अंतिम लड़ाई को मुट्ठी से सिर मार से लड़ा जा रहा था. भारत पहली गोली मार दी थी, क्योंकि वह Bahubali है, जो लगभग भूमि पर Bahubali से खटखटाया था पुराना है. तो, यह है Bahubali बारी थी.

एक क्षत्रिय योद्धा (के लिए एक नियम के रूप में), एक बार वह कार्रवाई ले लिया है, यह संभव नहीं है या उसे वापस लेने के लिए पीछे हटना. तो, बजाय उनके उठाया हाथ के साथ उनके बड़े भाई पर एक झटका उतरने की तो उन्होंने दिशा बदल गया है, उसी हाथ से बाहर खींच अपने बाल, इस प्रकार हड़ताली भारत से परहेज. इस के साथ, वह एक तरफ उसकी संपत्ति के सभी रखा, और एकान्त renunciant बन गया. इस उदाहरण से सीखना, भारत के लिए भूमि, पैसे के लिए अपने लालच की मूढ़ता समझ में आया, और सत्ता अपने छोटे भाई को क्षमा. भारत को कुछ समय के लिए शासन जारी रहा, अंत में जब तक एक एकान्त renunciant के रूप में यहोवा Rishabdev में शामिल होने.

Bahubali पता था कि अगर वह मठवासी ले प्रतिज्ञा की अनुमति के लिए भगवान Rishabdev गया था, वह सब उनके 98 छोटे भाइयों को झुकना, जो उसे पहले त्याग करना पड़ता था. 
Bahubali महान संकल्प के साथ ध्यान से परम ज्ञान प्राप्त शुरू किया, लेकिन कामयाब नहीं हुए, क्योंकि उसके अहंकार है, जो उसे अपने पिता की अदालत का दौरा करने से रोक दिया था, की अनुमति उसे इस Keval Jnana पाने के लिए नहीं है.

[edit] The Contest
Bahubali's elder brother, Bharat, was envious of his wealth, grandeur, strength and success. His desire was for all of Bahubali's kingdom and wealth, and thus, Bharat decided to attack the lands Bahubali ruled. Fearing that the war would destroy both the kingdoms, as well as thousands of innocent soldiers, the ministers of both sides began negotiations. After much thinking, it was decided that a personal contest between the two brothers would be a better option than war. The brothers were required to enter three traditional forms of martial contest: drisht yudha, jal yudha, and mal yudha.
The last battle was to be fought by hitting heads with fists. Bharat had the first shot, because he was older than Bahubali, which knocked Bahubali nearly to the ground. Then, it was Bahubali's turn. Bahubali's name means 'Bahu' - Arm, and 'Bali' - Strength, he was known for the immense strength of his arm. Everybody knew and worried, that if Bahubali's bloiws struck Bharat, Bharat would probably die. This contest could have been easily won by Bahubali striking Bharat. But as Bahubali raised his arm to land a blow, he paused, realizing that fighting his elder brother for land, wealth, and power was neither sane nor righteous. Indeed, it would have been a grievous moral failure for a son of Lord Rishabdev, who was Tirthankar, a highly spiritual person.
As a rule for a Kshatriya (warrior), once he has taken action, it is not possible for him to withdraw or retreat. So, instead of landing a blow on his older brother with his raised arm, he simply changed direction, pulling out his own hair with the same hand, thus avoiding striking Bharat. With this, he put aside all of his possessions, and became a solitary renunciant. Learning from this example, Bharat came to understand the folly of his greed for land, money, and power forgiving his younger brother. Bharat continued to ruled for some time, until eventually joining Lord Rishabdev as a solitary renunciant.
[edit] Meditation
But the fight with his brother troubled Bahubali, so after much contemplation, he decided to give up his kingdom and take up the ascetic life. He took to meditation with a thirst for truth, but - it was for ego that he took to meditation on his own. Among monks who accept monastic vows, one must bow to all others who have accepted previously regardless of age. Bahubali knew that if he went to Lord Rishabdev for permission to take monastic vows, he would have to bow down to all his 98 younger brothers, who had renounced before him.
Bahubali began meditating with great resolve to attain supreme knowledge, but did not succeed because his ego, which stopped him from visiting his father's court, did not allow him to attain this Keval Jnana.
[edit] His Sisters Help Him
However, Bahubali was adamant. He continued his practice unmindful of the vines, ants, and dust which enveloped his body. Concerned, his sisters Brhami and Sundari asked Tirthankar Adinath about their worldly brother Bahubali. Tirthankar Adinath said that, although just moments away from enlightenment, Bahubali could not achieve it because he didn't realise that he was standing on 'the elephant' - Ego. Now understanding his folly, the sisters approached him and said 'O more bhai, ave to gaj ti utro' (O my dear brother, at least now get down from the elephant). This saying from the sisters led Bahubali to question "Am I really standing on any kind of elephant?". From this question he soon realised that the elephant he was standing upon was his pride and ego. As Bahubali realised his mistake, shedding his pride and ego, truth and enlightenment dawned upon him.
Blessed with the knowledge of Truth, Bahubali went to see his father who welcomed him. Bahubali began teaching and showing people the right path.
