After killing him, you will be able to enjoy the kingdom of the earth. Don’t think of exhibiting compassion for your maternal uncle. You have already crossed over three vast oceans, represented by Bhisma, Drona & Karna. Now you must be careful not to sink into the calf’s hoof print that is represented by Salya. After sayin...
