VIKRAMDITYA

The Suspicious Elder Brother

Do you remember that Vikramaditya had helped Jayasimha of Malwa? In the second battle Udayaditya defeated Jayasimha and became the king of Malwa. Jayasimha again sought the help of Someshwara the Second. This time he did not send his brother because he did not trust him. Someshwara was afraid that Vikramaditya would gain the help of the king of Malwa and would became more powerful; he feared Vikramaditya would be a danger to him. So Someshwara himself led an army to help 'Jayasimha, but in vain. Udayaditya defeated Someshwara who returned in shame.
