English Meaning
I think Bharata attached to his brothers had come to Ayodhyā; and then, following the morality regulating the race, that one dearer to me than life, hearing of me banished, bearing matted locks and bark, together with Jānakī, O hero, and yourself, you foremost of men, has, with his heart surcharged with affection, and his senses overwhelmed by grief, come hither for seeing us. He cannot have come on any other account.
— M.N. Dutt (1891–94, public domain)
