दूतन्ह आइ भरत कइ करनी । जनक-समाज जथामति बरनी ॥
सुनि गुरु परिजन सचिव महीपति । भे सब सोच-सनेहँ बिकल अति ॥
dūtanha āi bharata kai karanī | janaka-samāja jathāmati baranī ||
suni guru parijana saciva mahīpati | bhe saba soca-saneham̐ bikala ati ||

What happens in this chapter
Janaka is on his way to Chitrakoot
The spies came back and told Janaka's court of Bharata's deeds as best they could. Hearing it, the guru, the household, the ministers and the king were all shaken with grief and love. Taking heart and praising Bharata, the king called his warriors and commanders, set guards over the realm, readied the chariots and elephants, fixed an auspicious hour and set out at once, never resting on the way. This morning they bathed at Prayag and began crossing the Yamuna. Lord, they sent us to bring word. So saying, the messengers bow to the ground. The great sage sends them back at once with six or seven Kiratas as guides. Hearing Janaka is coming, the Ayodhya company rejoices; Raghunandana feels great reserve, and Indra is gripped by worry.
धरि धीरज करि भरत बड़ाई । लिये सुभट साहनी बोलाई ॥
घर-पुर-देस राखि रखवारे । हय गय रथ बहु जान सँवारे ॥
dhari dhīraja kari bharata bar̤āī | liye subhaṭa sāhanī bolāī ||
ghara-pura-desa rākhi rakhavāre | haya gaya ratha bahu jāna sam̐vāre ||
दुघरी साधि चले ततकाला । किय बिश्राम न मग महिपाला ॥
भोरहिँ आजु नहाइ प्रयागा । चले जमुन उतरन सब लागा ॥
dugharī sādhi cale tatakālā | kiya biśrāma na maga mahipālā ||
bhorahim̐ āju nahāi prayāgā | cale jamuna utarana saba lāgā ||
खबरि लेन हम पठये नाथा । तिन्ह कहि अस महि नायउ माथा ॥
साथ किरात छ सातक दीन्हे । मुनिबर तुरत बिदा चर कीन्हे ॥
khabari lena hama paṭhaye nāthā | tinha kahi asa mahi nāyau māthā ||
sātha kirāta cha sātaka dīnhe | munibara turata bidā cara kīnhe ||
सुनत जनक आगवन सब, हरषेउ अवध-समाज ।
रघुनन्दनहिँ सकोच बड़, सोच बिबस सुर-राज ॥
sunata janaka āgavana saba, haraṣeu avadha-samāja |
raghunandanahim̐ sakoca bar̤a, soca bibasa sura-rāja ||
