Do.: aratha na dharama na kåma ruci gati na cahau° nirabåna,
janama janama rati råma pada yaha baradånu na åna.204.
"I have no liking for wealth nor for religious merit nor for sensuous enjoyment nor
again do I seek the state of perfect and perpetual calm. Birth after birth let me have
devotion to ›r∂ Råma's feet: this is the only boon I ask and nought else."

"Let ›r∂ Råma take me for a wicked fellow, and let the people call me an enemy
of my preceptor and master. All the same by your grace may my devotion to the feet of
S∂tå and ›r∂ Råma grow day by day. The cloud may neglect the Cåtaka bird all its life
and on its asking water may discharge thunderbolt and hail. But the bird will fall in the
estimation of others if it ceases to call out to the cloud. It will gain in everyway only by
intensifying its love for the latter. Just as gold gets brighter by being put into the fire, even
so the lover shines by sticking to his vow of devotion to the feet of his most beloved
lord." In response to Bharata's prayer there came a sweet and benedictory utterance
from the midst of the TriveĶ: "Dear Bharata, you are pious in everyway and your love
for ›r∂ Råma's feet is unbounded. In vain do you harbour depressing thoughts in your
mind; there is no one so dear to Råma as you are." (1ó4)

Do.: tanu pulakeu hiya° harau suni beni bacana anukµula,
bharata dhanya kahi dhanya sura haraita baraahiÚ phµula.205.
A thrill ran through Bharata's body and his soul rejoiced to hear the agreeable
words of the (deity presiding over) TriveĶ. Exclaiming "Bharata is praiseworthy, all
praise to him!" the gods joyfully rained flowers. (205)
