to be the like of Bharata. Can Mount Sumeru be likened to a seer?* Hence the wit of the
race of poets was confused (in finding a comparison for him). (288)

ìThe 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: Bharataís inestimable glory
is known to ›r∂ Råma alone; but he too cannot describe it.î Having thus lovingly
described Bharataís glory the king, who knew his queenís mind, continued, ìIf Lakmaƒa
returns to Ayodhyå and Bharata accompanies ›r∂ Råma 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 ›r∂ Råma (the chief of Raghus) are beyond oneís conception. Even
though ›r∂ Råma 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 ›r∂ Råmaís feet is at once the means
and the end; to my mind this appears to sum up Bharataís creed. (1ó4)

ìBharata would never think of flouting ›r∂ Råmaís orders even unwittingly. We
need not, therefore, in our affection give way to anxiety,î said the king in choked
accents. (289)
