बिधि न सकेउ सहि मोर दुलारा । नीच बीच जननी मिस पारा ॥
यहउ कहत मोहि आजु न सोभा । अपनीं समुझि साधु सुचि को भा ॥
bidhi na sakeu sahi mora dulārā | nīca bīca jananī misa pārā ||
yahau kahata mohi āju na sobhā | apanīṃ samujhi sādhu suci ko bhā ||

Chapter 261: Bharata takes all blame on himself
5 verses · 261 of 326
What happens in this chapter
Bharata takes all blame on himself
Bharata goes on. Fate could not bear the love I had, and, using my mother as a pretext, it set a gap between us. To think my mother wicked and myself good is a thousand wrongs. Can kodo millet bear fine rice, or a black mussel yield a pearl? No one is at fault even in a dream; my misfortune is a fathomless sea. Not seeing my own sins ripening, I hurt my mother with harsh words. One hope remains: my guru, and my masters Sita and Rama. Here, in the saints' assembly before guru and Lord, I speak my true feeling; the sage and Raghuraja know whether it is love or pretence.
मातु मन्द मैं साधु सुचाली । उर अस आनत कोटि कुचाली ॥
फरइ कि कोदव बालि सुसाली । मुकुता-प्रसव कि सम्बुक काली ॥
mātu manda maiṃ sādhu sucālī | ura asa ānata koṭi kucālī ||
pharai ki kodava bāli susālī | mukutā-prasava ki sambuka kālī ||
सपनेहुँ दोस कलेस न काहू । मोर अभाग उदधि अवगाहू ॥
बिनु समुझें निज अघ परिपाकू । जारिउँ जायँ जननि कहि काकू ॥
sapanehum̐ dosa kalesa na kāhū | mora abhāga udadhi avagāhū ||
binu samujheṃ nija agha paripākū | jārium̐ jāyam̐ janani kahi kākū ||
हृदयँ हेरि हारेउं सब ओरा । एकहि भाँति भलेहिं भल मोरा ॥
गुरु-गोसाइँ साहिब सिय रामू । लागत मोहि नीक परिनामू ॥
hṛdayam̐ heri hāreuṃ saba orā | ekahi bhām̐ti bhalehiṃ bhala morā ||
guru-gosāim̐ sāhiba siya rāmū | lāgata mohi nīka parināmū ||
साधु सभा गुरु प्रभु निकट, कहउँ सुथल सति भाउ ।
प्रेम प्रपंचु कि झूठ फुर, जानहिँ मुनि रघुराउ ॥
sādhu sabhā guru prabhu nikaṭa, kahaum̐ suthala sati bhāu |
prema prapaṃcu ki jhūṭha phura, jānahim̐ muni raghurāu ||
