मुनि समाज अरु तीरथराजू । साँचिहुँ सपथ अघाइ अकाजू ॥
एहिं थल जैॉ किछु कहिय बनाई । एहि सम अधिक न अघ अधमाई ॥

ehiṃ thala jaiॉ kichu kahiya banāī | ehi sama adhika na agha adhamāī ||

Chapter 211: Bharata's grief is for Rama alone
5 verses · 211 of 326
What happens in this chapter
Bharata's grief is for Rama alone
Before this assembly of sages and the king of tirthas, Bharata says, even a true oath is useless, and to embellish anything here would be the worst sin. I do not grieve over my mother's deed, nor that the world thinks me vile. I do not fear for the next world, nor mourn my father's death, for he filled the worlds with merit and fame, had sons like Lakshmana and Rama, and gave up his body the moment Rama was parted from him. My grief is this: Rama, Lakshmana and Sita go without shoes, dressed as munis, from forest to forest, clad in deerskin, eating fruit, sleeping on leaves and kusha, bearing frost, sun, rain and wind under the trees.
तुम्ह सर्बज्ञ कहउँ सतिभाऊ । उर-अन्तरजामी रघुराऊ ॥
मोहि न मातु करतब कर सोचू । नहिँ दुख जियँ जग जानहि पोचू ॥
tumha sarbajña kahaum̐ satibhāū | ura-antarajāmī raghurāū ||
mohi na mātu karataba kara socū | nahim̐ dukha jiyam̐ jaga jānahi pocū ||
नाहि न डर बिगरिहि परलोकू । पितहु मरन कर मोहि न सोकू ॥
सुकृत सुजस भरि भुवन सुहाये । लछिमन राम सरिस सुत पाये ॥
nāhi na ḍara bigarihi paralokū | pitahu marana kara mohi na sokū ||
sukṛta sujasa bhari bhuvana suhāye | lachimana rāma sarisa suta pāye ||
राम-बिरहँ तजि तनु छनभंगू । भूप सोच कर कवन प्रसंगू ॥
राम-लखन-सिय बिनु पग पनहीॅ । करि मुनि बेष फिरहिँ बन बनहीॅ ॥
rāma-biraham̐ taji tanu chanabhaṃgū | bhūpa soca kara kavana prasaṃgū ||
rāma-lakhana-siya binu paga panahīॅ | kari muni beṣa phirahim̐ bana banahīॅ ||
अजिन-बसन फल-असन महि,-सयन डासि कुस पात ।
बसि तरु-तर नित सहत हिम, आतप बरषा बात ॥
ajina-basana phala-asana mahi,-sayana ḍāsi kusa pāta |
basi taru-tara nita sahata hima, ātapa baraṣā bāta ||
