भरत अत्रि अनुसासन पाई । जल-भाजन सब दिये चलाई ॥
सानुज आपु अत्रि मुनि साधू । सहित गये जहँ कूप अगाधू ॥
bharata atri anusāsana pāī | jala-bhājana saba diye calāī ||
sānuja āpu atri muni sādhū | sahita gaye jaham̐ kūpa agādhū ||

What happens in this chapter
Bharatkoop is consecrated with tirtha water
With Atri's instruction Bharata sends on all the water vessels, and goes himself with Shatrughna, Atri and the saints to the deep well. He places the holy water in that holy spot, and Atri, glad with love, says: dear one, this place has been perfected since beginningless time; time hid it and no one knew it. Servants dug a well here, and by fate's will it has become a blessing for the world. People will now call it Bharatkoop, most holy, joined with every tirtha's water. Whoever bathes here with love and discipline will become pure in deed, mind and speech. Speaking of the well's glory, all go to Raghurai, and Atri tells him the merit of the tirtha.
पावन-पाथ पुन्यथल राखा । प्रमुदित प्रेम अत्रि अस भाखा ॥
तात अनादि सिद्ध थल एहू । लोपेउ काल विदित नहिँ केहू ॥
pāvana-pātha punyathala rākhā | pramudita prema atri asa bhākhā ||
tāta anādi siddha thala ehū | lopeu kāla vidita nahim̐ kehū ||
तब सेवकन्ह सरल थल देखा । कीन्ह सुजल हित कूप बिसेखा ॥
विधि-बस भयउ बिस्व उपकारू । सुगम अगम अति धरम बिचारू ॥
taba sevakanha sarala thala dekhā | kīnha sujala hita kūpa bisekhā ||
vidhi-basa bhayau bisva upakārū | sugama agama ati dharama bicārū ||
भरतकूप अब कहिहहिँ लोगा । अति पावन तीरथ-जल जोगा ॥
प्रेम सनेम निमज्जत प्रानी । होइहहिँ बिमल करम मन बानी ॥
bharatakūpa aba kahihahim̐ logā | ati pāvana tīratha-jala jogā ||
prema sanema nimajjata prānī | hoihahim̐ bimala karama mana bānī ||
कहत कूप महिमा सकल, गये जहाँ रघुराउ ।
अत्रि सुनायउ रघुबरहि, तीरथ पुन्य प्रभाउ ॥
kahata kūpa mahimā sakala, gaye jahām̐ raghurāu |
atri sunāyau raghubarahi, tīratha punya prabhāu ||
