Mahārāja Bharata continued to speak like a madman. Seeing above his head the dark marks on the rising moon, which resembled a deer, he said: Can it be that the moon, who is so kind to an unhappy man, might also be kind upon my deer, knowing that it has strayed from home and has become motherless? This moon has given the deer shelter near itself just to protect it from the fearful attacks of a lion.

Translation
The Lord in the form of the moon, affectionate to helpless persons out of mercy, is protecting this young deer, whose mother died out of fear of a lion and who has now left my hermitage.
Looking in the sky, and seeing the moon, he thinks that he sees his small deer on the moon. The deer has left my hermitage since I, a most sinful person, have been inattentive. O moon! You are the Lord (bhagavān). Otherwise, who could you have the fortune to have the mark of the deer on your surface?
