Shloka 2.90.10
भरद्वाजाश्रमगमनम् (Bharata at Bharadvāja’s Hermitage)
किमिहाऽगमने कार्यं तव राज्यं प्रशासतः।एतदाचक्ष्व मे सर्वं न हि मे शुद्ध्यते मनः।।2.90.10।।
kimihāgamane kāryaṃ tava rājyaṃ praśāsataḥ | etadācakṣva me sarvaṃ na hi me śuddhyate manaḥ ||
What purpose brings you here, when you ought to be ruling the kingdom? Tell me everything, for my mind finds no peace in this matter.
Why have you come here when you ought to be ruling the kingdom? Tell me everything about this. My mind is not clear in this matter.
Rama questions Bharata because Bharata is supposed to be in Ayodhya ruling the kingdom (Rajadharma), and his unexpected presence in the forest suggests a deviation from his kingly duties or a potential crisis.
It indicates Rama's apprehension and lack of clarity regarding Bharata's intentions or the situation in Ayodhya. It reflects his concern that something untoward may have happened or that Dharma is not being followed.
