Summary of contents: Pleading the superiority of a teacher in comparison to one’s parents. Sage Vasishtha by virtue of his superiority and as a concession to Bharata, a dependant of Shri Rama. whose vow it has been to respect the feelings of his dependants, urges Shri Rama to grant the prayer of Bharata. Shri Rama, however, contends that one’s parents are more worthy of respect even than one’s teacher and is accordingly insistent on implementing the pledge already given by him to his father. Thus discomfited in argument, Bharata makes up his mind to undertake a fast unto death as a last resort to exert pressure on his brother. On Shri Rama’s dubbing such a step as repugnant to the code of conduct prescribed for a Kshatriya. Bharata requests his elder brother to allow him to remain in exile in the forest as the latter’s proxy. Sri Rama. however, rules out this proposition also as something preposterous, saying that one’s duty is entrusted to a proxy only on the former’s incapacity, which could not be predicated of him. and reaffirms his dicision to enter Ayodhya only after fulfilling the pledge given to his father
