Read the passage from The Rámáyan of Válmiki.
Bharat is characterized as a(n)
king.
His brother, fell before his feet,
And cried, "Thy claim all men allow:
O come, our lord and king be thou."
ineffective
But Ráma nobly chose to be
envious
Observant of his sire's decree.
He placed his sandals in his hand
reluctant
A pledge that he would rule the land:
And bade his brother turn again.
spineless
Then Bharat, finding prayer was vain,
The sandals took and went away:
Nor in Ayodhyá would he stay.
But turned to Nandigráma, where
He ruled the realm with watchful care,
Still longing eagerly to learn
Tidings of Ráma's safe return.
