Thank you - I'm glad it pleases everyone.No, I'm not translating it all myself. Unfortunately, I do not know Hindi or Sanskrit.I'm actually learning Hindi from this new Ramayan - never before have I ever watched a Hindi TV serial - never. I don't know whether it was the link between the Indian Languages or the magic of the Ramayan, I was able to understand the first Hindi episode I saw and from that time I have been trying to learn Hindi. Some of my friends helped a lot - I used to ask them doubts and meaning of the words and they, ever so patiently, would explain.Hence, I feel extrememly satisfied that I'm able to do a good job. I was concentrating on bringing out the original essence of the language in which the epic was written, our heritage and culture, and the beauty of the epic. But I think I did not make any mistake in the texts so far. If so, please point it out to me.

Bharat returned with joy to Ayodhya and conveyed the news to his preceptor (Maharishi Vasishta). He then proclaimed inside the palace that the Lord of the Raghus was approaching Ayodhya safe and sound. On hearing the news all the mothers were about to run out to meet Lord Ram ; but Bharat calmed their mind by telling them himself of the Lord's welfare. When the information reached the citizens, men and women all ran out in their joy (to meet their lord). With gold plates containing curds, Durva grass, the sacred yellow paste known by the name of Gorocana, fruits and flowers and young leaves of the sacred Tulsi (basil) plant, the root of all blessings, ladies sallied forth with the stately walk of an elephant, singing as they went. All ran out just as they happened to be and
did not take children or old folk with them. People asked one another, "Brother, did you see the gracious Lord of the Raghus? Having come to know of the Lord's advent, the city of Ayodhya became a mine of all beauty. A delightful breeze breathed soft, cool and fragrant. The Sarayu rolled down with crystal clear water.
Accompanied by his preceptor, Maharishi Vasishta, his kinsmen, his younger brother Shathrugan and a host of Brahmans, with his heart overflowing with affection, Bharat joyfully set forth to receive the All-merciful. Many women, who had climbed up their attics, looked above for the aerial car in the sky. And the moment they spotted it they began to let out their joy by sing festive songs in melodious tones. Just as the sight of the full moon brings joy to the ocean and swells it, the city of Ayodhya too joyfully rushed with a tumultuous noise to meet the Lord of the Raghus, the women of the city moving to and fro like so many waves.
Meanwhile on the other side, Lord Ram, who brought delight to the solar race as the sun brings delight to the lotus, was showing the charming city (of Ayodhya) to the monkeys. "Listen, Lord of the monkeys, Angad and Lord of Lanka, this city and this beautiful lands are holy. Although all have praised Vaikundha , which is known in the
Vedas and the Puranas and known throughout the world, it is not so dear to Me as the city of Ayodhya. Very few rare souls know this secret. This beautiful city is My birthplace; to its North flows the holy Sarayu, by bathing in it men secure a dwelling place near Me without any difficulty. The people who live here are very dear to Me. The city is not only full of bliss by itself but also bestows (a person who lives here or bathes in the Sarayu) a residence in My divine Abode.. The monkeys were all delighted to hear these words of the Lord and said, "Blessed indeed is Ayodhya that has evoked praise from Lord Ram Himself !"
When the All-merciful Lord saw all the people coming out to meet Him, He urged the aerial car to a halt near the city. It landed on the ground. On alighting from the car, the Lord said to the Pushpaka Vimana, "You now return to Kubera" Thus ordered by Sri Ram, the aerial car, departed, full of joy and deep agony at parting.
Along with Bharat came all the other people, emaciated in body because of their separation from the Hero of Raghu's race. When the Lord saw the great sages Vamadeva, Vasishta and the others, He dropped His bow and arrows on the ground and ran with His brother to clasp His preceptor's lotus-feet with every hair on their body erect. Vasishta (the chief of the sages) embraced them (in return) and enquired after their welfare. Sri Ram replied, "It is in your grace alone that our welfare lies." The Lord of Raghu's race, the champion of righteousness, now met all the other Brahmans and bowed His head to them. Then Bharat clasped the Lord's lotus-feet, which are adored by gods and sages, including Sankara and Brahma. He lay prostrate on the ground and would not rise even though being lifted up, till at last the Lord forcibly raised him and pressed him to His bosom. Every hair on His dark form stood erect and His lotus eyes were flooded with tears.
His lotus eyes streamed with tears, while bristling hair served to adorn His comely person as Lord Ram, the sovereign of the three spheres, clasped Bharat to His bosom with utmost affection. I find no parallel by which I may illustrate the beauty of the Lord's meeting with his younger brother. It seemed as though the sentiment and affection had met together in exquisite bodily form. The All-merciful enquired after Bharat's welfare, but words did not readily come to his help. The bliss (which Bharata enjoyed at the moment) was beyond one's speech and mind. It is known only to those who feel it. Bharat said, "All is now well with me, since the All-merciful Lord of Kosala has blessed me with His sight, realizing the distress of His servant, and taken me by the hand just when I was sinking in the ocean of desolation." The Lord then gladly met and embraced Shathrugan. Lakshman and Bharat, the two brothers embraced each other with utmost affection.
Then Lakshman embraced Bharat's younger brother (Shathrugan) and thus relieved each other of the terrible agony of separation. Bharat and Shathrugan their head at Sita's feet and felt supreme delight. The citizens were transported with joy at the sight of the Lord. All the woes got of their separation from the Lord had now ended. Seeing all the people impatient in their love to meet the Lord, the All-merciful Slayer of Khara wrought a miracle. He forthwith appeared in countless forms and in this way the gracious Lord met everybody in an appropriate manner. The Hero of Raghu's race rid all men and women of their sorrow by casting His benign look on them. In a moment the Lord greeted them all. This was a mystery which none could comprehend. Having thus gratified all, Sri Ram, who was a repository of amiability and goodness, proceeded further.
