How does the text explain the origin of the conflict between Veerabhadrappa and Basappa, who were reborn as a snake and a frog?

The source material in Chapter 47 begins to explain the origin of the enmity after a traveler witnesses Baba intervene between the two creatures. The narrator tells the story of a temple renovation project where a wealthy man was appointed manager. This man, described as 'the embodiment of stinginess,' was entrusted with a large sum of money collected from the community. As mentioned in Chapter 47, he was expected to manage the funds honestly and add his own contribution, but his miserly nature caused him to spend all the collected money, leaving the work half-done, while refusing to spend a single penny of his own. This betrayal of trust is presented as the beginning of the story that led to their deep-seated conflict.
