Raman in the meantime sat near the stove and dried his dresses. The shivering and coldness of the body also disappeared.

The rain also receded. Raman bought cutlet and went outside. He showed cutlet to the horse. But the horse did not pay any attention. Raman gave the cutlets to a dog standing nearby. He rode on the horse. The people curiously looked at Raman and not at the horse. Human sacrifice was common in ancient India. Even today also, there are reports of human sacrifice made by savage people.

What can be done, if human sacrifice is the only solution to set things right? Raman found a way to perform human sacrifice. Superstition among the public was that the destruction of the bridge was caused due to the anger of a ghost. He was a Cluel and a saddist monk. The king was in a dilemma. He wanted the bridge to be built across the river Thungabhadra. The bridge has to be strong and durable.

But Raman has other ideas. Their lives should be sacrificed for public welfare. Now onwards, execute their sentences at the site of the bridges to be built.

Your highness should issue necessary orders in this regard. The king showed a sign of relief. He was excited. He rewarded Raman by presenting gold sovereigns. The king was always generous to Raman. That made the court jester a rich man. We must donate a portion of our wealth to the poor. Is it possible to donate a portion of your assets to the poor?

The king was glad. He was reluctant to part with anything that came to his possession. He hanged a board in one of his houses notifying this. Many read the board. But nobody came forward to accept the house. At that time a Brahmin came there. The house is to be donated to those who are satisfied themselves with their assets.

The Brahmin became silent. He had no answer. The Brahmin was ashamed. He returned empty handed. The story is like this. Once King Krishnadevarayar exhibited 10 pups in the durbar hall. The bend of its tail has to be straightened. He offered gold sovereigns to those who straightened the tail of the pups. The king was of the belief that its tail could never be straightened.

He allowed three months to those who take the pups to straighten their tails. Many took the pups home. They were confident of achieving success in this regard. The people who brought the pups began to perform tricks in its tail.

One man tied a stone in its tail to get rid of its bend. The poor pup walked with weight in its tail. Another man put a metal tube around its tail. The dog had died. The court priests used this situation to the fourth person to buy costly medicines produced by a trap Raman. The fifth person chanted putting the pup to starvation was deliberate. The sixth man thought if the pup becomes fat, its tail will straighten. They conspired to grab money from Raman in the name of These people suffered a lot to fulfill the challenge poojas.

But Raman came to know about the dubious posed by the king. Raman came to know about all these plans of the priests. I am going to sell my horse. It is a good mission. He simply tied his pup and provided only a horse. His pup began to weaken day by Raman promised the priests. The priests were happy. They thought the horse will, At last, the day came for the return of the pups to the yield at least gold coins.

They believed that their durbar. All of them produced the pups before the king. Then it was the turn of Raman from the king, by way of putting the dog to starvation to produce his pup. Its tail was not bent. The pup was dead. The king inspected the ten pups. He gave the promised convince Raman and the locals. They approached Raman gold sovereigns to Raman.

Everybody hailed for remuneration for further poojas. The continuous starvation made the time had advertised the sale of his horse. Similarly constant famine sale. It costs only a copper coin. Then only the horse. Tenali Raman will be given. This was the advertisement appeared for the sale of the horse.

Tenali Raman gave the money received from the sale of the horse, a single copper coin. Raman taught a lesson to the greedy and jealous priests. They did not receive the actual price of the horse; whereas the dustbin yielded coins. Thus Raman ridiculed the priests and managed to get the full amount for his horse. The Mughal emperors were planning to attack Vijayanagaram. King Krishnadevarayar knew about the mobilisation of forces on the borders.

He also made arrangements for national security. The strength of cavalry was also increased. The king bought some ponies. He handed over them to his trusted locals to bring up. He had also arranged to provide 15 silver coins per month towards the feeding expenses of the horses. Raman, who knew about this, reached the palace and brought a horse.

Raman was in dire need of money at that time. He tied the pony to an adjacent room in his house. He sealed the entrance in that room. The fodder was given to the horse through a hole dug on the wall. Tenali Raman did not use the money for providing food to the horse. Instead, he spent the money on food for his people. So Raman did not spend even a copper coin for food to the horse.

He gave a handful of dried grass daily to the horse for its survival. Months have passed. The king ordered to present all the horses at the durbar. Everybody except Raman presented the horse at the palace. Raman informed the king that it was not so easy to bring his horse to the palace. Then the king directed his Muslim General, in charge of cavalry, to bring the pony. The bearded Muslim General was capable of bringing any troublesome horse. He peeped through the hole in the wall.

It was the time of giving dried grass to the horse. The hunger- stiicken pony thought it was dried grass and began to pull the beard and moustache of the General. He tried his best to free from the clutches of the horse.

The General cried for help. The people who assembled there cut his beard with a knife and saved him from the grip of the horse. The General presented the pony at the durbar. For that he has to demolish the wall of the room.

