Vashishtha: Mahaaraaj Janak. Jaisa aapko vidit ho chuka hai. Ayodhya ka raaj parivaar, is samay, ek dharm sankat me phans gaya hai. Aise samay me aapka aagaman sarvatah mangal soochak hai. Isse ham sabko dhairya ban gaya hai, ki aap, apne gyan aur vivek se hamara maargdarshan karenge. Ek ore Ram ki maryada hai, aur doosri ore, Bharat ka prem. In dono me jeet kiski ho? Aap is samay dono parivaaron me sabse shresth hain. Isliye ham sabne, ekmat ho kar nishchay kar liya hai, ki aap jaisa nirnay karenge, sabhi log uska paalan karenge.
(Janak raja looks at Ram)
Ram (Joining hands): Nath! Hamare liye pitaashree ke sthaan par, aap hi hain. Aap dharm ke poorn gyaataa hain. Isiliye mujhe vishwaas hai, ki aap mere dharm ki raksha karenge. Mujhe apna sevak samajh kar, aap jo aagyaa denge, mai use poori karunga.
(Janak raja looks at Bharat)
Bharat (Stands up and joins hands): He dharmpita. Ab mai aapke bharose par hun. Aap ek pita ki bhaanti mujhe adharm se bachaayenge. Aap ek raajaa bhi hain aur ek rishi bhi. Isiliye, nishpaksh bhaav se, aap mere hriday ke bhaav ko jaan kar, mera nyaay karenge. Maine Shree Ram bhaiya ke raajyaabhishek ki poori saamagree aapke saamne rakh di hai. Yadi nyay mere paksh me hai, to isi samay, sabke saamne, Shree Ram bhaiya ka raajyaabhishek kiya jaay. Yahi apeksha le kar, mai apne aap ko aapki aagyaa ke aadhin karta hun.
(Janak had been listening to everyone with proud feeling all the while)
Janak (Very down to earth in his entire speech): Shree Ram. Shree Bharat. Tum dono me mahaan kaun hai, iska nirnay to swayam Brahmaa bhi nahi kar sakte. Phir mai to ek tuchchh praani hun. Ek ore, dharm aur maryaadaa ki seema hai; to doosri ore, pyaar aur mamtaa ki pariseema. Aisi dono mahaan vibhootion ke beech, nirnay dene ka saahas, atyant dushkar kaarya hai. Parantu is paristhiti me, apna kartavya samajh kar, mai Bhagvan Shankar ke charno me pranaam karta hun. Wo jaisa uchit samjhe, waisi mujhe prerana den.
He Ram! Apne dharm par tumhari dradhta dekh kar, is samay devtaa bhi tumhari vandana kar rahe hain. Dharm hi sabse badi shakti hai, jiske sahaare yeh dharti sthir hai. Shaastron ke anusaar, teeno lok me dharm se bada kuchh bhi nahi, jisse ham sab BANDHE hue hain. Parantu prem hi ek aisi divya neeti hai, jis par kisi dharm ka BANDHAN NAHI. Prem; Nishchal niswaarth prem, sab dharmo ke upar hai. Wahi prem, apni paraakaashthaa me, jab ananya bhakti ka roop dhaaran kar leta hai; to swayam bhagvan bhi, vidhaataa ke banaaye hue karm ke saare vidhaan, srishti ke saare niyam tod kar, bhakt ke aage haath baandh kar khade reh jaate hain, aur wo apne bhakt ki aan rakhne par, vivash ho jaate hain. Isliye, is samay Bharat ka paldaa bhaari hai.
(Manmanaa bhav madbhaktah, madhyaaji maam namaskuru; maamevaishyasi satyam te, pratijaane priyosi me;
Sarvdharmaan parityajya maamekam sharanam vraj; aham tva sarva paapebhyo mokshayishaami ma shuch.)
(Bharat and everyone present there become joyful for a few seconds and Ram is waiting calmly for further explanation of Janak)
Ram. Bharat ka prem nishchal, niswaarth hai. Aur wo tumhara ananya bhakt hai. (Ram looks at Bharat with love and Janak continues his speech)
Tumhare prem ki jeet hui Bharat.
(All Joyful again but Janak continuing his statement doesn't let them be happy for long to build up the false hope too much)
Parantu yaad rakhna. Prem ka bhi ek vidhaan hai. Uske bhi kuchh niyam hain.
(Bharat becoming anxious for knowing these conditions)
Prem ki asali shakti, uske niswaarth hone me hai. Aur jab prem niswaarth hota hai, tab woh kuchh nahi maangtaa. (Smile on Ram's face) Apne premi ko kuchh dena chaahtaa hai. Uska sukh, uski prasannataa ke liye, woh sab kuchh luta dena chaahtaa hai. Isliye, is samay tum yahi nirnay karo, ki tum apne Ram ke liye kya de sakte ho?
Bharat: Praano se badi koi vastu nahi hoti mahaaraaj. Mai Shree Ram ke liye apne praan de saktaa hun. (Little smile on Janak's face as if smiling over an ignorant belief of a child)
Janak: Praan dena saral kaam hai. Kintu, apne premi ke liye kabhi kabhi, jeena kathin hota hai.
