यहउ कहत भल कहिहि न कोऊ । लोक-बेद बुध सम्मत दोऊ ॥
तात तुम्हार बिमल-जस गाई । पाइहि लोकहु-बेद बड़ाई ॥

tāta tumhāra bimala-jasa gāī | pāihi lokahu-beda bar̤āī ||

What happens in this chapter
Bharadvaja declares Bharata blameless
Even saying this, Bharadvaja goes on, no one will call it good, though custom and Veda both approve it, as the wise know. All agree that he whom the father names takes the kingdom. The king, true to his vow, called you to give you kingship, its joys, dharma and honour. Rama's going to the forest, the root of the calamity that pained the whole world, came by destiny; the foolish queen did wrong and repented at last. To find even a small fault in you is the mark of a base, ignorant man. Had you ruled you would have no blame, and Rama would have been pleased. Love for Raghubar's feet is the root of every blessing.
लोक बेद सम्मत सब कहई । जेहि पितु देइ राज सो लहई ॥
राउ सत्य-व्रत तुम्हहिँ बोलाई । देत राज-सुख धरम बड़ाई ॥
loka beda sammata saba kahaī | jehi pitu dei rāja so lahaī ||
rāu satya-vrata tumhahim̐ bolāī | deta rāja-sukha dharama bar̤āī ||
राम-गवनु-बन अनरथ-मूला । जो सुनि सकल बिस्व भइ सूला ॥
सो भावी-बस रानि अयानी । करि कुचालि अंतहुँ पछितानी ॥
rāma-gavanu-bana anaratha-mūlā | jo suni sakala bisva bhai sūlā ||
so bhāvī-basa rāni ayānī | kari kucāli aṃtahum̐ pachitānī ||
तहउँ तुम्हार अलप अपराधू । कहइ से अधम अयान असाधू ॥
करतेहु राज त तुम्हहिँ न दोषू । रामहि होत सुनत संतोषू ॥
tahaum̐ tumhāra alapa aparādhū | kahai se adhama ayāna asādhū ||
karatehu rāja ta tumhahim̐ na doṣū | rāmahi hota sunata saṃtoṣū ||
अब अति कीन्हेहु भरत भल, तुम्हहिॅ उचित मत एहु ।
सकल सुमङ्गल-मूल जग, रघुबर चरन सनेहु ॥
aba ati kīnhehu bharata bhala, tumhahiॅ ucita mata ehu |
sakala sumaṅgala-mūla jaga, raghubara carana sanehu ||
