जानहु राम कुटिल करि मोही । लोग कहउ गुरु-साहिब-द्रोही ॥
सीता-राम-चरन रति मोरें । अनुदिन बढ़उ अनुग्रह तोरें ॥
jānahu rāma kuṭila kari mohī | loga kahau guru-sāhiba-drohī ||
sītā-rāma-carana rati moreṃ | anudina bar̤hau anugraha toreṃ ||

Chapter 205: Triveni's voice blesses Bharata

What happens in this chapter
Triveni's voice blesses Bharata
Let Rama think me crooked, Bharata prays, let people call me traitor to guru and master; only may my love for the feet of Sita and Rama grow daily by your grace. Let the cloud forget the chataka all its life, or drop thunderbolts and hail when it begs for water; if the chataka's cry fails it is lost, and its good lies only in growing love. As gold gains lustre in the fire, so love grows by keeping one's vow to the beloved's feet. Then from the midst of Triveni comes a soft, auspicious voice: dear Bharata, you are good in every way, your love for Rama's feet is fathomless. Bharata thrills with joy, and the gods cry 'blessed' and rain flowers.
जलद जनम-भरि सुरति बिसारउ । जाचत जल पबि पाहन डारउ ॥
चातक-रटनि घटें घटि जाई । बढ़े प्रेम सब भाँति भलाई ॥
jalada janama-bhari surati bisārau | jācata jala pabi pāhana ḍārau ||
cātaka-raṭani ghaṭeṃ ghaṭi jāī | bar̤he prema saba bhām̐ti bhalāī ||
कनकहिं बान चढ़इ जिमि दाहें । तिमि प्रियतम-पद नेम निबाहें ॥
भरत बचन सुनि माँझ त्रिबेनी । भइ मृदु-बानि सुमङ्गल देनी ॥
kanakahiṃ bāna car̤hai jimi dāheṃ | timi priyatama-pada nema nibāheṃ ||
bharata bacana suni mām̐jha tribenī | bhai mṛdu-bāni sumaṅgala denī ||
तात भरत तुम्ह सब बिधि साधू । राम चरन अनुराग अगाधू ॥
बाद गलानि करहु मन माहीॅ । तुम्ह सम रामहि कोउ प्रिय नाहीॅ ॥
tāta bharata tumha saba bidhi sādhū | rāma carana anurāga agādhū ||
bāda galāni karahu mana māhīॅ | tumha sama rāmahi kou priya nāhīॅ ||
तनु पुलकेउ हियँ हरष सुनि, बेनि बचन अनुकूल ।
भरत धन्य कहि धन्य सुर, हरषित बरषहिँ फूल ॥
tanu pulakeu hiyam̐ haraṣa suni, beni bacana anukūla |
bharata dhanya kahi dhanya sura, haraṣita baraṣahim̐ phūla ||
