Fair judgement given by Prahlad

As Hiranyakashipu was killed by God Vishnu , his son Prahlad was crowned king . Though he is an asura , Prahlad was kind to everyone unlike his ancestors . He was famous for giving fair judgement .




One day 2 women entered his court quarelling over the possession of a new born baby . Both of them claimed that child is hers .






Prahlad thought his mother Kayadu could solve this possession problem . He sent the two women near his mother along with new born baby .




Kayadu asked the first lady to breastfeed the child . Without making any fuss , child started to drink milk . Halfway itself , Kayadu asked the second lady to breastfeed the child .



This time also , child started to drink the milk without making any fuss . Now even Kayadu got confused about who is the real mother .





Prahlad got to know all these . He said to the court that since it is still uncertain about who is the real mother , the baby should be cut into two pieces and each of the ladies should be given a piece .

Hearing that , first lady cried and agreed that child is not hers . Can be given to other lady but child must not be made half .



Second lady with a victorious smile , came forward to get the baby .



But Prahlad stopped the second lady and handed over the child to first lady saying she is the real mother . Only the real mother can not handle the news of her child getting punishment .
