They cannot be killed but they can be sent to such a place where, while enjoying intense bond, they get sucked into a cycle of sorrow. He learnt that the king of Camp had died and people were looking for an able person to make him the king. He at once sent the Hari twins, who had a life-span of one crore p rvas, along with the Cittarasa kalpav k a tree (wish fulfilling tree) to Camp city, reducing their life-span to one lakh years and their height to 100 dhanu a and gave a call from the skies saying, make these two the king and queen and you shall spend your lives happily. Thinking that to be a god's call from the skies, the people placed Hari on the throne.
