“The greatness of Bharata, O fair lady, baffles all who attempt to describe it, even as a fish cannot glide on dry land. Listen, O beloved queen: Bharata’s inestimable glory is known to Ýr¶ RŒma alone; but he too cannot describe it.” Having thus lovingly described Bharata’s glory the king, who knew his queen’s mind, continued, “If Lakƒma˜a returns to AyodhyŒ and Bharata accompanies Ýr¶ RŒma to the woods, it will be well for all and that is what everyone wants. But the mutual affection and confidence, O good lady, of Bharata and Ýr¶ RŒma (the chief of Raghus) are beyond one’s conception. Even though Ýr¶ RŒma is the highest example of even-mindedness, Bharata is the perfection of love and attachment. Bharata has never bestowed any thought on his spiritual or worldly interests or personal comforts. Devotion to Ýr¶ RŒma’s feet is at once the means and the end; to my mind this appears to sum up Bharata’s creed. (1—4)
