Then Bharat called the Vánar chief And questioned thus in doubt and grief: “Hast thou uncertain, like thy kind, A sweet delusive guile designed? Where, where is royal Ráma? show The hero, victor of the foe. I gaze, but see no Vánars still Who wear each varied shape at will.”

In plain words: Worried and sad, Bharat asks Hanuman, the monkey chief, whether he has played a trick on him, as monkeys are said to do. He asks where Rama is, because he cannot see the shape-shifting monkey army anywhere.
