2.111.1
वसिष्ठस्तु तदा राममुक्त्वा राजपुरोऺहितः ।
अब्रवीद्धर्मसंयुक्तं पुनरेवापरं वचः ॥ २.१११.१ ॥
Then Vasiṣṭha, the king's household priest, having spoken thus to Rāma, again spoke another word full of dharma.
2.111.2
पुरुषस्येह जातस्य भवन्ति गुरवस्त्रयः ।
आचार्य्यश्चैव काकुत्स्थ पिता माता च राघव ॥ २.१११.२ ॥
O Kākutstha, O Rāghava! For a person born into this world there are three teachers: the preceptor, the father, and the mother.
2.111.3
पिता ह्येनं जनयति पुरुषं पुरुषर्षभ ।
प्रज्ञां ददाति चाचार्यस्तस्मात्स गुरुरुच्यते ॥ २.१११.३ ॥
O best of men, the father indeed begets this person, and the preceptor bestows understanding; therefore he is called guru.
2.111.4
सो ऽहं ते पितुराचार्य्यस्तव चैव परन्तप ।
मम त्वं वचनं कुर्वन् नातिवर्त्तेः सताङ्गतिम् ॥ २.१११.४ ॥
O scorcher of foes, I am the preceptor of your father and of you as well. Heeding my word, do not transgress the path of the good.
2.111.5
इमा हि ते परिषदः श्रेणयश्च द्विजास्तथा ।
एषु तात चरन् धर्मं नातिवर्त्तेः सताङ्गतिम् ॥ २.१११.५ ॥
Dear child, these are your assemblies, guilds, and twice-born brahmins as well. Practising dharma among them, do not transgress the path of the good.
2.111.6
वृद्धाया धर्मशीलाया मातुर्नार्हस्यवर्त्तितुम् ।
अस्यास्तु वचनं कुर्वन् नातिवर्त्तेः सताङ्गतिम् ॥ २.१११.६ ॥
It is not fitting for you to disregard your aged, virtuous mother. Heeding her word, do not transgress the path of the good.
2.111.7
भरतस्य वचः कुर्वन् याचमानस्य राघव ।
आत्मानं नातिवर्त्तेस्त्वं सत्यधर्मपराक्रम ॥ २.१११.७ ॥
O Rāghava, fulfil the word of Bharata, who is pleading. You, whose valour rests in truth and dharma, should not turn yourself away from it.
2.111.8
एवं मधुरमुक्तस्तु गुरुणा राघवः स्वयम् ।
प्रत्युवाच समासीनं वसिष्ठं पुरुषर्षभः ॥ २.१११.८ ॥
Thus addressed gently by the teacher, Rāghava himself replied to Vasiṣṭha, who was seated there, the best of men.
2.111.9
यन्मातापितरौ वृत्तं तनये कुरुतः सदा ।
न सुप्रतिकरं तत्तु मात्रा पित्रा च यत्कृतम् ॥ २.१११.९ ॥
The conduct that a mother and father always show toward a son — the kindness done by mother and father cannot easily be repaid.
2.111.10
यथाशक्ति प्रदानेन स्नापनोच्छादनेन च ।
नित्यं च प्रियवादेन तथा संवर्द्धनेन च ॥ २.१११.१० ॥
By giving according to their ability, by bathing and anointing, by constantly speaking pleasant words, and likewise by nurturing and rearing — so did they bring up the son.
2.111.11
स हि राजा जनयिता पिता दशरथो मम ।
आज्ञातं यन्मया तस्य न तन्मिथ्या भविष्यति ॥ २.१११.११ ॥
That king Daśaratha, my father who begot me — the command he has given shall not be made false by me.
2.111.12
एवमुक्तस्तु रामेण भरतः प्रत्यनन्तरम् ।
उवाच परमोदारः सूतं परमदुर्मनाः ॥ २.१११.१२ ॥
Thus addressed by Rāma, the most magnanimous Bharata, deeply distressed in mind, at once spoke in reply to the charioteer.
2.111.13
इह मे स्थण्डिले शीघ्रं कुशानास्तर सारथे ।
आर्य्यं प्रत्युपवेक्ष्यामि यावन्मे न प्रसीदति ॥ २.१११.१३ ॥
Charioteer, quickly spread kuśa grass for me here on the bare ground. I will sit facing the noble one until he is pleased with me.
2.111.14
अनाहारो निरालोको धनहीनो यथा द्विजः ।
शेष्ये पुरस्तात् शालाया यावन्न प्रतियास्यति ॥ २.१११.१४ ॥
Fasting, dispirited, like a brahmin bereft of wealth, I will lie down in front of the hall until he returns.
2.111.15
स तु राममवेक्षन्तं सुमन्त्रं प्रेक्ष्य दुर्मनाः ।
कुशोत्तरमुपस्थाप्य भूमावेवास्तरत् स्वयम् ॥ २.१११.१५ ॥
But seeing Sumantra gazing toward Rāma, Bharata, sorrowful, himself spread a bed of kuśa grass on the ground.
2.111.16
तमुवाच महातेजा रामो राजर्षिसत्तमः ।
किं मां भरत कुर्वाणं तात प्रत्युपवेक्ष्यसि ॥ २.१११.१६ ॥
Rāma, of great radiance, best of royal sages, said to him: "Bharata, what are you doing? Dear one, why do you wish to sit down in front of me?"
