What happens in this chapter

Bharata content; asks about the tirtha water

The assembly hears Raghubar's words, as if nectar were stirred in an ocean of love, and sinks into a trance of affection; seeing this, Sharada falls silent. Bharata feels supreme contentment: his master faces him, and sorrow and fault have turned away. His face clears and his grief is gone, as if a mute were granted speech. He says: Lord, I have the joy of going with you and the gain of being born. Now, compassionate one, whatever you order I will carry out on my head with reverence. Give me some support, Lord, by serving which I may reach the end of the term. For your coronation, by the guru's instruction, I brought the water of every tirtha; what is your command for it?

307.1

सभा सकल सुनि रघुबर बानी । प्रेम-पयोधि अमिय जनु सानी ॥
सिथिल समाज सनेह समाधी । देखि दसा चुप सारद साधी ॥

sabhā sakala suni raghubara bānī | prema-payodhi amiya janu sānī ||
sithila samāja saneha samādhī | dekhi dasā cupa sārada sādhī ||

307.2

भरतहि भयउ परम सन्तोषू । सनमुख स्वामि बिमुख दुख दोषू ॥
मुख प्रसन्न मन मिटा बिषादू । भा जनु गूँगेहि गिरा प्रसादू ॥

bharatahi bhayau parama santoṣū | sanamukha svāmi bimukha dukha doṣū ||
mukha prasanna mana miṭā biṣādū | bhā janu gūm̐gehi girā prasādū ||

307.3

कीन्ह सप्रेम प्रनाम बहोरी । बोले पानि-पङ्करुह जोरी ॥
नाथ भयउ सुख साथ गये को । लहेउँ लाहु जग जनम भये को ॥

kīnha saprema pranāma bahorī | bole pāni-paṅkaruha jorī ||
nātha bhayau sukha sātha gaye ko | laheum̐ lāhu jaga janama bhaye ko ||

307.4

अब कृपाल जस आयसु होई । करउँ सीस धरि सादर सोई ॥
सो अवलम्ब देव मोहि देई । अवधि पार पावउँ जेहि सेई ॥

aba kṛpāla jasa āyasu hoī | karaum̐ sīsa dhari sādara soī ||
so avalamba deva mohi deī | avadhi pāra pāvaum̐ jehi seī ||

दो॰ 307Doha

देव देव अभिषेक हित, गुरु अनुसासन पाइ ।
आनेउँ सब तीरथ-सलिल, तेहि कहँ काह रजाइ ॥

deva deva abhiṣeka hita, guru anusāsana pāi |
āneum̐ saba tīratha-salila, tehi kaham̐ kāha rajāi ||
