Question

Relationship between padmini and Devadatta

Answer 1

Devadatta and Padmini share a relationship that appears to be one way on the surface, but reveals subterranean elements.  The result is complexity, and a statement about the nature of relationships, in general.  On face value, the love between Devadatta and Padmini makes sense.  The wise and poetic Brahmin is married to the stunningly beautiful and chaste Padmini.  Yet, herein lies the dilemma.  While the Brahmin poet is wise, he is not physically appealing.
