Ramayana 2.106.33
तथाहि रामो भरतेन ताम्यता प्रसाद्यमानश्शिरसा महीपतिः।नचैव चक्रे गमनाय सत्त्ववान्मतिं पितुस्तद्वचने प्रतिष्ठितः।।।।
tathā hi rāmo bharatena tāmyatā prasādyamānaś śirasā mahīpatiḥ | na caiva cakre gamanāya sattvavān matiṃ pituḥ tad-vacane pratiṣṭhitaḥ ||
Though Bharata—anguished and with bowed head—kept pleading, Rama, the virtuous lord of the earth, formed no resolve to return; he stood firmly established in his father’s word.
