punar evābravīd vākyaṁ bharataṁ prati harṣitaḥ ||2.85.11||
Hearing Bharata’s words, Guha—his face bright with joy—delightedly spoke again, addressing Bharata.
Blessed indeed you are as you desire to renounce the kingdom that has come to you effortlessly. I see none equal to you on this earth.
Dharma is reflected in mutual respect and truthful appreciation; Guha responds with sincere joy to Bharata’s righteous intent.
After Bharata speaks to Guha, Guha becomes pleased and continues the conversation, preparing to praise Bharata’s conduct.
Guha’s goodwill and emotional openness—his joy arises from recognizing virtue in Bharata.
