horrified by thinking what will happen? Thousands of people were steadily observing this scene. However, when he came closer to King Bharat his mind got agitated.
"Oh... who am I? The son of God Rushabhdev; the father, who abandoned all luxuries. My younger ninety eight brothers had also abandoned this world in few seconds and damned stupid I am here to kill my father like elder brother. I am so infatuated in luxuries and wishes. I despise myself! I hate this world! It is better to go on my father's path.
Instantaneously, Bahubali did Locha by the fist. And vowed for 'Sarva Virti' Indra etc. deities and other people were amazed. All were looking at the Bahubali's unique valour. The deities showered flowers on Bahubali.
King Bharat saluted his younger brother for his unique pith. Very softly he said, "Brother! You are the real son of God Rushabhdev. You replicated father's way. How wicked I am! Knowingly I am infatuated in all the luxuries."
King Bharat apologized for his did. King Bharat coroneted Bahubali's son, Chandrayashā, at Takshasheela. King Bharat returned to Vinita and was coroneted by title of Sovereign.
Bahubali pursued initiation in the battlefield only and was meditating. He was desperate to meet his father God Rushabhdev
