प्रभु पितु मातु सुह्रद गुरु स्वामी । पूज्य परम हित अतंरजामी ॥
सरल सुसाहिब सील-निधानू । प्रनत-पाल सर्बज्ञ सुजानू ॥
prabhu pitu mātu suhrada guru svāmī | pūjya parama hita ataṃrajāmī ||
sarala susāhiba sīla-nidhānū | pranata-pāla sarbajña sujānū ||

What happens in this chapter
Bharata confesses his boldness to the Lord
Lord, Bharata says, you are father, mother, friend, guru and master, worshipful, my highest good, the knower of hearts, a gracious master who shelters those who bow and removes their faults. Such a lord has only himself for equal, and I, I swear, am the only servant like me. Deluded, I set aside the word of my lord and father and came here gathering this crowd. The world holds every kind, good and bad, yet no one has ever been seen or heard to erase Rama's command even in thought. That boldness I committed in every way, and my Lord took it as loving service. By your own kindness you turned my fault into an ornament and spread fair fame all around.
समरथ सरनागत हितकारी । गुन गाहक अवगुन-अघ-हारी ॥
स्वामि गोसाँइहि सरिस गोसाँई । मोहि समान मैं साइँ-दोहाई ॥
samaratha saranāgata hitakārī | guna gāhaka avaguna-agha-hārī ||
svāmi gosām̐ihi sarisa gosām̐ī | mohi samāna maiṃ sāim̐-dohāī ||
प्रभु-पितु-बचन मोह अस पेली । आयउँ इहाँ समाज सकेली ॥
जग भल पोच ऊँच अरु नीचू । अमिय अमर-पद माहुर मीचू ॥
prabhu-pitu-bacana moha asa pelī | āyaum̐ ihām̐ samāja sakelī ||
jaga bhala poca ūm̐ca aru nīcū | amiya amara-pada māhura mīcū ||
राम रजाइ मेट मन माहीं । देखा सुना कतहुँ कोउ नाहीं ॥
सो मैं सब बिधि कीन्हि ढिठाई । प्रभु मानी सनेह सेवकाई ॥
rāma rajāi meṭa mana māhīṃ | dekhā sunā katahum̐ kou nāhīṃ ||
so maiṃ saba bidhi kīnhi ḍhiṭhāī | prabhu mānī saneha sevakāī ||
कृपाँ भलाई आपनी, नाथ कीन्ह भल मोर ।
दूषन से भूषन सरिस, सुजस चारु चहुँ ओर ॥
kṛpām̐ bhalāī āpanī, nātha kīnha bhala mora |
dūṣana se bhūṣana sarisa, sujasa cāru cahum̐ ora ||
