जड़ चेतन, मग जीव घनेरे । जे चितये प्रभु जिन्ह प्रभु हेरे ॥
ते सब भए परम-पद-जोगू । भरत-दरस मेटा भव रोगू ॥
jar̤a cetana, maga jīva ghanere | je citaye prabhu jinha prabhu here ||
te saba bhae parama-pada-jogū | bharata-darasa meṭā bhava rogū ||

Chapter 217: Indra fears the brothers will meet
5 verses · 217 of 326
What happens in this chapter
Indra fears the brothers will meet
All beings on the road, moving and unmoving, who saw the Lord or whom he looked upon, became fit for the supreme state; now the sight of Bharata ends their worldly sickness too. That is no great thing for Bharata, whom Rama remembers in his heart. Bharata is Rama's beloved and his younger brother; why would his road not bring blessings? But seeing his power, Indra worries; the world is good to the good and the vile see vileness. He tells his guru Brihaspati: Lord, see that Rama and Bharata do not meet. Rama is shy and ruled by love, Bharata an ocean of love. Our settled affair is about to be spoiled; find some trick.
यह बडि बात भरत कइ नाहीँ । सुमिरत जिनहि राम मन माहीॅ ॥
बारक राम कहत जग जेऊ । होत तरन तारन नर तेऊ ॥
yaha baḍi bāta bharata kai nāhīm̐ | sumirata jinahi rāma mana māhīॅ ||
bāraka rāma kahata jaga jeū | hota tarana tārana nara teū ||
भरत राम प्रिय पुनि लघु भ्राता । कस न होइ मग मङ्गल-दाता ॥
सिद्ध साधु मुनिबर अस कहहीॅ । भरतहि निरखि हरष हियँ लहहीॅ ॥
bharata rāma priya puni laghu bhrātā | kasa na hoi maga maṅgala-dātā ||
siddha sādhu munibara asa kahahīॅ | bharatahi nirakhi haraṣa hiyam̐ lahahīॅ ||
देखि प्रभाव सुरेसहि सोचू । जग भल भलेहि पोच कहँ पोचू ॥
गुरु सन कहेउ करिय प्रभु सोई । रामहि भरतहि भेँट न होई ॥
dekhi prabhāva suresahi socū | jaga bhala bhalehi poca kaham̐ pocū ||
guru sana kaheu kariya prabhu soī | rāmahi bharatahi bhem̐ṭa na hoī ||
राम सँकोची प्रेम-बस, भरत सपेम पयोधि ।
बनी बात बेगरन चहति, करिय जतनु छल-सोधि ॥
rāma sam̐kocī prema-basa, bharata sapema payodhi |
banī bāta begarana cahati, kariya jatanu chala-sodhi ||
