What happens in this chapter
Brihaspati warns Indra against harming Bharata
Brihaspati, guru of the devas, gives Indra plain counsel. Shri Rama loves his servant above all; he is pleased by service to his servant, and enmity toward his servant he counts as the worst enmity. Though Rama is even to all, free of attachment and anger, and has set the world to run on karma, he still deals with each heart according to its devotion. The attributeless Brahman took form out of love for his devotees. Vedas, Puranas, saints and devas witness that Rama keeps his servant's wish. So give up crookedness and love Bharata's feet. Bharata is the crest-jewel of devotees, kind and pained by others' pain. Fear nothing from him.
जद्यपि सम नहिँ राग न रोषू । गहहिँ न पाय पुन्य गुन दोषू ॥
करम-प्रधान बिस्व करि राखा । जो जस करइ सो तस फल चाखा ॥
jadyapi sama nahim̐ rāga na roṣū | gahahim̐ na pāya punya guna doṣū ||
karama-pradhāna bisva kari rākhā | jo jasa karai so tasa phala cākhā ||
तदपि करहिँ सम विषम बिहारा । भगत अभगत हृदय अनुसारा ॥
अगुन अलेप अमान एकरस । राम सगुन भये भगत-पेम-बस ॥
tadapi karahim̐ sama viṣama bihārā | bhagata abhagata hṛdaya anusārā ||
aguna alepa amāna ekarasa | rāma saguna bhaye bhagata-pema-basa ||
राम सदा सेवक रुचि राखी । बेद पुरान साधु सुर साखी ॥
अस जियँ जानि तजहु कुटिलाई । करहु भरत-पद-प्रीति सुहाई ॥
rāma sadā sevaka ruci rākhī | beda purāna sādhu sura sākhī ||
asa jiyam̐ jāni tajahu kuṭilāī | karahu bharata-pada-prīti suhāī ||
राम-भगत परहित-निरत, पर दुख दुखी दयाल ।
भगत-सिरोमनि भरत तेँ, जनि डर पहु सुरपाल ॥
rāma-bhagata parahita-nirata, para dukha dukhī dayāla |
bhagata-siromani bharata tem̐, jani ḍara pahu surapāla ||
