सत्यसन्ध प्रभु-सुर-हितकारी । भरत राम-आयसु अनुसारी ॥
स्वारथ-बिबस बिकल तुम्ह होहू । भरत दोष नहिँ राउर मोहू ॥
satyasandha prabhu-sura-hitakārī | bharata rāma-āyasu anusārī ||
svāratha-bibasa bikala tumha hohū | bharata doṣa nahim̐ rāura mohū ||

What happens in this chapter
The devas praise Bharata; the march reaches Yamuna
Brihaspati ends his counsel: Bharata follows Rama's command, and Rama is true to his word and a friend to the devas. Indra is shaken only by his own selfish fear; Bharata has no fault. Indra's shame lifts. Glad, he rains flowers and praises Bharata's nature. Bharata walks on, and sages and siddhas envy his state: each time he sighs out the name Rama, love seems to surge on every side. Even stone melts at his words. After a halt they reach the Yamuna. Its dark water has the colour of Rama's body, and the whole company sinks in a sea of separation, held up only by the ship of discernment.
सुनि सुरबर सुरगुरु-बर-बानी । भा, प्रमोद मन मिटी गलानी ॥
बरषि प्रसून हरषि सुरराऊ । लगे सराहन भरत सुभाऊ ॥
suni surabara suraguru-bara-bānī | bhā, pramoda mana miṭī galānī ||
baraṣi prasūna haraṣi surarāū | lage sarāhana bharata subhāū ||
एहि बिधि भरत चले मग जाहीँ । दसा देखि मुनि सिद्ध सिहाहीं ॥
जबहिँ राम कहि लेहिँ उसासा । उमगत पेमु मनहुँ चहुँ पासा ॥
ehi bidhi bharata cale maga jāhīm̐ | dasā dekhi muni siddha sihāhīṃ ||
jabahim̐ rāma kahi lehim̐ usāsā | umagata pemu manahum̐ cahum̐ pāsā ||
द्रवहिॅ बचन सुनि कुलिस पखाना । पुरजन पेमु न जाइ बखाना ॥
बीच बास करि जमुनहिँ आये । निरखि नीर लोचन जल छाये ॥
dravahiॅ bacana suni kulisa pakhānā | purajana pemu na jāi bakhānā ||
bīca bāsa kari jamunahim̐ āye | nirakhi nīra locana jala chāye ||
रघुबर-बरन बिलोकि बर, बारि समेत समाज ।
होत मगन बारिधि बिरह, चढ़े बिबेक जहाज़ ॥
raghubara-barana biloki bara, bāri sameta samāja |
hota magana bāridhi biraha, car̤he bibeka jahāza ||
