When Arjuna saw this he is not tolerate it



Arjuna and Eklavya’s purpose are
appropriate for their character.
T.P. kailasam’s purpose that he want to
high light the character of Eklavya
So T.P.kailasam’s the play ‘The purpose’
is appropriate.
Because in the play we can see the
purpose of Eklavya, Arjuna and
T.P.kailasam’s also.
