एक मनोरथ बड़ मन माहीं । सभयँ सकोच जात कहि नाहीं ॥
कहहु तात प्रभु आयसु पाई । बोले बानि सनेह सुहाई ॥
eka manoratha bar̤a mana māhīṃ | sabhayam̐ sakoca jāta kahi nāhīṃ ||
kahahu tāta prabhu āyasu pāī | bole bāni saneha suhāī ||

Bharata asks to see Chitrakoot's holy places
I have one great wish, Bharata says, but fear and shyness stop me from saying it. Speak, brother, says the Lord, and with his leave Bharata speaks lovingly. Chitrakoot's places of the munis, its tirthas and woods, lakes, streams and hills, and the earth especially marked by the Lord's feet: if you permit, I would go and see them. Certainly, says Rama, but take Atri's command on your head, and wander the forest without fear. Wherever the chief of rishis directs, keep the tirtha water there. Hearing this, Bharata is happy and bows joyfully at the muni's lotus feet. Hearing this talk of Bharata and Rama, root of all good, the selfish gods praise the Raghu line and rain flowers from the wish-granting tree.
चित्रकूट मुनि-थल तीरथ बन । खग मृग सर सरि निर्झर गिरिगन ॥
प्रभु-पद अङ्कित अवनि बिसेखी । आयसु होइ त आवउँ देखी ॥
citrakūṭa muni-thala tīratha bana | khaga mṛga sara sari nirjhara girigana ||
prabhu-pada aṅkita avani bisekhī | āyasu hoi ta āvaum̐ dekhī ||
अवसि अत्रि आयसु सिर धरहू । तात बिगत-भय कानन चरहू ॥
मुनि प्रसाद बन मङ्गल-दाता । पावन परम सुहावन भ्राता ॥
avasi atri āyasu sira dharahū | tāta bigata-bhaya kānana carahū ||
muni prasāda bana maṅgala-dātā | pāvana parama suhāvana bhrātā ||
रिषि-नायक जहँ आयसु देहीं । राखेहु तीरथ-जल थल तेहीं ॥
सुनि प्रभु बचन भरत सुख पावा । मुनि-पद-कमल मुदित सिर नावा ॥
riṣi-nāyaka jaham̐ āyasu dehīṃ | rākhehu tīratha-jala thala tehīṃ ||
suni prabhu bacana bharata sukha pāvā | muni-pada-kamala mudita sira nāvā ||
भरत-राम-सम्बाद सुनि, सकल सुमङ्गल-मूल ।
सुर स्वारथी सराहि कुल, बरषत सुरतरु फूल ॥
bharata-rāma-sambāda suni, sakala sumaṅgala-mūla |
sura svārathī sarāhi kula, baraṣata surataru phūla ||
