महाकारुणिको ऽतप्यज् जटिलं स्थण्डिलेशयम् ॥ ३४ ॥
go-mutra-yavakam-eating barley boiled in the urine of a cow; srutva-hearing; bhrataram-His brother Bharata; valkala-ambaram-covered with the bark of trees; maha-karunikah-the supremely merciful Lord Ramacandra; atapyat-lamented very much; jatilam-wearing matted locks of hair; sthandile-sayam-lying down on a grass mattress, or kusasana.
Upon reaching Ayodhya, Lord Ramacandra heard that in His absence His brother Bharata was eating barley cooked in the urine of a cow, covering His body with the bark of trees, wearing matted locks of hair, and lying on a mattress of kusa. The most merciful Lord very much lamented this.
