Ayodhya Kand Verse 203
कियउ निषादनाथु अगुआईं। मातु पालकीं सकल चलाईं ॥
साथ बोलाइ भाइ लघु दीन्हा। बिप्रन्ह सहित गवनु गुर कीन्हा ॥
आपु सुरसरिहि कीन्ह प्रनामू। सुमिरे लखन सहित सिय रामू ॥
गवने भरत पयोदेहिं पाए। कोतल संग जाहिं डोरिआए ॥
कहहिं सुसेवक बारहिं बारा। होइअ नाथ अस्व असवारा ॥
रामु पयोदेहि पायँ सिधाए। हम कहँ रथ गज बाजि बनाए ॥
सिर भर जाउँ उचित अस मोरा। सब तें सेवक धरमु कठोरा ॥
देखि भरत गति सुनि मृदु बानी। सब सेवक गन गरहिं गलानी ॥
दो. भरत तीसरे पहर कहँ कीन्ह प्रबेसु प्रयाग।
कहत राम सिय राम सिय उमगि उमगि अनुराग ॥ २०३ ॥kiyau niṣādanāthu aguāīṃ| mātu pālakīṃ sakala calāīṃ ||

kahata rama siya rama siya umagi umagi anuraga 203 Nishad led the way, the mothers' palanquins were set in motion, and Shatrughna was sent ahead with the Brahmins and Guru Vasishtha. Bharat himself bowed to the Ganga, remembered Ram with Sita and Lakshman, and began walking on foot; servants repeatedly urged him to mount a horse, but Bharat said — Ram went on foot, so a chariot, elephant or horse would not befit us. Chanting 'Ram-Siya, Ram-Siya' with surging devotion, Bharat reached Prayag by the third quarter of the day.
निषादराज को आगे करके सब माताओं की पालकियाँ चलाई गईं और शत्रुघ्न को ब्राह्मणों सहित गुरु के साथ भेजा गया। स्वयं भरत ने गंगाजी को प्रणाम कर, सीता-लक्ष्मण सहित राम का स्मरण करके पैदल चलना शुरू किया; सेवकों ने बार-बार अनुरोध किया कि घोड़े पर चढ़ें, पर भरत ने कहा — राम पैदल गए, हमें रथ-हाथी-घोड़े शोभा नहीं देते। तीसरे पहर भरत 'राम-सिय, राम-सिय' कहते हुए प्रयाग पहुँचे।
