मुनि प्रभाव जब भरत बिलोका । सब लघु लगे लोकपति लोका ॥
सुख समाज नहिँ जाइ बखानी । देखत बिरति बिसारहिँ ज्ञानी ॥
muni prabhāva jaba bharata bilokā | saba laghu lage lokapati lokā ||
sukha samāja nahim̐ jāi bakhānī | dekhata birati bisārahim̐ jñānī ||

What happens in this chapter
Bharata unmoved amid the sage's splendour
When Bharata sees the power of the sage, the worlds of the guardian gods seem small. Seats, beds, fine clothes and canopies, groves and gardens, birds and deer of many kinds, fragrant flowers, fruit like nectar, clear pools of every sort, pure food and drink sweeter than amrita: the people shrink from it like men under vows. Each has a wish-cow and a wish-tree that would make Indra and Shachi envious. Spring reigns with its threefold breeze, and the four aims of life are within everyone's reach. Yet wealth is the chakwi and Bharata the chakwa, and the sage's order the game: that night the hermitage kept them in one cage until dawn, and they did not meet.
आसन सयन सुबसन बिताना । बन बाटिका बिहग मृग नाना ॥
सुरभि-फूल फल-अमिय समाना । बिमल जलासय विविध विधाना ॥
āsana sayana subasana bitānā | bana bāṭikā bihaga mṛga nānā ||
surabhi-phūla phala-amiya samānā | bimala jalāsaya vividha vidhānā ||
असन पान सुचि अमिय अमी से । देखि लोग सकुचात जमी से ॥
सुर-सुरभी सुरतरु सबही कें । लखि अभिलाष सुरेस सची कें ॥
asana pāna suci amiya amī se | dekhi loga sakucāta jamī se ||
sura-surabhī surataru sabahī keṃ | lakhi abhilāṣa suresa sacī keṃ ||
रितु-बसन्त वह त्रिबिधि बयारी । सब कहँ सुलभ पदारथ चारी ॥
सक चन्दन बनितादिक भोगा । देखि हरष-बिसमय बस लोगा ॥
ritu-basanta vaha tribidhi bayārī | saba kaham̐ sulabha padāratha cārī ||
saka candana banitādika bhogā | dekhi haraṣa-bisamaya basa logā ||
सम्पत्ति-चकई भरतु-चक, मुनि-आयसु खेलवार ।
तेहि निसि आस्रम पिंजराँ, राखे भा भिनुसार ॥
sampatti-cakaī bharatu-caka, muni-āyasu khelavāra |
tehi nisi āsrama piṃjarām̐, rākhe bhā bhinusāra ||
