O’erwhelmed with rapture Bharat heard
The tale that all his being stirred,
And, heralding the glad event,
This order to Śatrughna sent:
“Let every shrine with flowers be gay
Let incense burn and music play.
In plain words: Bharat, Rama's brother who had ruled while Rama was away, is overjoyed to hear that Rama is coming home. He tells his brother Shatrughna to decorate every temple with flowers, burn incense, and play music.
