कथञ्चिदभिविज्ञाय विवर्णवदनं कृशम् ।
भ्रातरं भरतं राम परिजग्राह बाहुना ॥
Recognising with difficulty his emaciat-
ed brother Bharata who had fallen on the
ground with folded hands and was wear-
ing matted hair and bark garments and
whose face had lost all colour, Rama
raised him up with his hand.
आघ्राय रामस्तं मूर्ध्नि परिष्वज्य च राघवः ।
अङ्के भरतमारोप्य पर्यपृच्छत् समाहितः ॥
153
Smelling him on his crown and
embracing him and seating him on his
lap, Raghava, with a calm mind, asked
Bharata :
कच्चिन्नु धरते तात राजा यत्त्वमिहागतः ।
कच्चिन्न दीनः सहसा राजा लोकान्तरं गतः ॥
Our father the king is still alive, is he
not?—that you have come here; and the
poor king has not, I hope, gone suddenly
to the other world.
रामस्य वचनं श्रुत्वा भरतः प्रत्युवाच ह ।
