Bharat subhau na sugam nigamahuun

Chaupai 1, Under Doha 304 · Ayodhya Kand

Chaupai Text

भरत सुभाउ न सुगम निगमहूँ। लघु मति चापलता कबि छमहूँ॥ कहत सुनत सति भाउ भरत को। सीय राम पद होइ न रत को॥ १ ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

bharata subhāu na sugama nigamahūṃ। laghu mati cāpalatā kabi chamahūṃ॥ kahata sunata sati bhāu bharata ko। sīya rāma pada hoi na rata ko॥ 1 ॥

Meaning

Bharata's nature is not easy to describe even for the Vedas. Therefore, let the poets forgive the restlessness of my humble intellect! Hearing and speaking of Bharata's noble feeling, who would not become devoted to the feet of Sita and Rama?
