जहाँ जनक गुरु मति भोरी । प्राकृत प्रीति कहत बड़ि खोरी ॥
बरनत रघुबर भरत बियोगू । सुनि कठोर कबि जानिहि लोगू ॥
jahām̐ janaka guru mati bhorī | prākṛta prīti kahata bar̤i khorī ||
baranata raghubara bharata biyogū | suni kaṭhora kabi jānihi logū ||

Chapter 318: Bharata and Shatrughna take leave
5 verses · 318 of 326
What happens in this chapter
Bharata and Shatrughna take leave
Where the minds of Janaka and the guru are thus lost, to call this ordinary love would be a great fault. Were I to describe the parting of Raghubar and Bharata, says Tulsidas, people would think the poet hard-hearted. That rasa of restraint is beyond words; the poet's speech, remembering the time and love, shrinks back. Rama embraces and consoles Bharata, then gladly holds Shatrughna to his heart. With heavy grief both camps begin to prepare for departure. The two brothers bow at the Lord's lotus feet and set out with Rama's command on their heads. They embrace Lakshmana, bow, set the dust of Sita's feet on their heads, and leave with blessings, the root of every good.
सो सकोच-रस अकथ सुबानी । समउ सनेह सुमिरि सकुचानी ॥
भेंटि भरत रघुबर समुझाये । पुनि रिपुदवन हरषि हियँ लाये ॥
so sakoca-rasa akatha subānī | samau saneha sumiri sakucānī ||
bheṃṭi bharata raghubara samujhāye | puni ripudavana haraṣi hiyam̐ lāye ||
सेवक सचिव भरत रूख पाई । निज निज काज लगे सब जाई ॥
सुनि दारुन दुख दुहूँ समाजा । लगे चलन के साजन साजा ॥
sevaka saciva bharata rūkha pāī | nija nija kāja lage saba jāī ||
suni dāruna dukha duhūm̐ samājā | lage calana ke sājana sājā ||
मनु-पद-पदुम बन्दि दोउ भाई । चले सीस धरि राम-रजाई ॥
मुनि तापस बनदेव निहोरी । सब सनमानि बहोरि बहोरी ॥
manu-pada-paduma bandi dou bhāī | cale sīsa dhari rāma-rajāī ||
muni tāpasa banadeva nihorī | saba sanamāni bahori bahorī ||
दो लखनहि भेंटि प्रनाम करि, सिर धरि सिय-पद धूरि ।
चले सप्रेम असीस सुनि, सकल सुमङ्गल-मूरि ॥
do lakhanahi bheṃṭi pranāma kari, sira dhari siya-pada dhūri |
cale saprema asīsa suni, sakala sumaṅgala-mūri ||
