भरतवाक्यं—रामस्य पुनरायोध्यागमननिषेधः
Bharata’s Plea and Rama’s Refusal to Return
अथैतत्पृष्ठतः कृत्वा वनमेव भवानितः।गमिष्यति गमिष्यामि भवता सार्धमप्यहम्।।।।
athaitat pṛṣṭhataḥ kṛtvā vanam eva bhavān itaḥ | gamiṣyati gamiṣyāmi bhavatā sārdham apy aham ||
ਪਰ ਜੇ ਤੁਸੀਂ ਇਹ ਬੇਨਤੀਆਂ ਪਿੱਛੇ ਛੱਡ ਕੇ ਇੱਥੋਂ ਜੰਗਲ ਵੱਲ ਚਲੇ ਜਾਓਗੇ, ਤਾਂ ਮੈਂ ਵੀ ਜਾਵਾਂਗਾ—ਤੁਹਾਡੇ ਨਾਲ ਹੀ।
If you turn your back on my solicitations and set out for the forest I shall also go along with you from here itself.
Dharma is portrayed as solidarity in righteousness: Bharata refuses comfort purchased at the cost of Rama’s suffering and aligns himself with Rama’s chosen path.
Bharata issues a final, dramatic commitment—if Rama will not return, Bharata will join him in exile.
Bharata’s unwavering loyalty and readiness for self-sacrifice.
