rule together. We have been doing this peacefully. In
              your father’s absence, we should rule together”

              But Vasudan said, “Is it in writing? Show me. How can
              you  prove  your  statement?”  There  was  no  written
              agreement as the brothers trusted each other.

              Vasudan declared that his uncle was lying. Vasudan
              declared himself  the sole  king.  The  disagreement
              escalated. The people  of  the kingdom  chose to
              believe one side  or the other and  soon  there was
              preparation for war.


              On  the  battlefield  the  two  armies  were  about  to
              start the war. This is the age of Kali – hypocrisy and
              quarrel. With or without a written contract, people
              in this age make up their own interpretations of the
              facts.  This  often  leads  to  disagreements  and  even
              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.”