2.111.17
ब्राह्मणो ह्येकपार्श्वेन नरान् रोद्धुमिहार्हति ।
न तु मूर्द्धाभिषिक्तानां विधिः प्रत्युपवेशने ॥ २.१११.१७ ॥
A brahmin may sit to one side and restrain men here; but it is not the rule for one anointed on the head to sit down in front of another so anointed.
2.111.18
उत्तिष्ठ नरशार्दूल हित्वैतद्दारुणं व्रतम् ।
पुरवर्य्यामितः क्षिप्रमयोध्यां याहि राघव ॥ २.१११.१८ ॥
Rise, tiger among men! Give up this harsh vow, and, descendant of Raghu, go quickly from here to the excellent city of Ayodhyā.
2.111.19
आसीनस्त्वेव भरतः पौरजानपदं जनम् ।
उवाच सर्वतः प्रेक्ष्य किमार्यं नानुशासथ ॥ २.१११.१९ ॥
Bharata, still seated, looked around and said to the townsfolk and country people: "Noble ones, why do you not instruct him?"
2.111.20
ते तमूचुर्महात्मानं पौरजानपदा जनाः ।
काकुत्स्थमभिजानीमः सम्यग्वदति राघवः ॥ २.१११.२० ॥
Then the townsfolk and country people said to that great-souled one: "We know Kākutstha; Rāghava speaks rightly."
2.111.21
एषो ऽपि हि महाभागः पितुर्वचसि तिष्ठति ।
अत एव न शक्ताः स्मो व्यावर्त्तयितुमञ्जसा ॥ २.१११.२१ ॥
"This greatly fortunate one too abides by his father's word; therefore we are not able to turn him back easily."
2.111.22
तेषामाज्ञाय वचनं रामो वचनमब्रवीत् ।
एवं निबोध वचनं सुहृदां धर्मचक्षुषाम् ॥ २.१११.२२ ॥
Understanding their words, Rāma spoke: "Understand these words of your friends, whose eyes are dharma, thus."
2.111.23
एतच्चैवोभयं श्रुत्वा सम्यक् सम्पश्य राघव ।
उत्तिष्ठ त्वं महाबाहो मां च स्पृश तथोदकम् ॥ २.१११.२३ ॥
"O Rāghava, having heard both of these, consider well. Rise, O mighty-armed one, and touch me and the water."
2.111.24
अथोत्थाय जलं स्पृष्ट्वा भरतो वाक्यमब्रवीत् ।
श्रृण्वन्तु मे परिषदो मन्त्रिणः श्रेणयस्तथा ॥ २.१११.२४ ॥
Then, rising and touching the water, Bharata spoke: "Let the assemblies, the ministers and the guilds hear me."
2.111.25
न याचे पितरं राज्यं नानुशासामि मातरम् ।
आर्यं परमधर्मज्ञं नानुजानामि राघवम् ॥ २.१११.२५ ॥
I do not ask my father for the kingdom, nor do I command my mother, nor do I grant leave to the noble Rāghava, knower of supreme dharma.
2.111.26
यदि त्ववश्यं वस्तव्यं कर्त्तव्यं च पितुर्वचः ।
अहमेव निवत्स्यामि चतुर्दश समा वने ॥ २.१११.२६ ॥
If indeed you must dwell, and the father's word must be fulfilled, then I myself will dwell in the forest for fourteen years.
2.111.27
धर्मात्मा तस्य तथ्येन भ्रातुर्वाक्येन विस्मितः ।
उवाच रामः सम्प्रेक्ष्य पौरजानपदं जनम् ॥ २.१११.२७ ॥
Rāma, the righteous-souled, astonished at his brother's truthful words, looked upon the townsfolk and the people of the countryside and spoke.
2.111.28
विक्रीतमाहितं क्रीतं यत् पित्रा जीवता मम ।
न तल्लोपयितुं शक्यं मया वा भरतेन वा ॥ २.१११.२८ ॥
What was sold, placed in pledge, or bought for me by my father while he lived cannot be undone, either by me or by Bharata.
2.111.29
अपधिर्न मया कार्य्यो वनवासे जुगुप्सितः ।
युक्तमुक्तं च कैकेय्या पित्रा मे सुकृतं कृतम् ॥ २.१११.२९ ॥
I see no reproachable fault in the forest exile. What Kaikeyī said is proper, and my father has done a good deed.
2.111.30
जानामि भरतं क्षान्तं गुरुसत्कारकारिणम् ।
सर्वमेवात्र कल्याणं सत्यसन्धे महात्मनि ॥ २.१११.३० ॥
I know Bharata to be patient and one who honours his elders. In this great-souled, truth-vowed man, all of this is indeed for good.
2.111.31
अनेन धर्मशीलेन वनात् प्रत्यागतः पुनः ।
भ्रात्रा सह भविष्यामि पृथिव्याः पतिरुत्तमः ॥ २.१११.३१ ॥
With this virtuous brother, having returned again from the forest, I shall once more become the best lord of the earth.
2.111.32
वृतो राजा हि कैकेय्या मया तद्वचनं कृतम् ।
अनृतन्मोचयानेन पितरं तं महीपतिम् ॥ २.१११.३२ ॥
The king was bound by Kaikeyī through a boon, and I fulfilled that word. By this, free that father, lord of the earth, from falsehood.
