सहित समाज तुम्हार हमारा । घर बन गुर प्रसाद रखवारा ॥
मातु पिता गुरु स्वामि निदेसू । सकल धरम धरनी-धर-सेसू ॥
sahita samāja tumhāra hamārā | ghara bana gura prasāda rakhavārā ||
mātu pitā guru svāmi nidesū | sakala dharama dharanī-dhara-sesū ||

What happens in this chapter
Rama asks Bharata to bear the burden
At home or in the forest, Rama says, the guru's grace guards us. The command of mother, father, guru and master is the Shesha that holds up the earth of all dharma. Do that yourself and let me do it too; dear brother, be the protector of the Sun's line. This one means is a Triveni of fame, good destiny and prosperity. Thinking this over, bear the heavy trouble and keep the people and household happy. Brother, the hardship is shared by all of us, but yours will be greatest, for the whole term. Knowing you are tender, I speak harshly; in bad times this is not wrong of me. A servant is like hands, feet and eyes, the master like the mouth; poets praise this as love's true way.
सो तुम्ह करहु करावहु मोहू । तात तरनिकुल पालक होहू ॥
साधन एक सकल सिधि देनी । कीरति सुगति भूति-मय बेनी ॥
so tumha karahu karāvahu mohū | tāta taranikula pālaka hohū ||
sādhana eka sakala sidhi denī | kīrati sugati bhūti-maya benī ||
सो बिचारि सहि सङ्कट भारी । करहु प्रजा परिवार सुखारी ॥
बाँटी बिपति सबहिँ मोहि भाई । तुम्हहिं अवधि भरि बड़ि कठिनाई ॥
so bicāri sahi saṅkaṭa bhārī | karahu prajā parivāra sukhārī ||
bām̐ṭī bipati sabahim̐ mohi bhāī | tumhahiṃ avadhi bhari bar̤i kaṭhināī ||
जानि तुम्हहिं मृदु कहउँ कठोरा । कुसमयँ तात न अनुचित मोरा ॥
होहिं कुठायँ सुबन्धु सुहाए । ओड़िअहिं हाथ असनिहु के घाये ॥
jāni tumhahiṃ mṛdu kahaum̐ kaṭhorā | kusamayam̐ tāta na anucita morā ||
hohiṃ kuṭhāyam̐ subandhu suhāe | or̤iahiṃ hātha asanihu ke ghāye ||
सेवक कर-पद-नयन से, मुख सो साहिब होइ ।
तुलसी प्रीति कि रीति सुनि, सुकबि सराहहिं सोइ ॥
sevaka kara-pada-nayana se, mukha so sāhiba hoi |
tulasī prīti ki rīti suni, sukabi sarāhahiṃ soi ||