(Bharat getting more & more clear clue about ultimate outcome of the meeting and Ram's smile widening)
Yadi tum sachche bhakt ho, to Shree Ram ke charno me baith kar, unhi se puchho ki unki prasanntaa kisme hai. Aur wo jo kahen, wahi kaarya prem ki pooja samajh kar karo.
(Few faces turning completely sorrowful and few faces feeling proud of Janak's decision and his way of giving the decision)
Bharat: Mahaaraaj! Aapne meri aankhon se swaarth ke sab parde hataa diye. Ab tak mai keval apne kartavya, apni keerti ki baat sochta tha. Aur use prem samajhta tha. Phir bhi aapne mujhe jeeta kar, mujhe bhakti ka daan diya hai. Mai janm janmaantar tak aapke is upkaar ka rini rahunga.
Bhaiya! (Moving towards Ram and then sitting down) Bhaiya, aagyaa do. Mujhe kya karna hai?
Ram (Still for a while then getting up and making Bharat stand up): Jeetnewale neeche nahi baithte Bharat. Mere Bhai. Aaj Ram tumhare prem ke saamne haar gaya. (Giving full honour to Bharat's love) Jo raajya tum mujhe dene aaye ho, mai use swikaar karta hun. (Faces happy for a few seconds waiting and director creating dramatic suspense in the story known to everyone) Parantu pitaashree ka vachan bhi jhootha na ho, isliye meri tumse ek praarthna hai. (Telling as if asking some favour) Chaudah varsh tak, mere sthaan par tum us raajyabhaar ko sambhaalo. (Faces shocked and sad again)
Bharat: Parantu bhaiya mai to abodh baalak hun. Mujhse raaj ka shaasan nahi kiya jaayega.
Ram: Gurudev, aarya Sumant, aur anya mantrigan isme tumhari sahaayataa karenge. Gurudev ki aagyaa se saare kaarya karoge, to kathinaai nahi hogi. Saare kaarya sugamataa se hote rahenge. Aur chaudah varsh baad aa kar, mai apna raajya tumse le lunga.
Bharat (Observing the greatness of Ram): Bade nirmohi ho bhaiya. Prem ka koi mol nahi aankaa.
Ram: Prem kiya hai to binmol bik jaao.
Bharat: Achchha. To bik jaataa hun. Shaayad (This Urdu word is used at many places inadvertently by RSji in both Ramayan & Shri Krishna) chaudah varsh ka bichhoh hi mere paapon ka praayashchitt kar de. Parantu ek baat yaad rakhna bhaiya. Chaudah varsh ke baad yadi aapne aane me ek din ki bhi deri ki, to in charno ki saugandh kha kar kehta hun. Aap meri chita jalti dekhenge.
(Still childlike innocence of deep lover present โ devotee creating problem for the master in future by showing the intensity of love, tolerance & sacrifice; but the job done โ present solution obtained)
Ram: Nahi Bharat nahi. (People worried) Bhaiya. Mai vachan deta hun. Mere aane me ek din ki bhi deri nahi hogi.
Bharat: Bhaiya. Kuchh maangu to doge?
Ram: Pagle. Tu mere praan maang le; to isi kshan de dunga. Bol kya chaahiye tujhe?
Bharat: Mujhe apni charan paadukaa de do.
Ram (Puzzled slightly): Charan paadukaa?
Bharat: Haan. Bhaiya. Aapkaa raajya to aapke is sevak ke paas aapki dharohar ke roop me hoga. Jab aap nahi honge, to sinhaasan par kaun baithega? Mai aapki paadukaaon ko aapkaa raajchinha bana kar sinhaasan par rakh dunga. Aur nitya prati uska aashirvaad le kar hi aapkaa raajkaarya karunga.
(Taking the kingdom as representative completely in all true senses and not as temporary king)
(Ram becoming emotional and directing Lakshman to bring the footware)
Vashishtha (Very emotional): Mahaatmaa Bharat. Tum dhanya dhanya ho. Tumhari sada jay ho.
"Raajyon ki seema ke liye to yuddh hote hain aur hote rahenge, kintu tyaag ka yeh anokha yuddh na kabhi hua hai aur na kabhi hoga".
A landmark scene of the serial. It gives the true definition of love in a simple and highly effective manner.
Love is declared to be the greatest entity in the world if it is pure and true and not demanding and expecting and jealous. Love is beyond all duties.
Sarvadharmaan parityajya, maamekam sharanam vraj
In the end of the scene, it is also proved that if you love and surrender to the most knowledgeable soul, there is no conflict of your duty with your devotion. Karmyog and Bhaktiyog both lead to same action as they did in case of Bharat in the end after the insight and enlightenment given by Janak.
The decision given not only saved the life of Bharat and removed his ignorance but also served the cause of all deities by letting the plan of the destiny work for killing of Ravan. The decision and the way it was given by RAJARSHI Janak is almost the evidence that it was actually inspired by Lord Shiv only.
Bharat was gifted the knowledge of TRUE (Undemanding) love by Janak. Janak raja made Bharat win first by declaring him to be the TRUE lover/devotee (Which he actually was but for the misconception about love he was having). Bharat realized the definition correctly and immediately due to the cumulative effect of what Kaushalya had told him earlier and made him perhaps mentally ready to grasp this judgment. Janak declared him to be true lover which his conscience and behaviour were impliedly claiming and then guided him the right way to demonstrate the same in practice. Wonderful wonderful solution of an emotionally and morally tangled problem.
