The moment Bharata heard the words of his friend (Guha) and saw the trees
tears rushed to his eyes. The two brothers (Bharata and ›atrughna) made obeisance
as they proceeded; even ›åradå (the goddess of speech) felt diffident in describing
their love (for ›r∂ Råma). They were as delighted to behold ›r∂ Råmaís footprints as
a pauper who had stumbled on a philosopherís stone. Placing the dust on their head
and heart they applied it to their eyes and experienced the same degree of joy as they
would on seeing the Chief of Raghus Himself. Perceiving Bharataís condition, which
was altogether beyond description, beasts and birds and even inanimate creatures
(such as trees etc.,) were overwhelmed with emotion. Overpowered by love Bharataís
friend (Guha) lost his way; but the gods showed it to him and rained flowers. Godrealized
saints as well as striving souls were filled with love at his very sight and began
to praise his natural affection. If Bharata had not been born on this globe (or if the earth
had not witnessed his love) it would not have been possible to turn inanimate into
animate and animate into inanimate beings. (1ó4)
