@Arti,

Thanks for letting me know about Lakshman, as I did not know he had vowed to kill Bharata. It is still a bit shocking to me since Bharat was Lakshman's elder brother, but I guess no one was greater for him than Lord Ram, but one thing from the epic is that Lakshman became immediately appeased when Lord Ram calmed him down, but here in the episode he tells Rama that he doesn't care what he says. He won't forgive Bharata. Ram and Sita both tried to reason with Lakshmana, but Lakshmana walks away angrily, whereas in the epic he became appeased. Wouldn't that count as disobeying his brother's comnand? I did not like the attitude of Lakshman shown here. No matter his anger, Lord Ram always managed to calm Lakshman down.

As for Manthara, she would not be punished by Ram or his brothers for the same reason they would not punish Kaikeyi. In fact, Kaikeyi was the one who actually asked the boons. Manthara's only fault was that she instigated Kaikeyi, but in the eyes of law, the perpetrator's crimes are always worse than the crimes of those who instigated them. If Lord Ram was so merciful towards Kaikeyi and forgave her, why would he punish Manthara who was also a medium used by fate? Bharat, who is the epitome of Dharma, would not punish Manthara when he did not punish his mother. Manthara's crimes were less than Kaikeyi's crimes because Kaikeyi actually carried them out. Manthara only gave her the idea. SO I do not buy that Manthara was ever imprisoned or exiled from Ayodhya, for the same reason that Kaikeyi was never imprisoned or exiled. Tha Raghuvanshis were known for their justice and they would not punish one person while letting the other go innocent. That is not Dharma.

Meanwhile, frightened by that gigantic clamour, the leaders of elephants and other animal - troops, in rut, were tormented and fled in different directions from there Rama heard that sound generated from the army and also saw all those leaders of the animal-flock, running away from there.Seeing those animals running away and hearing that clamour, Rama spoke to Lakshmana (son of Sumitra) of burning courage as follows:"Alas! O, Lakshmana! Sumitra is blessed with a noble son in you. Here is heard a tumultuous sound as terrific as that of a roaring cloud. See what it is.""The lordly elephants in the forest, the buffaloes in the great woods and the wild beasts frightened by lions are suddenly running away in various directions."Lakshmana quickly ascended a Sala tree in flowering and looking towards all directions, saw towards eastern side.Looking in northern direction, Lakshmana saw a huge army, full of chariots, steeds and elephants accompanied by smart foot-soldiers.Lakshmana informed Rama about that army which was full of horses, elephants and chariots decorated with flags and spoke the following words also."O, honourable brother! Extinguish the fire. Let Seetha occupy a hiding place. Make your bow ready with a bow-string and arrows. Wear an armour."Rama the tiger among men replied to Lakshmana, saying: "O, Lakshmana! See, whose army do you think is this?Hearing Rama's words, Lakshmana was irritated like a fire and spoke the following words, as though he was wishing to scorch the army.Bharata, Kaikeyi's son, having obtained coronation and desirous of making the kingdom free of enemies, is coming here to kill both of us. It is clear."O, warrior! Let us take up our bows and ascend the mountain or let us stay here itself, fully prepared with our weapons in our hands.""O, Rama the warrior! By the reason of whom you were deprived of an eternal kingdom, such Bharata as a foe who is coming here, deserves to be slain by me."O, Rama! I see no sin in slaying Bharata. None is charged with unlawfulness, if one strikes down an aggressor.""Bharata is the assailant and his death is legitimate. He being dead, you will rule the entire earth.""Let Kaikeyi, who is craving for the kingdom see, with great sorrow, her son slain by me today in battle, as a tree is crushed down by an elephant "I shall kill Kaikeyi too along with her friend the hunch-back and other accomplices. Let the earth today be relieved of a great sinner." "Today, with my sharpened arrows, I shall slay the bodies of my foes and make this forest of Chitrakuta overflow with blood.

this is from valmiki ramayana...here also lakshmana wanted to kill his elder brother http://www.valmikiramayan.net/utf8/ayodhya/sarga96/ayodhya_96_frame.htm

Here is Manthara's role in the Ramayana as per Valmiki. Here Bharat never imprisoned her. Instead he stopped Shatrughan and protected Manthara, just like any other Raghuvanshi who were known for their justice.

Rebuked by Shatrughna

Manthara appears only once in the Ramayan after Rama's banishment. Having been rewarded by Kaikeyi with costly clothing and jewels, she is walking in the palace gardens when Bharata and his half-brother Shatrughna come upon her. Seeing her, Shatrughna flies into a violent rage over Rama's banishment, and assaults her murderously. Kaikeyi begs Bharata to save her, which he does, telling Shatrughna that it is a sin to kill a woman, and that Rama would be furious with them both if he does such a thing. He relents and the brothers leave, while Kaikeyi attempts to comfort Manthara.^[6]
