Baital continued, “Let me remind you that all the three princes made almost the same contribution towards the release of Chandralekha from the hands of the giant. And as always, if you do not answer my question correctly, I will break your head into pieces.” King Vikramaditya was silent for a few moments and then replied, “As the saying goes, ‘Might is right’, so it would be Prince Dhananjay who was most suitable to marry Chandralekha.
