Read the passage from The Rámáyan of Válmíki.

His brother, fell before his feet,
And cried, "Thy claim all men allow:
O come, our lord and king be thou."
But Ráma nobly chose to be
Observant of his sire’s decree.
He placed his sandals in his hand
A pledge that he would rule the land:
And bade his brother turn again.
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.

Bharat is characterized as a(n) king.

Answer :

Bharat is characterized as a substitute king, the passage communicate that Bharat request to his brother Ráma to assume the reign of Ayodhyá, but he refuses to do so, this is explained in the following phrase: "But Rama nobly chose to be observant of his sire's decree". According to this sentence, apparently Rama decided to respect his father desire of not being the king.

Bharat realized that his demands to his brother wasn't enough for him to be the king, so he left to Nandigráma where he could meditate and wait for his brother to return while he reigned Ayodhyá on his brother's name.
