quarrel. With or without a written contract, people

violence and war. The uncle and nephew were about
to fight for property and position. They both wanted
Srinivasa on their side. Srinivasa asked Padmavati
who’s side he should support?” She said, “Vasudan
is my brother. He is very dear to me. You cannot go
against him.”
