मैथिल्यन्वेषणंचैवयथाचाधिगतात्वया ।लङ्घयित्वामहातोयमापगापतिमव्ययम् ।।।।
niśamya rāmāgamanaṃ nṛpātmajaḥ kapipravīrasya tad adbhutopamam |
praharṣito rāmadidṛkṣyā 'bhavat punaś ca harṣād idam abravīd vacaḥ ||
Hearing from the foremost of monkeys the wondrous news of Rāma’s return, the prince’s son (Bharata) was filled with joy, eager to behold Rāma again; and, exulting, he spoke these words.
"You may tell him of the search for Mythili by you, crossing the vast never decreasing stretch of water, leaping across and finding Sita."
Dharma is devotion to rightful order and kinship duty: Bharata’s joy reflects his unwavering commitment to Rāma’s legitimate return and the restoration of righteous kingship.
Hanumān reports Rāma’s imminent return; Bharata, overwhelmed with happiness, prepares to speak in response.
Bharata’s loyalty and purity of intention—his longing is not for power, but for reunion and the return of dharmic rule.
