लखन सनेह सुभायँ सुहाये । बैरु प्रीति नहिं दुरइँ दुराये ॥
अस कहि भेंट सँजोवन लागे । कन्द मूल फल खग मृग मागे ॥
lakhana saneha subhāyam̐ suhāye | bairu prīti nahiṃ duraim̐ durāye ||
asa kahi bheṃṭa sam̐jovana lāge | kanda mūla phala khaga mṛga māge ||

What happens in this chapter
Guha brings gifts and Bharata embraces him
Affection and enmity cannot be hidden, Guha reflects; I will see it in his manner. He gathers gifts: roots, bulbs and fruit, birds and deer, and loads of large fish carried by porters. Readying himself, he sets out and meets with auspicious omens. From afar he calls out his name and prostrates before Vasishtha, who, knowing him as Rama's beloved, blesses him and explains to Bharata who he is. Hearing he is Rama's friend, Bharata leaves his chariot and walks forward, brimming with love. Guha announces his village, caste and name and bows with his forehead to the ground. Seeing him prostrate, Bharata lifts him to his heart, as though he were meeting Lakshmana, and his love will not fit in his breast.
मीन पीन पाठीन पुराने । भरि भरि भार कहारन्ह आने ॥
मिलन साज सजि मिलन सिधाये । मङ्गल-मूल सगुन सुभ पाये ॥
mīna pīna pāṭhīna purāne | bhari bhari bhāra kahāranha āne ||
milana sāja saji milana sidhāye | maṅgala-mūla saguna subha pāye ||
देखि दूरि तेँ कहि निज नामू । कीन्ह मुनीसहि दंड प्रनामू ॥
जानि राम प्रिय दोन्हि असीसा । भरतहि कहेउ बुझाइ मुनीसा ॥
dekhi dūri tem̐ kahi nija nāmū | kīnha munīsahi daṃḍa pranāmū ||
jāni rāma priya donhi asīsā | bharatahi kaheu bujhāi munīsā ||
राम सखा सुनि संदनु त्यागा । चले उतरि उमगत अनुरागा ॥
गाउँ जाति गुहँ नाउँ सुनाई । कीन्ह जोहार माथ महि लाई ॥
rāma sakhā suni saṃdanu tyāgā | cale utari umagata anurāgā ||
gāum̐ jāti guham̐ nāum̐ sunāī | kīnha johāra mātha mahi lāī ||
करत दंडवत देखि तेहि, भरत लीन्ह उर लाइ ।
मनहुँ लखन सन भेँट भइ, प्रेम न हृदयँ समाइ ॥
karata daṃḍavata dekhi tehi, bharata līnha ura lāi |
manahum̐ lakhana sana bhem̐ṭa bhai, prema na hṛdayam̐ samāi ||
