1.
Having sighted Bharadvāja's hermitage (āśrama) from just a *krośa* away, Bharata, the best of men, made his entire army halt and proceeded with his ministers.
पद्भ्यामेव हि धर्मज्ञो न्यस्तशस्त्रपरिच्छदः ।
वसानो वाससी क्षौमे पुरोधाय पुरोहितम् ॥२॥
वसानो वाससी क्षौमे पुरोधाय पुरोहितम् ॥२॥

vāsasī vasānaḥ purohitam purodhāya padbhyām eva
vāsasī vasānaḥ purohitam purodhāya padbhyām eva
2.
Indeed, Bharata, the knower of natural law (dharma), having laid aside his weapons and equipment, and wearing two silken garments, proceeded on foot, placing his family priest (purohita) ahead of him.
ततः संदर्शने तस्य भरद्वाजस्य राघवः ।
मन्त्रिणस्तानवस्थाप्य जगामानु पुरोहितम् ॥३॥
मन्त्रिणस्तानवस्थाप्य जगामानु पुरोहितम् ॥३॥
3. tataḥ saṃdarśane tasya bharadvājasya rāghavaḥ ,
mantriṇastānavasthāpya jagāmānu purohitam.
mantriṇastānavasthāpya jagāmānu purohitam.

rāghavaḥ tataḥ bharadvājasya tasya saṃdarśane
tān mantriṇaḥ avasthāpya purohitam anu jagāma
tān mantriṇaḥ avasthāpya purohitam anu jagāma
3.
Then, upon seeing Bharadvāja, Rāghava, having stationed those ministers, followed the priest.
वसिष्ठमथ दृष्ट्वैव भरद्वाजो महातपाः ।
संचचालासनात्तूर्णं शिष्यानर्घ्यमिति ब्रुवन् ॥४॥
संचचालासनात्तूर्णं शिष्यानर्घ्यमिति ब्रुवन् ॥४॥
4. vasiṣṭhamatha dṛṣṭvaiva bharadvājo mahātapāḥ ,
saṃcacālāsanāttūrṇaṃ śiṣyānarghyamiti bruvan.
saṃcacālāsanāttūrṇaṃ śiṣyānarghyamiti bruvan.
4.
vasiṣṭham atha dṛṣṭvā eva bharadvājaḥ mahātapaḥ

tūrṇam āsanāt sañcacāla śiṣyān arghyam iti bruvan
tūrṇam āsanāt sañcacāla śiṣyān arghyam iti bruvan
4.
Then, as soon as the great ascetic (mahātapaḥ) Bharadvāja saw Vasiṣṭha, he quickly stirred from his seat, instructing his disciples, "The respectful offering (arghya)!"
समागम्य वसिष्ठेन भरतेनाभिवादितः ।
अबुध्यत महातेजाः सुतं दशरथस्य तम् ॥५॥
अबुध्यत महातेजाः सुतं दशरथस्य तम् ॥५॥
5. samāgamya vasiṣṭhena bharatenābhivāditaḥ ,
abudhyata mahātejāḥ sutaṃ daśarathasya tam.
abudhyata mahātejāḥ sutaṃ daśarathasya tam.
5.
samāgamya vasiṣṭhena bharatena abhivāditaḥ
abudhyata mahātejāḥ sutam daśarathasya tam
abudhyata mahātejāḥ sutam daśarathasya tam
5.
vasiṣṭhena samāgamya bharatena abhivāditaḥ
mahātejāḥ tam daśarathasya sutam abudhyata
mahātejāḥ tam daśarathasya sutam abudhyata
5.
Having met Vasiṣṭha, and being greeted by Bharata, the immensely radiant (mahātejāḥ) sage understood him to be the son of Daśaratha.
ताभ्यामर्घ्यं च पाद्यं च दत्त्वा पश्चात् फलानि च ।
आनुपूर्व्याच्च धर्मज्ञः पप्रच्छ कुशलं कुले ॥६॥
आनुपूर्व्याच्च धर्मज्ञः पप्रच्छ कुशलं कुले ॥६॥
6. tābhyāmarghyaṃ ca pādyaṃ ca dattvā paścāt phalāni ca ,
ānupūrvyācca dharmajñaḥ papraccha kuśalaṃ kule.
ānupūrvyācca dharmajñaḥ papraccha kuśalaṃ kule.
6.
tābhyām arghyam ca pādyam ca dattvā paścāt phalāni
ca ānupūrvyāt ca dharmajñaḥ papraccha kuśalam kule
ca ānupūrvyāt ca dharmajñaḥ papraccha kuśalam kule
6.
tābhyām arghyam ca pādyam ca dattvā paścāt phalāni
ca ānupūrvyāt ca dharmajñaḥ kule kuśalam papraccha
ca ānupūrvyāt ca dharmajñaḥ kule kuśalam papraccha
6.
Having given to those two (Vasiṣṭha and Bharata) both the respectful offering (arghyam) and water for the feet (pādyam), and then fruits, the knower of natural law (dharmajñaḥ) subsequently inquired about the welfare of the family in due order.
अयोध्यायां बले कोशे मित्रेष्वपि च मन्त्रिषु ।
जानन्दशरथं वृत्तं न राजानमुदाहरत् ॥७॥
जानन्दशरथं वृत्तं न राजानमुदाहरत् ॥७॥

