Ramayana-105 (Bharata becomes Ramas deputy): Rama asked Bharata: Bharata,....Why have you left your Kingly duties and come here in deer skin and with matted locks? Bharata attempted to speak several times ,but could not get beyond the wordBrother .Then he pulled himself together with a great effort and said: Sending you to forest,but unable to bear the pain,our father s soul fled to heaven.All the good my mother has got from her evil plan has been that she has become a sinner and a widow and is in deep sorrow. Despised by the world,she experiences hel on earth.Only you one can save us. Undo all the evil that has been done and wipe off our tears by agreeing to be crowned.It is to implore you for this that we and the citizen and the army and the widowed queens have come and are all here waiting on your word. Grant us our prayer.This aloe will put an end to our sorrow and re-establish the dharma of our race.Without a rightful king ,the land is like a widow,desolate and helpless.You must come back and make it happy and secure The ministers here and I fall at your feet and beg of you.Do not refuse ..O, brother!.. Saying this the great Bharata ,with tear filled eyes ,clung to the feet of Ramachandra..Rama raised him from the groud and said: Child we were born in a noble family and brought up in good ways.Neither you nor i can do anything wrong.I see no fault in you,my blameless broher.!. Do not feel sad and do not speak unkind words about your mother.It is not proper that we should blame her.Surely our father had the right to tell us what to do.,even to decree banishment,just as he had the right to order a coronation .our duty is to honour our father and our mother .How could I did obey or question their command?.Was it for me to refuse my father s command that I should go to the forest?
