The king's bards, panegyrists and minstrels having commenced eulogising Bharata in the customary way in the midst of festal music at sunrise the following morning, Bharata stops it, disclaiming sovereignty, and complains to Satrughna of the ill-turn done to the world by his own mother. In the meantime Sage Vasishta enters the royal court and sends messengers to Bharata urging him to be present in the court; and in response to his call Bharata, accompanied by Satrughna and others, enters the assembly.

While Bharata is contemplating to undertake a journey to meet Sri Rama, Satrughna blames Lakshmana for failing to restrain his father and forcibly prevent Sri Rama's exile. In the meantime Bharata catches sight of Manthara standing at the door decked with ornaments and points to her as the root of all mischief. Satrughna thereupon pounces upon the maidservant standing in the midst of her companions and, seizing her by her locks, drags her on the floor and reproaches Kaikeyi too. On the latter pleading for mercy on Manthara's behalf, Bharata intervenes and Satrughna lets her go.

Having performed with the help of Shatrughna all the obsequial rites relating to his deceased father on the twelfth day after his death, Bharata gifts to the Brahmanas abundant gold and jewels as a part of the obsequies. Overwhelmed with grief on reaching the funeral pyre in order to pick up the principal bones of the deceased on the thirteenth day, the prince drops to the ground. Rolling on the ground, Shatrughna for his part wails in profusion. Comforted by Vasishta and Sumantra, the two brothers urge the ministers to expedite the work of picking up the bones.

Swearing that what had already come to pass in the shape of exile of Sri Rama, Sita and Lakshmana and the resultant death of the King-Emperor was not to his liking, Bharata moves with Shatrughan to the apartments of his stepmother, Kausalya, who speaks unkindly to him taunting him with the remark that his mother, Kaikeyi, had rendered good offices to him by securing for him the kingdom of Kosala, sought after by him. Bharata, however, politely denies on a number of oaths all complicity in the machinations of his vile mother. Thereby coming to know of his heart, the guileless Kausalya places Bharata on her lap and weeps bitterly.
