Ramayana: The Legend of Prince Rama1992

[Bharata meets Rama in the forest and relays the sad news of their father's demise]

Rama:
[in shock] What? What are you saying, Bharata? Our father is dead?!

Bharata:
[sadly] Brother, I share your grief.

Rama:
[walks towards a tree, then kneels down in sorrow] Oh father, father! Forgive this poor Rama! Forgive your son!

Bharata:
Rama, I appeal to you, absolve me of my mother's sin! Come back to Ayodhya, and accept the Kingdom which is yours by right!

Rama:
[solemnly] Bharata, what your mother has done is not in question here. Remember, the great Emperor Dasharatha has commanded us: you to rule the Kingdom, and I to live in these forests for 14 years. It is our duty to abide by our father's wishes whether we like it or not.

Bharata:
You have commanded me, it is enough. But one thing's certain-I will not accept the kingdom for myself, but for you. [kneels, accepts Rama's sandals and raises them in his hands] Please bless this brother of yours to rule the Kingdom with strength and courage.

[Rama agrees and recites a mantra, and the slippers glow with a light]

Bharata:
I will rule for the next 14 years, but till you return.
