English Meaning
And looking around, anon Bharata saw his superior Rāma seated in the cottage bearing a head of matted locks, clad in a black deer-skin, and having tattered cloth and bark for his garment. And he saw Råma seated like to a flame, with leonine shoulders, mighty arms, and eyes resembling lotuses, the righteous lord of this world bounded by the seas, saw the mightyarmed on like to the eternal Brahma, seated on a skin-seat on the ground along with Sītā and Lakş mana.
