Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta Part 2 Chapter 4 Text 254


sugrīvāṅgada-jāmbavat-prabhṛtibhis tatropaviṣṭaṁ sukhaṁ
śrīmantaṁ madhurair naraiś ca bharataṁ
śatrughna-yuktaṁ puraḥ
dṛṣṭvāhaṁ raghunātham eva nitarāṁ
matvā stuvaṁs tat-stavaiḥ
karṇau tena pidhāya dāsya-parayā vācā niṣiddho muhuḥ

TRANSLATION
There before me I saw Bharata — with Śatrughna — seated comfortably with monkeys like Sugrīva, Aṅgada, and Jāmbavān and surrounded by many handsome men. Thinking Bharata to be Rāmacandra, Lord of the Raghus, I recited prayers addressed to that Lord. But Bharata covered His ears and repeatedly forbade me to continue, saying “I am only a servant.”
