kaccinnakhalukāpeyīsevyatecakacittatā | na hipaśyāmikākutsthaṃrāmamāryaṃparantapam

"O monkey! Indeed, you monkey being fickle minded, hope you have not resorted to your nature. I am not seeing noble Rama, the tormentor of enemies."

"By the grace of Bharadwaja, all the trees have fruits shedding sweet juice, and in bloom, the Vanaras are very delighted. The forest rangers are making terrific sounds. The tormentor of enemies, endowed with all virtues, by virtue of the boon given by Indra extended hospitality to the Vanara army. I think they are crossing the river Gomathi now."

tadetaddṛśyatedūrādvimānaṃcandrasannibham | vimānaṃpuṣpakaṃdivyaṃmanasābrahmanirmitam

Pushpaka is seen at a distance, resembling the moon. This wonderful Pushpaka has been created through Brahma's mind.

"Rama's vehicle is amazing, and he got it by killing Ravana and his relatives. It shines brightly like the rising sun, and it speeds at the thought of mind. Kubera got this aerial car by Brahma's grace."

manasābrahmaṇāsṛṣṭevimānebharatāgrajaḥ rarājapṛthudīrghākṣovajrapāṇirivāparaḥ |

Sri Rama, elder brother of Bharata shone in the aerial car created by Brahma like another Indra.

ततोविमानाग्रगतंभरतोभ्रातरंतदा ।।6.130.36।। ववन्देप्रणतोरामंमेरुस्थमिवभास्करम् ।

tatovimānāgragataṃbharatobhrātaraṃtadā vavandepraṇatorāmaṃmerusthamivabhāskaram |

Then Bharata offered salutations with joined palms to Sri Rama seated in the peak of Pushpaka like saluting Sun from the mountain Meru.

ततोरामाभ्यनुज्ञातंतद्विमानमनुत्तमम् ।।6.130.37।। हंसयुक्तंमहावेगंनिपपातमहीतले ।

tatorāmābhyanujñātaṃtadvimānamanuttamam haṃsayuktaṃmahāvegaṃnipapātamahītale |

Then that excellent Pushpaka which had pictures of swans on it came down to the ground with Rama's permission.

आपितोविमानंतद्भरतस्सत्यविक्रमः ।।6.130.38।। राममासाद्यमुदितःपुनरेवाभ्यवादयत् ।

āpitovimānaṃtadbharatassatyavikramaḥ rāmamāsādyamuditaḥpunarevābhyavādayat |

Bharata of unfailing valour duly permitted to ascend Pushpaka by Sri Rama, reached Rama and once again offered salutations to Rama.

तंसमुत्थाप्यकाकुत्स्थश्चिरस्याक्षिरथंगतम् ।।6.130.39।। अङ्केभरतमारोप्यमुदितःपरिषस्वजे ।

taṃsamutthāpyakākutsthaścirasyākṣirathaṃgatam aṅkebharatamāropyamuditaḥpariṣasvaje |

Kakuthsa Rama happily lifting up Bharata, who came into his sight after long, on to his thigh embraced him.

ततोलक्ष्मणमासाद्यवैदेहीं च परन्तपः ।।6.130.40।। अथाभ्यवादयप्रतीतोभरतोनामचाब्रवीत् ।

tatolakṣmaṇamāsādyavaidehīṃ ca parantapaḥ athābhyavādayapratītobharatonāmacābravīt |

Then the tormentor of enemies, Bharata approached Lakshmana and then greeted Vaidehi and announced his name.

सुग्रीवंकेकयीपुत्रोजाम्बवन्तमथाङ्गदम् ।।6.130.41।। मैन्दं च द्विविदंनीलमृषभंपरिषस्वजे ।

sugrīvaṃkekayīputrojāmbavantamathāṅgadam maindaṃ ca dvividaṃnīlamṛṣabhaṃpariṣasvaje |

Bharata, the son of Kaikeyi thereafter embraced Sugriva, Jambavantha, Angada, Mainda, Dwivivida, Nila and Rshaba.

