames on him. With this thought he calls trusty servants who never swerved from duty even in a dream. Explaining everything, he sets each to the post he is fit for. Having guarded all with care, Bharata goes to Rama's mother. Knowing the mothers are in distress, the wise and loving Bharata orders palanquins and comfortable carriages made ready for them.
सम्पति सब रघुपति के आही । जौं बिनु जतन चलौं-तजि ताही ॥
तौ परिनाम न मोरि भलाई । पाप सिरोमनि साइँ दोहाई ॥
sampati saba raghupati ke āhī | jauṃ binu jatana calauṃ-taji tāhī ||
tau parināma na mori bhalāī | pāpa siromani sāim̐ dohāī ||
करइ स्वामि हित सेवक सोई । दूषन कोटि देइ किन कोई ॥
अस बिचारि सुचि सेवक बोले । जे सपनेहुँ निज धरम न डोले ॥
karai svāmi hita sevaka soī | dūṣana koṭi dei kina koī ||
asa bicāri suci sevaka bole | je sapanehum̐ nija dharama na ḍole ||
कहि सब मरम धरम भल भाषा । जो जेहि लायक सो तेहिं राखा ॥
करि सब जतन राखि रखवारे । राम-मातु पहिँ भरतु सिधारे ॥
kahi saba marama dharama bhala bhāṣā | jo jehi lāyaka so tehiṃ rākhā ||
kari saba jatana rākhi rakhavāre | rāma-mātu pahim̐ bharatu sidhāre ||
आरत जननी जानि सब, भरत सनेह सुजान ।
कहेउ बनावन पालकीं, सजन सुखासन जान ॥
ārata jananī jāni saba, bharata saneha sujāna |
kaheu banāvana pālakīṃ, sajana sukhāsana jāna ||
