Bharatha rejoiced at heart listening to the divine voice, soon the deities showered flowers exclaiming “Hail Bharatha! Bharatha is fortunate!”, all the living and non-living things immersed in a state of bliss. The Rishis, Sages, noble souls cheered “Bharatha’s virtues and amiability is praiseworthy, he is innocent and truthful.” Further, Bharatha arrived to meet Sage Bharadhwaja, he prostrated before the sage who felt Bharatha is fortune personified.  Sage raised Bharatha from the ground and embraced him tightly and showered an abundance of blessings. Sage Bharadhwaja took Bharatha to his hermitage and offered a seat, Bharatha sat down fixing his gaze on the ground in utter shyness, and anxiously waited to listen from the Sage. The compassionate Sage Bharadhawaja looked at Bharatha who was already in distress, and began to speak “Oh! Dear son, I have already heard about the things that happened in the Raghu’s clan, one thing you must understand that Jeeva has no control over fate.”
