तात बात फुरि राम कृपाहीं । राम बिमुख सिधि सपनेहुँ नाहीं ॥
सकुचउँ तात कहत एक बाता । अरध तजहिं बुध सरबस जाता ॥
tāta bāta phuri rāma kṛpāhīṃ | rāma bimukha sidhi sapanehum̐ nāhīṃ ||
sakucaum̐ tāta kahata eka bātā | aradha tajahiṃ budha sarabasa jātā ||

What happens in this chapter
Vasishtha's proposal: Bharata to the forest
Vasishtha says: son, all comes by Rama's grace. I hesitate to say one thing. When all is about to be lost, the wise give up half. You two brothers go to the forest, and Lakshmana, Sita and Raghurai be brought back. Hearing these good words, both brothers rejoice, as if King Dasharatha lived again and Rama were crowned. The people see great gain and small loss; the queens, joy and grief equal, all weep. Bharata says: do as the sage has said, and you give me the fruit of life. I will live in the forest all my life; there is no greater ease for me. You know all hearts; Lord, if you mean it, make your word good.
तुम्ह कानन गवनहु होउ भाई । फेरिअहिं लखन-सीय-रघुराई ॥
सुनि सुबचन हरषे दोउ भ्राता । भे प्रमोद परिपूरन गाता ॥
tumha kānana gavanahu hou bhāī | pheriahiṃ lakhana-sīya-raghurāī ||
suni subacana haraṣe dou bhrātā | bhe pramoda paripūrana gātā ||
मन प्रसन्न तनु तेज बिराजा । जनु जिय राउ राम भये राजा ॥
बहुत लाभ लोगन्ह लघु हानी । सम दुख सुख सब रोवहिँ रानी ॥
mana prasanna tanu teja birājā | janu jiya rāu rāma bhaye rājā ||
bahuta lābha loganha laghu hānī | sama dukha sukha saba rovahim̐ rānī ||
कहहिं भरत मुनि कहा सो कीन्हे । फल जग जीवन्ह अभिमत दीन्हे ॥
कानन करउँ जनम भरि बासू । एहिं तें अधिक न मोर सुपासू ॥
kahahiṃ bharata muni kahā so kīnhe | phala jaga jīvanha abhimata dīnhe ||
kānana karaum̐ janama bhari bāsū | ehiṃ teṃ adhika na mora supāsū ||
अन्तरजामी राम-सिय, तुम्ह सर्बज्ञ-सुजान ।
जो फुर कहहु त नाथ निज, कीजिय बचन प्रवान ॥
antarajāmī rāma-siya, tumha sarbajña-sujāna |
jo phura kahahu ta nātha nija, kījiya bacana pravāna ||
