Tammanna who lived in a far-off place had everything such as ten acres of wet land and a comfortable house. Among all his possessions, Basavaiah was his rival. In the beginning all looked like healthy competition. Tammanna had possessed two hundred acres of excess land than Basavaiah. He wasmad witn rage and acquired Tammanna’s excess of land forcibly. The quarrel led them to seek the advice of their supporters. A war had become virtually inevitable. But Tammanna was in search of a method that could destroy Basavaiah completely, He composed ballads and started singing them. He became popular soon. Basavatah had no answer to this. Tammanna’s fame rose everywhere. He was facilitated as the best poet. Basavaiah shrunk in humiliation as any of his agricultural tasks and material wealth was not answer to Tammanna. He thought of another method of punishing Basavaiah as he was suffering from disease. Tammanna’s disease was Basavaiah’s health. He decided to die and put an end to competition. He thought that his death alone would destroy Basavaiah. He gave up everything and started off.
