Sage Vasishta urges Bharata to accept the kingdom bequeathed to him by his father and elder brother. Bharata, however, scornfully declines the offer and takes a solemn pledge to depart for the forest and try his level best to bring his elder brother back to Ayodhya. At his instance Sumantra gets a chariot ready to take him to the forest and brings the chariot to his presence.