jānandaśarathaṃ vṛttaṃ na rājānamudāharat.
7.
ayodhyāyām bale kośe mitreṣu api ca mantriṣu

jānan daśaratham vṛttam na rājānam udāharat
7.
daśaratham vṛttam ayodhyāyām bale kośe mitreṣu
mantriṣu api ca jānan rājānam na udāharat
mantriṣu api ca jānan rājānam na udāharat
7.
Knowing the situation regarding Dasharatha in Ayodhya, its army, treasury, friends, and ministers, he did not refer to him as 'king'.
वसिष्ठो भरतश्चैनं पप्रच्छतुरनामयम् ।
शरीरे ऽग्निषु वृक्षेषु शिष्येषु मृगपक्षिषु ॥८॥
शरीरे ऽग्निषु वृक्षेषु शिष्येषु मृगपक्षिषु ॥८॥

śiṣyeṣu mṛgapakṣiṣu anāmayam papracchatuḥ
śiṣyeṣu mṛgapakṣiṣu anāmayam papracchatuḥ
8.
Vasistha and Bharata asked him about his welfare concerning his body, the sacred fires, the trees, his disciples, and the animals and birds.
तथेति च प्रतिज्ञाय भरद्वाजो महातपाः ।
भरतं प्रत्युवाचेदं राघवस्नेहबन्धनात् ॥९॥
भरतं प्रत्युवाचेदं राघवस्नेहबन्धनात् ॥९॥
9. tatheti ca pratijñāya bharadvājo mahātapāḥ ,

bharataṃ pratyuvācedaṃ rāghavasnehabandhanāt.
9.
tathā iti ca pratijñāya bharadvājaḥ mahātapāḥ

bharatam prati uvāca idam rāghavasnehabandhanāt
9.
mahātapāḥ bharadvājaḥ tathā iti ca pratijñāya
rāghavasnehabandhanāt bharatam prati idam uvāca
rāghavasnehabandhanāt bharatam prati idam uvāca
9.
And having assented with "So be it," Bharadvaja, the great ascetic, spoke this to Bharata, out of a bond of affection for Rama (Raghava).
किमिहागमने कार्यं तव राज्यं प्रशासतः ।
एतदाचक्ष्व मे सर्वं न हि मे शुध्यते मनः ॥१०॥
एतदाचक्ष्व मे सर्वं न हि मे शुध्यते मनः ॥१०॥
10. kimihāgamane kāryaṃ tava rājyaṃ praśāsataḥ ,
etadācakṣva me sarvaṃ na hi me śudhyate manaḥ.
etadācakṣva me sarvaṃ na hi me śudhyate manaḥ.
10.
kim iha āgamane kāryam tava rājyam praśāsataḥ
etat ācakṣva me sarvam na hi me śudhyate manaḥ
etat ācakṣva me sarvam na hi me śudhyate manaḥ
10.
rājyam praśāsataḥ tava iha āgamane kim kāryam? etat sarvam me ācakṣva,
hi me manaḥ na śudhyate.
hi me manaḥ na śudhyate.
10.
What is the purpose of your coming here, you who are ruling the kingdom? Tell me all this, for my mind is not clear.
सुषुवे यम मित्रघ्नं कौसल्यानन्दवर्धनम् ।
भ्रात्रा सह सभार्यो यश्चिरं प्रव्राजितो वनम् ॥११॥
भ्रात्रा सह सभार्यो यश्चिरं प्रव्राजितो वनम् ॥११॥
11. suṣuve yama mitraghnaṃ kausalyānandavardhanam ,

bhrātrā saha sabhāryo yaściraṃ pravrājito vanam.

11.
Kaushalya gave birth to him, the vanquisher of foes, who increased her joy, and who, with his brother and wife, was exiled to the forest for a long time.
नियुक्तः स्त्रीनियुक्तेन पित्रा यो ऽसौ महायशाः ।
वनवासी भवेतीह समाः किल चतुर्दश ॥१२॥
वनवासी भवेतीह समाः किल चतुर्दश ॥१२॥
12. niyuktaḥ strīniyuktena pitrā yo'sau mahāyaśāḥ ,

vanavāsī bhavetīha samāḥ kila caturdaśa.
12.

yaḥ asau mahāyaśāḥ strīniyuktena pitrā iha
caturdaśa samāḥ vanavāsī bhavet iti niyuktaḥ kila

12.
He (Rama), the highly renowned one, who was ordered by his father (Dasharatha), who himself was influenced by a woman (Kaikeyi), to become a forest dweller here for fourteen years.
कच्चिन्न तस्यापापस्य पापं कर्तुमिहेच्छसि ।
अकण्टकं भोक्तुमना राज्यं तस्यानुजस्य च ॥१३॥
अकण्टकं भोक्तुमना राज्यं तस्यानुजस्य च ॥१३॥

akaṇṭakaṃ bhoktumanā rājyaṃ tasyānujasya ca.
akaṇṭakaṃ bhoktumanā rājyaṃ tasyānujasya ca.

