से तुम्हार धन जीवन प्राना । भूरि-भाग को तुम्हहिँ समाना ॥
यह तुम्हार आचरजु न ताता । दसरथ-सूअन राम-प्रिय-भ्राता ॥
se tumhāra dhana jīvana prānā | bhūri-bhāga ko tumhahim̐ samānā ||
yaha tumhāra ācaraju na tātā | dasaratha-sūana rāma-priya-bhrātā ||

What happens in this chapter
Rama praised Bharata all night long
That love is your wealth, your life and breath, Bharadvaja says; who is as fortunate as you? Listen: in Raghubar's heart no one is so beloved as you. Lakshmana, Rama and Sita, all three love you dearly; the whole night passed with them praising you. I learned this secret when they bathed at Prayag; they were lost in love for you. That is no special greatness of his, for Raghurai protects the family of all who bow to him. And you, Bharata, seem to me love for Rama in bodily form. What is a stain for you is a lesson for us all; this hour is a Ganesha, an auspicious beginning, for the perfection of devotion to Rama.
सुनहु भरत रघुबर मन माहीॅ । पेम पात्रु तुम्ह सम कोउ नाहीॅ ॥
लखन राम सीतहि अति प्रीती । निसि सब तुम्हहिँ सराहत बीती ॥
sunahu bharata raghubara mana māhīॅ | pema pātru tumha sama kou nāhīॅ ||
lakhana rāma sītahi ati prītī | nisi saba tumhahim̐ sarāhata bītī ||
जाना मरम नहात प्रयागा । मगन होहिॅ तुम्हरें अनुरागा ॥
तुम्ह पर अस सनेह रघुबर कें । सुख जीवन जग जस जड़ नर कें ॥
jānā marama nahāta prayāgā | magana hohiॅ tumhareṃ anurāgā ||
tumha para asa saneha raghubara keṃ | sukha jīvana jaga jasa jar̤a nara keṃ ||
यह न अधिक रघुबीर बड़ाई । प्रनत-कुटुम्ब-पाल रघुराई ॥
तुम्ह तौ भरत भार मत एहू । धरें देह जनु राम-सनेहू ॥
yaha na adhika raghubīra bar̤āī | pranata-kuṭumba-pāla raghurāī ||
tumha tau bharata bhāra mata ehū | dhareṃ deha janu rāma-sanehū ||
तुम्ह कहँ भरत कलङ्क यह, हम सब कहँ उपदेस ।
राम भगति रस सिद्धि-हित, भा यह समउ गनेस ॥
tumha kaham̐ bharata kalaṅka yaha, hama saba kaham̐ upadesa |
rāma bhagati rasa siddhi-hita, bhā yaha samau ganesa ||
