सीतापति सेवक सेवकाई । कामधेनु सय-सरिस सुहाई ॥
भरत भगति तुम्हरें मन आई । तजहु सोच बिधि बात बनाई ॥
sītāpati sevaka sevakāī | kāmadhenu saya-sarisa suhāī ||
bharata bhagati tumhareṃ mana āī | tajahu soca bidhi bāta banāī ||

What happens in this chapter
Bharata weighs Rama's command in his heart
Brihaspati goes on: service to the servant of Sita's lord is lovely as a hundred wish-cows. Devotion to Bharata has entered your minds; give up worry, fate has set things right. See Bharata's power, lord of devas: Raghuraja is helpless before his simple nature. Steady your mind and fear nothing; know Bharata as Rama's own shadow. Rama, who knows every heart, feels the devas' worry and the guru's view, and holds back. Bharata knows the burden is on him and turns it over a thousand ways. At last he decides: Rama's command is my good. He gave up his own vow to keep mine and showed me great love. Seeing Sita's lord so gracious in every way, Bharata bows and speaks with joined lotus hands.
देखु देवपति भरत प्रभाऊ । सहज सुभायँ बिबस रघुराऊ ॥
मन थिर करहु देव डर नाहीॅं । भरतहि जानि राम परिछाहीं ॥
dekhu devapati bharata prabhāū | sahaja subhāyam̐ bibasa raghurāū ||
mana thira karahu deva ḍara nāhīॅṃ | bharatahi jāni rāma parichāhīṃ ||
सुनो सुरगुरु सुर सम्मत सोचू । अन्तरजामी प्रभुहि सकोचू ॥
निज सिर भार भरत जियँ जाना । करत कोटि बिधि मन अनुमाना ॥
suno suraguru sura sammata socū | antarajāmī prabhuhi sakocū ||
nija sira bhāra bharata jiyam̐ jānā | karata koṭi bidhi mana anumānā ||
करि बिचार मन दीन्ही ठीका । राम-रजायसु आपन नीका ॥
निज पन तजि राखेउ पन मोरा । छोह सनेह कीन्ह नहिँ थोरा ॥
kari bicāra mana dīnhī ṭhīkā | rāma-rajāyasu āpana nīkā ||
nija pana taji rākheu pana morā | choha saneha kīnha nahim̐ thorā ||
कीन्ह अनुग्रह अमित अति, सब बिधि सीतानाथ ।
करि प्रनाम बोले भरत, जोरि जलज जुग हाथ ॥
kīnha anugraha amita ati, saba bidhi sītānātha |
kari pranāma bole bharata, jori jalaja juga hātha ||
