Valmiki Ramayana 1.1.29 meaning
mrite tu tasmin bharato vasishthapramukhair dvijaih
niyujyamano rajyaya n-aichchad rajyam mahabalah
sa jagama vanam veero ramapadaprasadakah
मृते तु तस्मिन्भरतो वसिष्ठप्रमुखैर्द्विजैः।
नियुज्यमानो राज्याय नैच्छद्राज्यं महाबलः।
स जगाम वनं वीरो रामपादप्रसादकः॥
After the king died, Bharata was urged by Vasishtha and other sages to become king, but he refused the throne. Instead the brave prince went to the forest to beg Rama's forgiveness.
What it means
Bharata was handed a kingdom and walked away from it because it was not rightfully his. Refusing what you could easily take, simply because it is wrong, is a rare and powerful kind of strength.हिंदी में अर्थ
राजा की मृत्यु के बाद वसिष्ठ आदि ऋषियों ने भरत को राजा बनने को कहा, पर महाबली भरत ने राज्य नहीं चाहा। वे राम को मनाने के लिए वन चले गए।
भरत को राज्य मिल रहा था, पर उन्होंने उसे ठुकरा दिया क्योंकि वह उनका हक नहीं था। जो आसानी से मिल सकता है उसे गलत जानकर छोड़ना बड़ी ताकत है।
