The First Chakravarti-Bharat - By Dr. Renuka Porwal, Mob.: 098218 77327
Bharat sent a messenger to convince him to surrender but it was in vain. He was not ready to obey anyone except almighty Rishabhadeva. Their army was about to begin war.
Bharat, the son of Rishabhadeva was the first Chakravarti. Once a Chakra-ratna appeared in his armory. As per tradition, he prayed to the Ratna and commenced his journey to conquer every kingdom. His 98 younger brothers obeyed him except young courageous Bahubali, the mighty king of Taksashila.
To avoid unnecessary violence, they battled with their Gada. Bharat could not win against Bahubali.
Losing temper, Bahubali raised his right hand to hit his brother but at once he realized his wrong deed. He renounced the world by pulling his hair with the same hand.

Once he was standing in his mirror palace, his ring fell down and he saw his empty finger without shine of jewels. He realized the truth of the universe that nothing is forever. Contemplating on the pure soul he received Kevaljnan.
