Bharat bachan sab kahan priya lage

Chaupai 1, Under Doha 184 · Ayodhya Kand

Chaupai Text

भरत बचन सब कहँ प्रिय लागे। राम सनेह सुधाँ जनु पागे॥ लोग बियोग बिषम बिष दागे। मंत्र सबीज सुनत जनु जागे॥ १ ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

bharata bacana saba kahaṃ priya lāgē। rāma saneha sudhāṃ janu pāgē॥ loga biyoga biṣama biṣa dāgē। maṃtra sabīja sunata janu jāgē॥ 1 ॥

Meaning

Bharat's words were dear to everyone, as though steeped in the nectar of Rama's love. The people, scorched by the terrible poison of separation from Rama, seemed to awaken as soon as they heard the mantra with seed (the living mantra).
