devotees. ›r∂ Råma has ever respected the wishes of His devotees: the Vedas and
Puråƒas as well as saints and gods can bear testimony to this. Bearing this in mind give
up perversity and cherish ideal love for Bharataís feet.î (1ó4)

ì›r∂ Råmaís devotees are actively engaged doing good to others, share the
sorrows of others and are compassionate by nature. And Bharata is the very crest-jewel
of devotees; therefore, be not afraid of him, O ruler of gods.î (219)

ëë The Lord is true to His word and a friend of the gods, while Bharata obeys ›r∂
Råmaís orders. You are feeling uneasy only because you are dominated by self-interest.
Bharata is not to blame at all; it is your ignorance (which is responsible for your uneasiness).î
The chief of gods, Indra, was overjoyed at heart to hear these valuable words of the
heavenly preceptor and his depression of spirit was gone. The lord of celestials, therefore,
rained down flowers and gladly began to extol Bharataís noble disposition. In this way
Bharata went on his way, while sages and Siddhas were filled with envy at the sight of his
condition. Whenever he heaved a long sigh with the word ëRåmaí on his lips, it seemed as
if love overflowed on all sides. Even adamant and stones melted at his words; the love of
the citizens was beyond description. Halting at one place on this side the party arrived on
the bank of the Yamunå and Bharataís eyes were filled with tears as he gazed on its dark
water (which reminded him of ›r∂ Råmaís swarthy form). (1ó4)