By giving such meagre fodder to the horse, it has done severe harm. Raman joked. The king believed that it was the horse which demolished the wall. Yet he continued. But the horse is to be given sumptuous food! The king ordered to cut short the defence expenditure and allowed it to be utilised for social welfare. He rewarded Raman with 15 gold coins for pointing out the failure in his rule.

A dance troupe from Kuchipudi has arrived there. The king deliberately concealed the news of arts programme from Raman. He feared that Raman may make trouble during the dance programme. He also directed the soldiers and ushers to prevent Raman. The dance started. Raman wished to enter the durbar. Saying this Raman began to trespass the durbar. Then two soldiers stopped him and insisted on him not to enter the palace. I will give you half of that reward. Raman told the other soldier similarly.

He too became happy. Thus Raman entered the durbar with the help of those two soldiers. The king became furious by seeing Raman. Yet, he continued to watch the programme.

It was not a good. Tenali Raman entertainment. The king thought how to end the programme. The play was about Lord Krishna. It was a scene where little Krishna was stealing the dress unrobed by the cowherdess. Seeing this, Raman entered the stage and beat the hero, who began to cry loudly.

Soon the. The Kuchipudi troupe returned from Vijayanagaram. It was Raman who packed up the troupe. The king called Raman and questioned. Raman remained unmoved. You penalise me.

I will dictate the punishment. What are you asking? The program of Kuchipudi troupe was not so good. For that, I am not going to punish you. Please promise 24 blows!

The soldiers came to carry out the punishment. Two soldiers stood on both sides of Raman. I had promised to give half of my reward to them.

The soldiers allowed me to enter the durbar only after promising the prize. The king became furious with the soldiers for defying his orders. He wanted to give severe punishment to the greedy and corrupt soldiers. He ordered to execute 50 blows each to the two soldiers. He rewarded Raman with money for finding the corrupt officials. The increase of the rat population definitely brings famine and food shortage.

To destroy the rat menace, the authorities decided to bring up cats. The king brought one thousand cats for this purpose. He gave a cat to a family. Money was also given to provide milk to the cats. Raman also brought one cat and reached home. According to him, cat can survive even without milk. Raman brought the kitten to his home. He boiled the milk well. A plate of hot milk was placed before of the kitten. It was afraid of the steam from the hot milk. Its lip got burned. It was a turning point.

The kitten began to hide when it saw milk. Thus Raman made his cat a milk hating animal. He gave the milk to his son. A fortnight elapsed. The king ordered to Present all the kittens at the durbar. Everybody exhibited the cats. They all have become healthy by drinking milk. Are you not giving milk to it? But the king was furious.

So you had misappropriated the fund given by me to feed the kitten. I have bought milk using the fund. But did not give up. You are lying. I will give you gold coins, if it is proved that your cat does not drink milk. On the other hand, if your cat drinks milk, you will be whipped times….. Are you ready? Raman agreed. Tenali Raman A soldier brought a plate of milk and placed before the cat. Soon it ran away. Thus Raman won the competition. He was presented with. Later Raman told the king, how he trained it not to drink milk.

The king laughed along with Raman. The king praised Raman for his wisdom. The king used to prepare special type of sugar crystal for himself. After preparation, the sugar will be dried and preserved.

Once Raman saw this process at the palace. But he was doubtful. Raman did not utter anything. The king thought that Raman had believed everything he said. The king went to his room and told the queens about the incident. The queens joined the king in laughter.

They all believed that the king had befooled Raman. Raman went to his home. He returned with his son. They began to eat the sugar kept for drying. When the king returned from haram, he saw Raman and his son eating the sugar. In order to compensate for our sorrows, we are eating sand.

Both of them continued eating sugar. He ordered to collect the rest of the sugar and keep it safe. Henceforth the king never tried to fool Raman. Once the King Krishnadevarayar built a new palace.

He called a good artist and prepared wall paintings. The king and Raman started looking at the paintings. There was beautiful scenery on it. The palace was also adorned with princess portraits. It was the rear view of a woman in a sitting pose. Her shapely figure, long and curly hair attracted everyone. But there was a serious lapse in it. The face of that beautiful woman was not drawn by the artist.

We must see it by our imaginative ability. Do you have any sense of beauty? Raman did not come to the palace for one month. After a month he came to the palace. As you know, we have a newly built summer palace. There are no pictures and paintings there. Raman nodded and went to the summer palace. He began to draw and paint pictures. But his paintings were strange. Parts of our body like eyes, legs and teeth were drawn here and there.

After a week, Raman informed the king that he has completed his work. The king went to see the pictures. But he was disappointed. The beautiful walls of the building looked dirty by painting. It was a heartbreaking scene for the king. He has to live in that palace along with guests the day after.

Raman thought the king will laugh on hearing the answer. As soon as the king ordered the execution of Raman, two soldiers came forward with sword to carry out the order. They set out to the forest. Raman walked between the two soldiers. The soldiers had a grudge towards Raman. So they had no heiitation in killing him. On the other hand, Raman also planned to cheat the soldiers.