akaṇṭakam tasya anujasya ca rājyam bhoktum manāḥ
akaṇṭakam tasya anujasya ca rājyam bhoktum manāḥ
13.
Surely you do not wish to commit evil here against that faultless one (Rama), desiring to enjoy his kingdom and that of his younger brother (Lakshmana) without hindrance?
एवमुक्तो भरद्वाजं भरतः प्रत्युवाच ह ।
पर्यश्रु नयनो दुःखाद्वाचा संसज्जमानया ॥१४॥
पर्यश्रु नयनो दुःखाद्वाचा संसज्जमानया ॥१४॥

paryaśru nayano duḥkhādvācā saṃsajjamānayā.

saṃsajjamānayā vācā bharadvājam pratyuvāca ha
14.
Thus addressed, Bharata replied to Bharadvaja, his eyes filled with tears from sorrow, and with a faltering voice.
हतो ऽस्मि यदि मामेवं भगवानपि मन्यते ।
मत्तो न दोषमाशङ्केर्नैवं मामनुशाधि हि ॥१५॥
मत्तो न दोषमाशङ्केर्नैवं मामनुशाधि हि ॥१५॥
15. hato'smi yadi māmevaṃ bhagavānapi manyate ,
matto na doṣamāśaṅkernaivaṃ māmanuśādhi hi.
matto na doṣamāśaṅkernaivaṃ māmanuśādhi hi.
15.
hataḥ asmi yadi mām evam bhagavān api manyate

mattaḥ na doṣam āśaṅker na evam mām anuśādhi hi
15.
yadi bhagavān api mām evam hataḥ asmi manyate,
mattaḥ doṣam na āśaṅker,
hi evam mām na anuśādhi.
mattaḥ doṣam na āśaṅker,
hi evam mām na anuśādhi.
15.
If even your venerable self (Bhagavān) considers me thus condemned, then you should not suspect any fault from me. Indeed, do not instruct me in this manner.
न चैतदिष्टं माता मे यदवोचन्मदन्तरे ।
नाहमेतेन तुष्टश्च न तद्वचनमाददे ॥१६॥
नाहमेतेन तुष्टश्च न तद्वचनमाददे ॥१६॥
16. na caitadiṣṭaṃ mātā me yadavocanmadantare ,

16.
na ca etat iṣṭam mātā me yat avocan mat antare

na aham etena tuṣṭaḥ ca na tat vacanam ādadhe
16.

etat na iṣṭam.
aham etena ca na tuṣṭaḥ,
tat vacanam na ādadhe.
etat na iṣṭam.
aham etena ca na tuṣṭaḥ,
tat vacanam na ādadhe.
16.
And this (action) that my mother spoke concerning me is not desired by me. I am not pleased by it, nor do I accept her words.
अहं तु तं नरव्याघ्रमुपयातः प्रसादकः ।
प्रतिनेतुमयोध्यां च पादौ तस्याभिवन्दितुम् ॥१७॥
प्रतिनेतुमयोध्यां च पादौ तस्याभिवन्दितुम् ॥१७॥

tasya pādau abhivanditum.
17.
But I have come as an appeaser to that tiger among men (Rama), both to lead him back to Ayodhyā and to worship his feet.
त्वं मामेवंगतं मत्वा प्रसादं कर्तुमर्हसि ।
शंस मे भगवन् रामः क्व संप्रति महीपतिः ॥१८॥
शंस मे भगवन् रामः क्व संप्रति महीपतिः ॥१८॥

18.
tvam mām evamgatam matvā,

bhagavan rāmaḥ,
me śaṃsa,
kva samprati mahīpatiḥ?
prasādam kartum arhasi.
bhagavan rāmaḥ,
me śaṃsa,
kva samprati mahīpatiḥ?
18.
You, therefore, considering me to be in this state (of submission and distress), ought to show favor. Tell me, venerable sir (Bhagavān) Rama, where is the king (mahīpati) now?
उवाच तं भरद्वाजः प्रसादाद्भरतं वचः ।

19.
Sage Bharadvaja, out of compassion, spoke these words to Bharata: "This conduct - respect for teachers (guru), self-control, and adherence to the path of righteous people - is indeed fitting for you, O tiger among men, born in the lineage of Raghu."
जाने चैतन्मनःस्थं ते दृढीकरणमस्त्विति ।

"I know this sentiment is already in your heart, and let this (my statement) be a confirmation of it. I asked you (about it) in order to greatly enhance your renown."
असौ वसति ते भ्राता चित्रकूटे महागिरौ ।

21.
Your brother (Rama) dwells there on the great mountain Chitrakuta. Tomorrow, however, you will go to that region. Today, stay here with your ministers. O very wise one, skilled in matters of desire (kāma) and prosperity (artha), please fulfill this wish of mine.
ततस्तथेत्येवमुदारदर्शनः प्रतीतरूपो भरतो ऽब्रवीद्वचः ।

22.
Then Bharata, who was of noble and confident appearance, replied with the words, 'So be it.' And the king's son then made the decision to stay overnight in the great hermitage.
