Queen and Princess
The son married the queen, and the father married the daughter of the queen, princess.

In due time two marriages were held as the father married the long foot, and the son took to wife the short foot according to the agreement. And after the usual interval, the father who had married the daughter rejoiced at the birth of a boy, and the son, who had married the mother, was gladdened by the sight of a son.

The Baital held his peace for a few minutes, coughing once or twice impatiently and asked Vikram about the relationship between the children.

This time King Vikram was unable to correctly answer this but said, " Relations are decided by the person who gives birth and not the person born. So all relations are not alike. Let me explain….“He is related to me” but Ï was born to such person and because of him I am related to such a person. If this concept is clear, Hindu custom (of old) decreed that once a lady is married she belongs to her husband's house and has only an indirect relation to her house. Therefore the relation will be the father - his wife - their son -and his wife. Fathers 2nd born son is the stepson to their first born and similarly, the one born to the son is a grandchild of the father and a nephew of the father's second son.

This is my understanding. Not sure about the correctness. But then that is up to you, isn't it?"

The question stumps Vikrama. Satisfied, the Betal allows himself to be taken to the tantric Agnihotri...Sivkishen Ji Author
