It would be interesting to contrast the three brothers - Someshwara, Vikramaditya and Jayasimha, and to study how they behaved when they got power. Someshwara forgot that Vikramaditya could easily have become the Yuvaraja; he had refused, and had requested his father to make Someshwara the Yuvaraja. Someshwara was suspicious of Vikramaditya. As a result, he brought trouble upon himself. Jayasimha, too, had become foolish and over-ambitious once he got power. Vikramaditya remained sane and merciful even when he had power, and had been victorious.
