In plain words
“My son, God is not one who feels hurt. Even so, from our own level we must take care never in any way to cause God even the least unrest,” he said. “We gain no peace at all from these arguments. The truth does not come out. Offer everything to God alone, who knows all. Take His command upon your head. Do not try to hurt Rāma's mind with this brotherly feeling, this anguish and this unrest,” he said. “If today you hurt Him without knowing it, you will have to suffer a thousand times as much without knowing it,” he said. In the same way, people today do many evil deeds laughing and laughing. But they have to go through the fruit of it weeping and weeping. Sin done laughing and laughing has to be suffered weeping and weeping. “So do not fall into sin in any way,” he said. Śrī Rāma's heart is tender. He is truly devoted to Dharma. He is the embodiment of Satya. He is a great renouncer. There is nothing in the world He needs for Himself. But to protect the world, to protect Dharma and to uphold Satya, He took this form. “So take His command upon your head. Give up these words,” he said. “He has no desire for power. No selfishness at all. He is one who goes beyond the bounds of the individual. To argue like this before such a Rāma is useless,” he said. Right then Bharata asked Rāma to grant him, in His place, at least His sandals. Lakṣmaṇa, who stood right beside, had a very subtle mind. While this Bharata was asking for Rāma's feet, that is, His sandals, Lakṣmaṇa was pained: “Are you leaving Rāma, who walks this forest, without even sandals?” Such gentleness, such closeness, such forbearance as among these brothers is found nowhere in today's world.
While they were carrying on this search for Sītā, at one place Kabandha came upon them. Kabandha had huge arms. He had no head. He had only a belly. The eyes were on that belly itself. He caught both Rāma and Lakṣmaṇa, though they were far off, and clamped them under his arms. Then Lakṣmaṇa was very distressed. “Brother! Even if I go, it does not matter. You escape. I will be food for this Kabandha and give up my body. Get a little way off,” he said. Rāma said, “Lakṣmaṇa, you escape. I will be food for this Kabandha.” In this way each strove in many ways to save the other. With such Prema did Rāma and Lakṣmaṇa live.
When Lakṣmaṇa fell unconscious, Rāma came to Lakṣmaṇa: “A wife like Sītā one could find by the thousand in the world. One could find a Kausalyā like one's own mother. But a brother like Lakṣmaṇa I will not find in this world,” He grieved. Such was the affection between these brothers.
