Mathru Devo Bhava....the well known saying but always wondered why Kaikeyi was never given this honour?

Pandavas married Draupadi even though it was Kunti who had not realized that the "prize" they had brought home was a woman.

Adi Shankara promised His mother He would do her final rites even though He knew He would be bending the rules as a Sanyasi for this.

So why didnt Bharata obey his mothers commands?

Isnt mother words supposed to be carried out?

Kaikeyi was still within Dharma if we look it at a different angle cos Dasaratha did give her two boons and so she rightfully exercised her rights to it.

Why is Bharata extolled as the obedient brother and not thought of as a defiant son?
