सुनि मुनि बचन जनक अनुरागे । लखि गति ज्ञान बिराग बिरागे ॥
सिथिल सनेहँ गुनत मन नाहीं । आये इहाँ कीन्ह भल नाहीं ॥
suni muni bacana janaka anurāge | lakhi gati jñāna birāga birāge ||
sithila saneham̐ gunata mana nāhīṃ | āye ihām̐ kīnha bhala nāhīṃ ||

What happens in this chapter
Janaka goes to Bharata for his view
Hearing the muni, Janaka is overcome with love; seeing his state, knowledge and detachment themselves seem to lose their detachment. Slack with affection, he reflects that coming here was no good. The king sent Rama to the forest and proved his love by dying; shall we now send him from forest to forest and return pleased, proud of our discernment? Steadying himself, Janaka goes with his company to Bharata. Dear Bharata, says the king of Tirhut, you know Raghubir's nature. Rama is true to his vow and devoted to dharma, and he bears the love and courtesy of all; out of modesty he suffers this strain. Tell us what you would have done.
रामहिं रायँ कहेउ बन जाना । कीन्ह आपु प्रिय प्रेम प्रवाना ॥
हम अब बन तेँ बनहिँ पठाई । प्रमुदित फिरब बिबेक बड़ाई ॥
rāmahiṃ rāyam̐ kaheu bana jānā | kīnha āpu priya prema pravānā ||
hama aba bana tem̐ banahim̐ paṭhāī | pramudita phiraba bibeka bar̤āī ||
तापस मुनि महिसुर सुनि देखी । भये प्रेम बस बिकल बिसेखी ॥
समउ समुझि धरि धीरज राजा । चले भरत पहिँ सहित समाजा ॥
tāpasa muni mahisura suni dekhī | bhaye prema basa bikala bisekhī ||
samau samujhi dhari dhīraja rājā | cale bharata pahim̐ sahita samājā ||
भरत आइ आगें भइ लीन्हे । अवसर सरिस सुआसन दीन्हे ॥
तात भरत कह तेरहुति राऊ । तुम्हहि बिदित रघुबीर सुभाऊ ॥
bharata āi āgeṃ bhai līnhe | avasara sarisa suāsana dīnhe ||
tāta bharata kaha terahuti rāū | tumhahi bidita raghubīra subhāū ||
राम सत्यव्रत धरम-रत, सब कर सील सनेहु ।
सङ्कट सहत सकोच बस, कहिअ जो आयसु देहु ॥
rāma satyavrata dharama-rata, saba kara sīla sanehu |
saṅkaṭa sahata sakoca basa, kahia jo āyasu dehu ||
