एहि दुख दाहँ दहइ दिन छाती । भूख न बासर नीद न राती ॥
एहि कुरोग कर औषध नाहीॅ । सोधेउँ सकल विस्व मन माहीॅ ॥
ehi dukha dāham̐ dahai dina chātī | bhūkha na bāsara nīda na rātī ||
ehi kuroga kara auṣadha nāhīॅ | sodheum̐ sakala visva mana māhīॅ ||

What happens in this chapter
Only Rama's return can cure this sickness
This sorrow burns my breast, Bharata says; I have no hunger by day and no sleep by night. My mother's evil counsel was the carpenter, the root of sin, who made my good her chisel; from the bad wood of Kali she built an evil engine, planted it in Avadh with a cruel spell, and for my sake set up this snare that has scattered the whole world. The evil will end only if Rama returns and dwells in Avadh; there is no other way. Do not grieve so, son, Bharadvaja says; every sorrow will vanish when you see Rama's feet. Then he bids him be a loving guest and accept the roots, fruit and flowers they offer.
मातु कुमत बढ़ई अघ-मूला । तेहिं हमार हित कीन्ह बँसूला ॥
कलि-कुकाठ कर कीन्ह कुजन्त्रू । गाडि अवध पढ़ि कठिन कुमंत्रु ॥
mātu kumata bar̤haī agha-mūlā | tehiṃ hamāra hita kīnha bam̐sūlā ||
kali-kukāṭha kara kīnha kujantrū | gāḍi avadha par̤hi kaṭhina kumaṃtru ||
मोहि लगि यह कुठाट तेहिं ठाटा । घालेसि सब जग बारहबाटा ॥
मिटइ कुजोग राम फिरि आये । बसइ अवध नहिँ आन उपाये ॥
mohi lagi yaha kuṭhāṭa tehiṃ ṭhāṭā | ghālesi saba jaga bārahabāṭā ||
miṭai kujoga rāma phiri āye | basai avadha nahim̐ āna upāye ||
भरत बचन सुनि मुनि सुख पाई । सबहिँ कीन्ह बहु भाँति बड़ाई ॥
तात करहु जनि सोच बिसेखी । सब दुख मिटहि राम-पग देखी ॥
bharata bacana suni muni sukha pāī | sabahim̐ kīnha bahu bhām̐ti bar̤āī ||
tāta karahu jani soca bisekhī | saba dukha miṭahi rāma-paga dekhī ||
करि प्रबोध मुनिबर कहेउ, अतिथि पेमप्रिय होहु ।
कन्द मूल फल फूल हम, देहिॅ लेहु करि छोहु ॥
kari prabodha munibara kaheu, atithi pemapriya hohu |
kanda mūla phala phūla hama, dehiॅ lehu kari chohu ||