सुषेणं च नलंचैवगवाक्षंगन्धमादनम् ।।6.130.42।। शरभंपनसंचैवपरितःपरिषस्वजे ।

suṣeṇaṃ ca nalaṃcaivagavākṣaṃgandhamādanam śarabhaṃpanasaṃcaivaparitaḥpariṣasvaje |

तेकृत्वामानुषंरूपंवानराःकामरूपिणः ।।6.130.43।। कुशलंपर्यपृच्छंस्तेप्रहृष्टाभरतंतदा ।

tekṛtvāmānuṣaṃrūpaṃvānarāḥkāmarūpiṇaḥ kuśalaṃparyapṛcchaṃsteprahṛṣṭābharataṃtadā |

Then he inquired about the welfare of those Vanaras who can take any form at will, who were in human form and was delighted.

अथाब्रवीद्राजपुत्रस्सुग्रीवंवानरर्षभम् ।।6.130.44।। परिष्वज्यमहातेजाभरतोधर्मिणांवरः ।

athābravīdrājaputrassugrīvaṃvānararṣabham pariṣvajyamahātejābharatodharmiṇāṃvaraḥ |

And thereafter highly brilliant, foremost among the righteous, prince Bharata embraced Sugriva, the bull among Vanaras and spoke.

त्वम्स्माकंचतुर्णांवैभ्रातासुग्रीवपञ्चमः ।।6.130.45।। सौहार्दाज्जायतेमित्रमपकारोऽरिलक्षणम् ।

tvamsmākaṃcaturṇāṃvaibhrātāsugrīvapañcamaḥ sauhārdājjāyatemitramapakāro'rilakṣaṇam |

"Sugriva, you are the fifth brother to four of us and should have been born like that" said Bharata. One who helps becomes friend and maleficence is a sign of an enemy.

विभीषणं च भरतःसान्त्ववाक्यमथाब्रवीत् ।।6.130.46।। दिष्ट्यात्वयासहायेनकृतंकर्मसुदुष्करम् ।

vibhīṣaṇaṃ ca bharataḥsāntvavākyamathābravīt diṣṭyātvayāsahāyenakṛtaṃkarmasuduṣkaram |

And then Bharata spoke this good word. "Luckily with your help, the very difficult task was done."

शत्रुघ्नश्चतदाराममभिवाद्यसलक्ष्मणम् ।।6.130.47।। सीतायाश्चरणौवीरोविनयादभ्यवादयत् ।

śatrughnaścatadārāmamabhivādyasalakṣmaṇam sītāyāścaraṇauvīrovinayādabhyavādayat |

Then hero Shatrughna and Lakshmana also greeted Rama and then worshipped Sita also.

रामोमातरमासाद्यविवर्णांशोककर्शिताम् ।।6.130.48।। जग्राहप्रणतःपादौमनोमातुःप्रहर्षयन् ।

rāmomātaramāsādyavivarṇāṃśokakarśitām jagrāhapraṇataḥpādaumanomātuḥpraharṣayan |

Rama reached his mother who was pale and emaciated in grief and offered salutations clasping her feet in obedience and was delighted in his mind.

अभिवाद्यसुमित्रां च कैकेयीं च यशस्विनीम् ।।6.130.49।। स मात्रूश्चततस्सर्वापुरोहितमुपागमत् ।

abhivādyasumitrāṃ ca kaikeyīṃ ca yaśasvinīm sa mātrūścatatassarvāpurohitamupāgamat |

Then he greeted Sumitra, and illustrious Kaikeyi also and then all the mothers and the priests who had come.

स्वागतंतेमहाबाहोकौसल्यानन्दवर्धना ।।6.130.50।। इतिप्राञ्जलयःसर्वेनागराराममब्रुवन् ।

svāgataṃtemahābāhokausalyānandavardhanā itiprāñjalayaḥsarvenāgarārāmamabruvan |

"Welcome to you mighty armed Rama, enhancer of Kausalya's joy" saying so citizens of the city spoke with folded hand s greeting Rama.

tānyañjalisahasrāṇipragṛhītānināgaraiḥ vyākocānīvapadmānidadarśabharatāgrajaḥ |

The citizens in thousands greeting Rama, elder brother of Bharata lifting up their hand s with folded palms seemed like lotus buds.

