TRANSLATION
Upon reaching Ayodhya, Lord Ramacandra heard that in His ab-

sence His brother Bharata was eating barley cooked in the urine of
a cow, covering His body with the bark of trees, wearing matted
locks of hair, and lying on a mattress of kusa. The most merciful
Lord very much lamented this.
