The kingdom of Shantam was perhaps the only kingdom in the world ruled by twins. Unable to decide who should rule, King Utham instructed his sons, Chitram and Vichitram, to rule together rather than divide the kingdom. Of the brothers, Vichitram was ambitious and wanted to conquer the entire known world. However, even he knew it wouldn’t be possible in a single lifetime.
So he sought a few of his preferred scholars to find a solution. From them, he got to know that there is an island named Amrutham at the edge of the world where there is a lake filled with the elixir for immortality. One drop from this lake of milk, which tasted like honey, could make anyone immortal by giving them a chain. As long as they wore the chain, these mortals were meant to be immortal and invincible.
