One point adiyEn forgot to mention. When Bharata
accepted Rama's order that he rule Ayodhya, he
must have known what that represents - that is,
he is the king and Rama becomes his subject. This
is borne by the fact that many a times, Rama does
mention that Bharata is the king and he is a
representative of Bharata (for eg, see Rama's
explanation to Vali why he chose to kill him).
To me, this seems to be an example of "sEshathvaththai
azhikkum pOdhu" - and being a true paratantra, Bharata
accepted the reversal of roles between sesha and
seshi.