पादुकेतेतुरामस्यगृहीत्वाभरतस्स्वयम् ।।6.130.52।। चरणाभ्यांनरेन्द्रस्ययोजयामासधर्मवित् ।

pāduketeturāmasyagṛhītvābharatassvayam caraṇābhyāṃnarendrasyayojayāmāsadharmavit |

Taking the sandals given to Bharata, the knower of dharma put on the sandals on Rama's feet by himself.

अब्रवीच्चतदारामंभरतः स कृताञ्जलिः ।।6.130.53।। एतत्तेसकलंराज्यंन्यासंनिर्यातितंमया ।

abravīccatadārāmaṃbharataḥ sa kṛtāñjaliḥ etattesakalaṃrājyaṃnyāsaṃniryātitaṃmayā |

Bharata then greeted Rama with folded palms, spoke saying, "this kingdom and everything held in trust by me is returned to you."

अद्यजन्मकृतार्थंमेसम्वृत्तश्चमनोरथः ।।6.130.54।। यत्त्वांपश्यामिराजानमयोध्यांपुनरागतम् ।

adyajanmakṛtārthaṃmesamvṛttaścamanorathaḥ yattvāṃpaśyāmirājānamayodhyāṃpunarāgatam |

Today my life is fulfilled, my wish is completed. I am seeing you returned to Ayodhya again as king of this kingdom.

avekṣatāṃbhavānśokaṃkoṣṭhāgāraṃgṛhaṃbalam bhavatastejasāsarvaṃkṛtaṃdaśaguṇaṃmayā |

You may review your treasury, granary, palaces, army. Everything has increased tenfold by me by virtue of your brilliance.

तथाब्रुवाणंभरतंदृष्टवातंभ्रातृवत्सलम् ।।6.130.56।। मुमुचुर्वानराबाष्पंराक्षसश्चविभीषणः ।

tathābruvāṇaṃbharataṃdṛṣṭavātaṃbhrātṛvatsalam mumucurvānarābāṣpaṃrākṣasaścavibhīṣaṇaḥ |

Seeing Bharata, the lover of his brother, who spoke like that, the Vanaras, Rakshasas, and Vibheeshana shed tears.

ततःप्रहर्षाद्भरतमङ्गमारोप्यराघवः ।।6.130.57।। ययौतेनविमानेनससैन्योभरताश्रमम् ।

tataḥpraharṣādbharatamaṅgamāropyarāghavaḥ yayautenavimānenasasainyobharatāśramam |

Then rejoiced Raghava took Bharata on his lap and flew to Bharata's hermitage with the army.

भरताश्रममासाद्यससैन्योराघवस्तदा ।।6.130.58।। अवतीर्यविमानाग्रादवतस्थेमहीतले ।

bharatāśramamāsādyasasainyorāghavastadā avatīryavimānāgrādavatasthemahītale |

Raghava alighted from the top of the Pushpaka on reaching the hermitage of Bharata and stood on ground.

अब्रवीत्तुतदारामस्तद्विमानमनुत्तमम् ।।6.130.59।। वहवैश्रवणंदेवमनुजानामिगम्यताम् ।

abravīttutadārāmastadvimānamanuttamam vahavaiśravaṇaṃdevamanujānāmigamyatām |

Then Rama told Pushpaka that he was permitted to go to God Vysravana.

ततोरामाभ्यनुज्ञातंतद्विमानमनुत्तमम् ।।6.130.60।। उत्तरांदिशमुद्दिश्यजगामधनदालयम् ।

tatorāmābhyanujñātaṃtadvimānamanuttamam uttarāṃdiśamuddiśyajagāmadhanadālayam |

That aerial car duly permitted by Rama rose up to go to Kubera and set out in the northern direction and flew.

विमानंपुष्पकंदिव्यंसम्गृहीतंतुरक्षसा ।।6.130.61।। अगमद्धनदंवेगाद्रामवाक्यप्रचोदितम् ।

vimānaṃpuṣpakaṃdivyaṃsamgṛhītaṃturakṣasā agamaddhanadaṃvegādrāmavākyapracoditam |

That wonderful Pushpaka received from Rakshasa impelled by Rama's order speedily went to Kubera.
