महात्मा the magnanimous one, सः that Bharata, चित्रकूटे गिरौ on Chitrakuta mountain, पुण्यजनोपपन्नम् inhabited by pious men, रामाश्रमम् Rama's hermitage, निशम्य having heard about, चमूम् the army, निवेश्यैव having camped at a distance, पुनः again, गुहेन सार्धम् with Guha, त्वरितः quickly, जगाम went.
English Commentary
Having heard of Rama's hermitage on the Chitrakuta mountain inhabited by pious men, magnanimous Bharata, commanded his army to stay at a distance, and quickly proceeded with Guha. इत्यार्षे श्रीमद्रामायणे वाल्मीकीय आदिकाव्ये अयोध्याकाण्डे अष्टनवतितमस्सर्गः।। Thus ends the ninetyeighth sarga in Ayodhyakanda of the holy Ramayana, the first epic composed by sage Valmiki.
