THE RAMAYANA
 
निरीक्ष्य स मुहूर्त तु ददर्श भरतो गुरुम् ।
उपविष्टं महाबाहु सीतया लक्ष्मणेन च ॥
 
Looking for a while, Bharata saw his
worshipful and mighty-armed brother
Rama, seated along with Sita and
Lakshmana.
 
तं दृष्ट्वा भरतः श्रीमान् दुःखमोहपरिप्लुतः ।
अभ्यधावत धर्मात्मा भरतः कैकयीसुतः ।
पादावप्राण्य रामस्य पपात भरतो रुदन् ॥
 
Seeing him and being overwhelmed
with grief and affliction, the auspicious
and righteous-minded Bharata, the son of
Kaikeyi, ran forward and fell down cry-
ing, unable to reach the feet of Rama.
 
बाप्पापिहितकण्ठश्च प्रेक्ष्य रामं यशस्विनम् ।
आर्येत्येवाथ संक्रुश्य व्याहतु नाशकत्ततः ॥
 
With his throat choked with tears and
seeing Rama of great fame, he cried out :
'Noble Lords' but was unable then to
speak further.
 
शत्रुघ्नश्चापि रामस्य ववन्दे चरणौ रुदन् ।
 
And Satrughna also saluted the feet of
 
Rama, shedding tears.
