That doesn't sound so outlandish - if Rama can revive Ahalya, why can't Sita revive Rama?

Point taken. Good explanation. I didn't think of this before.

Bharat had his own kingdom here? Which was it - Gandhara, Kekaya or some other? And how was that, if he was yuvraj? Or if he did have his own kingdom, then who was the Yuvraj of Ayodhya? Lakshman?

I am not sure. I haven't read it all in detail.

Okay, I agree that this is unreal!

Thanks for whatever you did post - this part looks okay to me.

I haven't read Kamban. Some time, I hope to read Krittivas, if I can get a hold of it.

Your guess is as good as mine, but it would boil down to the question of whether Sita wanted Rama more than she didn't want to be queen of Ayodhya. I tend to think that if the prajas, for whatever reason, had raised no more questions (say they believed the sung version of Valmiki from her kids, or say the Bhavabhuti version is right and they saw her relieve Rama) and Rama had invited her back, she'd have accepted it, as it would have given her back her Rama. I don't believe she liked leaving for Rasootal, but her choices were pretty much forced on her.

Rama wasn't the king of all Aryavarta - just Ayodhya. He was recognized as an 'overlord' emperor by all other rulers i.e. other Kings based their foreign relations on his policies: they allied with him, and avoided his enemies. This doesn't mean that their internal goings-on were his headache. In other words, if people in, say, Mithila, wanted him to step down, he'd not have been under any such compulsion. He was only bound by what the people of Kosala/Ayodhya wanted.

Emperors like Rama, Jarasandha, Yudhisthir - this was the extent of their power. It didn't make them responsible for the internal affairs of their allies.

P.S. My comparison was - Sita wanting to be with her family vs NOT wanting to become the queen of Ayodhya again.
