Bharata returns and he is told that his father is dead and that his older brother Rama has been exiled
He is really upset to learn about this news
His mother tries to comfort him by telling him that he is now going to be king
He says he doesn't want to be king but he wants Rama to be king and he sets off to find him and bring him home

Bharata finds Rama and he urges him to come back and take the raj
Rama believes it would be wrong to come back and do that because that wasn't Dasharatha's will
The brahmanic counselor to Dasharatha tries to persuade Rama saying that it doesn't matter anymore now that Dasharatha is dead but Rama stays firm in his belief

Rama still refuses to take the raj so Bharata goes back to conduct the affairs of the government but he doesn't go back to Ayodhya, he stays outside the city in Nandigram instead. He conducts the affairs but keeps the sandals Rama wore as representation that Bharata is only serving until Rama comes to take his place after the conclusion of the fourteen years.
