और न्हाइ सब जुरा समाजू । भरत भूमिसुर तेरहुति राजू ॥
भल दिन आजु जानि मन माहीं । राम कृपाल कहत सकुचाहीं ॥
aura nhāi saba jurā samājū | bharata bhūmisura terahuti rājū ||
bhala dina āju jāni mana māhīṃ | rāma kṛpāla kahata sakucāhīṃ ||

What happens in this chapter
Bharata asks leave to serve Ayodhya
Next morning, after bathing, the whole assembly gathers: Bharata, the Brahmins and the king of Tirhut. Knowing in his heart that today is an auspicious day, kind Rama hesitates to say it. He looks at the guru, the king, Bharata and the assembly, then shyly looks down at the ground. All think: no master is as diffident as Rama. Wise Bharata reads Rama's look, rises, prostrates and says: Lord, you have kept all my wishes. For my sake everyone has borne distress, and you yourself have suffered in many ways. Now, master, give me your order; I will go and serve Avadh for the whole term. Kind lord of Kosala, teach me some way by which your servant may see you again when the term is over.
गुरु नप भरत सभा अवलोकी । सकुचि राम फिरि अवनि बिलोकी ॥
सील सराहि सभा सब सोची । कहुँ न राम सम स्वामि सँकोची ॥
guru napa bharata sabhā avalokī | sakuci rāma phiri avani bilokī ||
sīla sarāhi sabhā saba socī | kahum̐ na rāma sama svāmi sam̐kocī ||
भरत सुजान राम रुख देखी । उठि सप्रेम धरि धीर बिसेखी ॥
करि दंडवत कहत कर जोरी । राखीं नाथ सकल रुचि भारी ॥
bharata sujāna rāma rukha dekhī | uṭhi saprema dhari dhīra bisekhī ||
kari daṃḍavata kahata kara jorī | rākhīṃ nātha sakala ruci bhārī ||
मोहि लगि सहेउ सबहिँ सन्तापू । बहुत भाँति दुख पावा आपू ॥
अब गोसाइँ मोहि देहु रजाई । सेवौं अवध अवधि भरि जाई ॥
mohi lagi saheu sabahim̐ santāpū | bahuta bhām̐ti dukha pāvā āpū ||
aba gosāim̐ mohi dehu rajāī | sevauṃ avadha avadhi bhari jāī ||
हो-जेहिं उपाय पुनि पाय जन, देखै दीनदयाल ।
तो सिख देइअ अवधि लगि, कोसलपाल कृपाल ॥
ho-jehiṃ upāya puni pāya jana, dekhai dīnadayāla |
to sikha deia avadhi lagi, kosalapāla kṛpāla ||
