THE RAMAYANA
 
निरीक्ष्य स मुहूर्तं तु ददर्श भरतो गुरुम् ।

उपविष्टं महाबाहुहुं 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 व्याहतुर्तुं 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.
