Sage Bharadhwaja spoke passionately “Oh! Son, Rama was born as a son to King Dhasharatha for his righteousness and virtues, that supreme Bhramam is always contemplated by Lord Shiva and never get satisfied of it born on Earth as Rama. Oh! Bharatha, you have proved your sincere devotion and pure love at the lotus feet of Rama, like the autumn moon. Oh! Son, do not get disappointed and grieve over things that are not under your control, like the fear of poverty even after achieving treasures. Oh! Bharatha, I am an ascetic, living in the forest, I can’t lie to you, I have no interest in worldly matters, I have obtained the fruitfulness of my austerities, penances, and spiritual practices after witnessing Rama, Devi Sita and Lakshman. Your pure love and devotion at the lotus feet of Rama itself is a great fortune, and it would bring auspiciousness to Prayaga and all of us. Oh! Bharatha, you have conquered the world with your love and devotion at the lotus feet of Rama, it is praiseworthy.” Sage Bharadhwaja's eyes welled up in tears while concluding his speech, and those who were assembled rejoiced at heart, the deities showered flowers praising Bharatha who was overwhelmed with various emotions listening to the divine voice heard from the heaven and Prayaga.
