तात कुसल कहु सुखनिधान की । सहित अनुज अरु मातु-जानकी ॥
कपि सब चरित समास बखाने । भए दुखी मन महँ पछिताने ॥
tāta kusala kahu sukhanidhāna kī | sahita anuja aru mātu-jānakī ||
kapi saba carita samāsa bakhāne | bhae dukhī mana maham̐ pachitāne ||

Bharata offers to send Hanuman by arrow
Bharata asks: tell me, friend, is the abode of joy well, with his brother and Mother Janaki? Hanuman tells him everything in brief. Bharata grieves: why was I born, when I have never served the Lord? Steadying himself, he says: you will be delayed, friend, and the work will be lost by dawn. Climb onto my arrow, mountain and all, and I will send you straight to the home of mercy. A moment's pride rises in Hanuman: how can an arrow carry my weight? Then, thinking of Rama's power, he bows and says with folded hands: keeping your glory in my heart, lord, I will go at once. Taking leave, he sets off, praising again and again Bharata's strength and his boundless love for the Lord's feet.
अहह दैव मैं कत जग जायउँ । प्रभु के एकहु काज न आयउँ ॥
जानि कुअवसर मन धरि धीरा । पुनि कपि सन बोले बलबीरा ॥
ahaha daiva maiṃ kata jaga jāyaum̐ | prabhu ke ekahu kāja na āyaum̐ ||
jāni kuavasara mana dhari dhīrā | puni kapi sana bole balabīrā ||
तात गहरु होइहि तोहि जाता । बाज नसाइहि होत प्रभाता ॥
चढ़ मम सायक सैल समेता । पठवौं तोहि जहँ कृपानिकेता ॥
tāta gaharu hoihi tohi jātā | bāja nasāihi hota prabhātā ||
car̤ha mama sāyaka saila sametā | paṭhavauṃ tohi jaham̐ kṛpāniketā ||
सुनि कपि मन उपजा अभिमाना । मोरें भार चलिहि किमि बाना ॥
राम प्रभाव बिचारि बहोरी । बन्दि चरन कह कपि कर जोरी ॥
suni kapi mana upajā abhimānā | moreṃ bhāra calihi kimi bānā ||
rāma prabhāva bicāri bahorī | bandi carana kaha kapi kara jorī ||
तव प्रताप उर राखि प्रभु, जेहउँ नाथ तुरन्त ।
अस कहि आयसु पाइ पद, बन्दि चलेउ हनुमन्त ॥
tava pratāpa ura rākhi prabhu, jehaum̐ nātha turanta |
asa kahi āyasu pāi pada, bandi caleu hanumanta ||
भरत बाहु बल सील गुन, प्रभु-पद-प्रीति अपार ।
मन मह जात सराहत, पुनि पुनि पवनकुमार ॥
bharata bāhu bala sīla guna, prabhu-pada-prīti apāra |
mana maha jāta sarāhata, puni puni pavanakumāra ||
