कारन कवन भरतु बन जाहीं। है कछु कपट भाउ मन माहीं॥ जौं पै जियँ न होति कुटिलाई। तौ कत लीन्ह संग कटकाई॥ २ ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

kārana kavana bharatu bana jāhīṃ। hai kachu kapaṭa bhāu mana māhīṃ॥ jauṃ pai jiyaṃ na hoti kuṭilāī। tau kata līhna saṃga kaṭakāī॥ 2 ॥

Meaning

What is the reason that Bharata is going to the forest? There must surely be some deceit in his mind. If there were no crookedness in his heart, why would he have brought an army along?
