धन्य भरत जय राम गोसाँई । कहत देव हरषत बरिआई ॥
मुनि मिथिलेस सभाँ सब काहू । भरत बचन सुनि भयउ उछाहू ॥
dhanya bharata jaya rāma gosām̐ī | kahata deva haraṣata bariāī ||
muni mithilesa sabhām̐ saba kāhū | bharata bacana suni bhayau uchāhū ||

What happens in this chapter
All praise Bharata; Atri names a well
Blessed is Bharata, victory to Lord Rama, cry the gods, rejoicing in spite of themselves. The muni, Mithila's king and the whole assembly are lifted by Bharata's words. Thrilled, King Videha praises the virtues and love of Bharata and Rama: lovely is the nature of this servant and this master, their discipline and love purer than the pure. Ministers and courtiers join in, each in his own measure. Hearing the dialogue, both camps feel joy and sorrow together. Rama's mother, holding grief and joy as equal, consoles the queens by telling Rama's virtues; some praise Raghubir's greatness, some Bharata's goodness. Then Atri tells Bharata of a fine well near the hill: keep the tirtha water there, holy, nectar-like and peerless.
भरत राम गुन-ग्राम सनेहू । पुलकि प्रसंसत राउ-बिदेहू ॥
सेवक स्वामि सुभाउ सुहावन । नेम पेमु अति पावन पावन ॥
bharata rāma guna-grāma sanehū | pulaki prasaṃsata rāu-bidehū ||
sevaka svāmi subhāu suhāvana | nema pemu ati pāvana pāvana ||
मति अनुसार सराहन लागे । सचिव सभासद सब अनुरागे ॥
सुनि सुनि राम-भरत-सम्बादू । दुहुँ समाज हियँ हरष बिषादू ॥
mati anusāra sarāhana lāge | saciva sabhāsada saba anurāge ||
suni suni rāma-bharata-sambādū | duhum̐ samāja hiyam̐ haraṣa biṣādū ||
राम-मातु दुख सुख सम जानी । कहि गुन राम प्रबोधीं रानी ॥
एक कहहिं रघुबीर बड़ाई । एक सराहत भरत भलाई ॥
rāma-mātu dukha sukha sama jānī | kahi guna rāma prabodhīṃ rānī ||
eka kahahiṃ raghubīra bar̤āī | eka sarāhata bharata bhalāī ||
अत्रि कहेउ तब भरत सन, सैल समीप सुकूप ।
राखिअ तीरथ तोय तहँ, पावन अमिय अनूप ॥
atri kaheu taba bharata sana, saila samīpa sukūpa |
rākhia tīratha toya taham̐, pāvana amiya anūpa ||
