They circled Chitrakúṭa's height,

And viewed his peaks on every side

With stains of thousand metals dyed.

Then Bharat saw, not far away,

Where Bharadvája's dwelling lay,

And when the chieftain bold and sage

Had reached that holy hermitage,

Down from the car he sprang to greet

The saint, and bowed before his feet.

High rapture filled the hermit's breast,
