Shloka 6.124.4

पुष्पकविमान-प्रस्थानम् (The Pushpaka Vimāna Offered and the Return Prepared)

एवमुक्तस्तुकाकुत्स्थ: प्रत्युवाचविभीषणम् ।हरीन्सुग्रीवमुख्यांस्त्वंस्नानेनोपनिमन्त्रय ।।।।

sa tu tāmyaty atidharmātmā mama hetoḥ sukhocitaḥ |

sukumāro mahābāho kumāraḥ satyasaṃśrayaḥ ||6.124.5||

“For my sake he languishes—Bharata—exceedingly righteous in dharma, accustomed to comfort yet delicate; that young prince, mighty-armed, who has taken refuge in truth.”

When Vibheeshana had spoken like that, Kakuthsa Rama replied 'you and monkeys headed by Sugriva bathe and come.'

R
Rāma
B
Bharata

Satya and dharma as lived discipline: Bharata bears hardship for the sake of righteous duty and fidelity to Rāma’s rightful claim.

Rāma reflects on Bharata’s suffering during his exile, explaining why he does not wish to indulge in ceremonial comforts without Bharata present.

Bharata’s truthfulness and self-sacrifice—he endures distress while remaining steadfast to dharma and to Rāma.
