enamoured of his virtues it is unable to describe them; the poetís wit finds itself as
helpless as an infantís speech. (1ó4)

Bharataís untarnished glory is like the moon without its spot while the poetís
brilliant wit is like the young of a Cakora bird that remains gazing with unwinking eyes
when it sees the moon rising in the heavens of a guileless devoteeís heart. (303)

Bharataís noble sentiment cannot be easily grasped even by the Vedas; pardon,
therefore, O poets! the frivolity of my poor wits. By discussing Bharataís genuine love
who will not get devoted to the feet of S∂tå and ›r∂ Råma? Is there anyone so vile as the
man who is not easily inspired with love for ›r∂ Råma by the very thought of Bharata?
Seeing the plight of all and knowing what was in the mind of His devotee (Bharata) and
after fully considering the place, time, occasion and gathering, the all-merciful and allknowing
›r∂ Råma, the Lord of Raghus, who was a champion of virtue, self-possessed
and prudent, and an ocean of truth, love, amiability and joy, nay, who respected the laws
of propriety and was faithful in His love, spoke words which formed the very essence
as it were of eloquence and which were salutary in consequence and sweet as nectar
to hear: ìDear Bharata, you are an upholder of righteousness, well-versed in secular lore
as well as in the Vedas and adept in love.î (1ó4)
