Antakrud-Dasha-Ang-08 - varga-8, Chapter 1 Konika replied-My father had given these two valuable things-Necklace and elephant-to my younger brothers, so it is not proper to ask these things from them.
But chief queen Padmavati insisted then under compulsion, Konika ordered his younger brothers to return that necklace and elephant.
Princes Halla and Vihalla gave a polite answer-Elder brother ! If you want to take these things, then please give us a part of kingdom.
Konika denied the division of kingdom, and tried to take necklace and elephant by force.
Halla-Vihalla knew the scheme of Konika. Then they stealthily ran away to their maternal grandfather king Chetaka taking with them all their army, treasure, seraglio, necklace and elephant. When Konika came to know that Halla-Vihalla had stealthily run away from Campa city then he was filled with wrath. He had sent message to his maternal grand gather to send back princes Halla-Vihalla with divine necklace and Sincanaka elephant. Chetaka was a just man. He replied that if konika gives half of his kingdom to princes Halla and Vihalla then he could accept the proposal.
Denying this propsed Konika attacked vaisali capital city of Chetaka. With king Konika his ten step brothers Kalikumara etc., came as army-commanders in battle field. Millions of men were killed these ten brothers were killed by the arrows of Chetaka.
During this period Bhagavana arrived at Campa city. All the queens Kali and others asked Bhagavana- Can we see the faces of our sons, when they return from battle field or not? The Lord told that their sons had died in war.
Hearing this all the ten queens thought that life is momentary, so disinclined to world, became consecrated.
