[Bharata then declared that if he does not kill Bahubali because it would be an offence to his father, he would hold him firm as an elephant is held in chains. The armies of both Bharata and Bahubali met and trumpets blown and drums beaten, when Bahubali said to his ministers that he would not move a step from his place but would stop the progress of Bharata's army. When their armies were about to strike, the ministers stood between them and adjured them not to discharge an arrow, and then requested both Bharata and Bahubali not to engage themselves into a war which would lead to the destruction of poor soldiers, but that they should fight with each other in three ways, viz., they should fix their gaze on each other so that none would move his eye-lashes, that they should strike each other with water, and that they should go in for a wrestling match till one holds or weighs the other on his arms. Both of them agreed to fight accordingly. But in all the three forms of fight Bahubali came out victorious. When Bharata was lifted up by Bahubali, he thought of his cakra which immediately went round Bahubali and stood by the right hand side of Bharata. Bahubali thereupon dropped
his brother Bharata on the ground. ]
