Perhaps, it strikes her, the right man to possess the gift of immortality would be the benevolent King Bhartrhari who rules the kingdom so capably and cares for the people. The gift of immortality to a benevolent King would benefit the kingdom and its subjects immensely.

And the prostitute gifts the apple to King Bhartrhari. Bhartrhari is astonished when the apple returns to him.

Bhartrahari questions the prostitute and traces the sequence back. The thread leads to his queen and with a heavy heart the King discovers that the queen has betrayed his love and faith.

What are the options open to Bhartrhari?

Here is where a person's free will comes into play. Bhartrhari could have punished his wife or the charioteer. But Bhartrahari chooses otherwise.

He renounces the privileges and luxuries of his kingly life and becomes a sage under the tutelage of Guru Gorakhnath, the famous disciple of Guru Matsyendranath, founder of the Natha sect.

Now if we were to place Nanavati in Bhartrhari's place and Sylvia in the queens, Nanavati is in the same situation as King Bhartrahari.

But Nanavati chose to murder Prem Ahuja and suffered the consequences. A man's actions then or karma is equally important in shaping his destiny."
