Tulsi gathers the approaching meeting into a cosmic churning. Love is the nectar sought, and separation becomes the great Mandara mountain turning within the depths.
Bharata himself is the profound ocean. Every mile of absence has moved through him as force, grief, discipline, and devotion, preparing the hidden nectar to rise.
From this churning Raghubir, ocean of compassion, appears for the welfare of gods and saints. The Lord is not manufactured by longing, yet longing makes manifestation visible. Separation does not have the final word. Under love's labor, it becomes the mountain by which the compassionate presence emerges from the depths.
Bharata's depth and the mountain of separation churn together until the ocean of compassion rises visibly as Ram.

पेम अमिअ मंदरु बिरहु भरतु पयोधि गँभीर। मथि प्रगटेउ सुर साधु हित कृपासिंधु रघुबीर।।238।।
Love is the amrit, separation is the Mandara mountain, and Bharat is the deep ocean. By the churning of these, Raghubir, that ocean of compassion, has appeared for the blessing of gods and saints.
