On the Naumiday a little time was left for the closure of the Darbar, when a hand some person entered the court. He presented the gifts before the king and bowed to him. Bharat ji permitted him to sit in a proper place.

Who was this gentleman? He was Prnaya Chandra the minister, of his younger brother, Bahubali. He was very learned as his name indicated. He was very able and far sighted.

Stanza 83-84

 

After a little conversation Bharat enquired, “ How is my brother and how he is spending time and what is his daily routine and what is his reaction when he heard the news of my undertaking the victory of the world.

 

 

On hearing the questions Prnaya Chandra stood up and with clasped hands and respect said, “Rajan ! with your good wishes your brother is quite well, he has no anxieties, nor any obstruction, and he is spending his time with great pleasure, because he is also son of Lord Adi Nath”

Some time he goes for pleasure into the forest, sometimes he enjoys the company of his queens looking at the play of different kinds of birds in his palace.

Stanza 89

 

He enjoys the pleasant objects but with a sense of detachment and practices self absorption. He is after all your brother. This is the daily routine. He has heard the news of your ambitions to conquer the world and he has very much appreciated it.   

Stanza 90-91

 

He told me that he was very much pleased to hear the news of your determination to conquer the world. It is a fit task for your bravery and who can match you? Then he also spoke with a little tinge of pride that in this earth who was there to match his father among Gods and his brother among men. He exists on account of their blessings.

He (The Minister) further added your brother was about to come to take your blessings, but due to unavoidable reasons could not present himself.He is busy in listening to a shashtra (scared book) since there is Chaturmas of a saint. The Saint is giving discourse on Atma and your brother is listening to it. It may be possibly be completed within a day or two.

Stanza 94-95

 

I have one more thing to say, my Lord, but it is a matter of policy. Raja asked him to take his seat. Hearing that a confidential matter was to be discussed all intelligent people left the court. People in those days were not lacking in intelligence.

Subjects, family members, ministers, artists and poet etc all disappeared in a moment. Then, when all had left, Pranya Chandra stated with low voice. At that time Raja’s minister was also present.

 Stanza 99

Rajan ! there is nothing particular. Your brother has expressed his wish to take your mother to podanpur during your absence from the kingdom.

Stanza 100

His intention is to keep the mateshwari with him as long as you do not return from your Digvijay. Can a son remain separate from his mother?

Stanza 101 to 103

On hearing these words of Pranya chand Bharat said , “there is nothing for amother to go to her son or for the son to take his mother. What was necessity for asking me about it. He is also her son and has the same right as I have in this matter. I work under mother’s command. It is my duty to carry out her wishes. My respected mother always gives me religious advice and teaching. I can say nothing to her. If brother wants to take her, he may do so. What can I say?

Stanza 104

On hearing this Pranya chand said again, My Lord your brother has expressed exactly the similar ideas as you have been pleased to say that there is no necessity to ask you about such a matter, but I respectfully pointed out that it was not quite proper and it is necessary to give this information to you. For this reason I have come to inform you.

Stanza 105

 

Bharat ji laughed within himself on hearing this and said “Pranya chandra, you are very wise I an very glad on the manner you have performed your duty. You should remain with Bahubali”. He then gave him rewards of precious jewels and clothes. Pranya chandra bowed to the Raja and left the place.

 

Stanza 106-107

 

After Pranya chandra had left Bharat laughed within himself at the cleverness of Bahubali. Then said to the ministers “Look Buddhisagar, the audacity of my brother. He does not want to come here for certain reasons which out of deceitfulness he does not want to clarify. For this reason he has sent his man for putting forward some excuses. It is also pretence that he is hearing a shashtra.

Stanza 108-109

It is a good policy. He is proud of the fact that he is one of the Kamdevas. He thinks that he is above all. No one can equal him. It is all due to the effect of the Hunda Avsarpani era. Pranya chandra concealed the real purposeand has put the matter in avery diplomatic manner. I know very well that Bahubali has no brotherly devotion towards me. All right, let him do what he thinks proper. I cannot help it nor I have any concern with this.
