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. Their journey was through the bank of the river Thungabhadra.
But one of. I am prepared to die. After I immersed in the river, you two stand Tenali Raman on my sides to prevent me from fleeing. If I try to escape in the midst of praying, you cut with swords aiming my neck.
Raman stood in water with closed eyes. The soldiers were beside him with raised swords. They all stood there for some time. Suddenly Raman swimmed into underwater. The soldiers cut their swords from both sides simultaneously. The heads of soldiers fell in the river. Their bodies were washed away in water. Raman who came from underwater saw the dead bodies of the soldiers. He reached the durbar to see the king.
The king was frightened. Human beings got more value than walls. Raman told the king what has happened in the execution bid. Tenali Raman has escaped thrice from the death sentence.
The three escapes were very narrow. Raman planned to get an assurance from the king not to order to execute him again. He planned a detailed programme to achieve it. The king had a soft corner towards women. He was interested in sexual affairs with them. The priest Tathachary also had similar habits. Raman utilised their weakness. He knew both were fond of women. He called upon Tathachary and tempted him to woman. You can enjoy with her in my house. Come to my home today at 10 p.
Later Raman approached the King Krishnadevarayar. You can enjoy with her there. Please visit my home today at Raman told the priest certain conditions. The priest has to be dressed like a woman and should speak in female voice.
The priest has to accept the conditions of Raman. He was so fond of beautiful women. Raman dressed up the priest like a woman. He sat on the silk bed like a disciplined woman. She is very shy. You must start speaking in a female voice. Only after coming closer, you should disclose that you are a male. After 15 minutes, the king reached there. Ranyan helped the king to dress up like a woman. He accompanied the king to the room where Tachachary was sitting.
The king and the priest believed that the other person was a woman. Both were dressed up like woman. The king revealed that he was a male and came there to enjoy the company of a woman. Tathachary was surprised g He realised that it was the real King Krishnadevarayar. How can he forget the majestic male voice of the king?.
The king understood how he has been fooled by Raman. Tathachary also came to know about the whole episode. The king ordered to open the door. His mind was filled with fear, sadness, and anger. Raman got frightened. You had sentenced me to capital punishment thrice. It happened due to my sudden fury. Raman was relieved. He opened the door and let them free. The King Krishnadevarayar had a quarrel with his queen Thirumalambal. The king stopped visiting the harem.
The queen, meantime sought the help of Tenali Raman to settle the dispute. Raman agreed and enquired the reason for the quarrel. The queen narrated the incident like this: The king wrote a poem. It was a vague one. Certain words like sun, moon, stars, beautiful sky…… were written here and there.
There was no sense in the poem. The king invited his ministers to hear his recitation. But they all avoided the king on flimsy grounds. After midnight, as there were no listeners to his poem, the king went to the harem.
The queen was sitting on the bed expecting the king. She had sleepless nights. As soon as the king reached harem, he began to recite the poem. Thirumalambal remained sleepy hearing the poem. She began to yawn often. The king thought that it was due to disrespect that the queen had yawned. The king who left the harem then, had not returned there yet.
The queen wept after narrating the story. Raman assured her that he will find a solution to the problem. He consoled the queen. Raman waited for the moment to settle their dispute. Soon the day camp. It was about the paddy cultivation in Telangana district. The king said the improvement of agriculture is necessary to meet food shortages. The experts discussed how to utilize the water from the Thungabadra river for agriculture.
Everybody put forward their suggestions. Then came the turn of Tenali Raman. He came before the king with a plate of paddy seeds. Raman said I reached here with a new type of paddy seeds. But the king was reluctant to admit the claim. The king said in the midst of yawning. The king realized the natural fact that all human beings yawn in daily life. He remembered the past events, in which he scolded the queen for her yawning. The king knew that it was the queen Thirumalambal who had sent Raman as a mediator towards him.
The king announced that he is soon going to meet the queen. Raman felt victorious in his mission. The king reached harem in the same night and apologized to the queen.
The king and queen presented Raman valuable gifts for his service. The king possessed a parrot. It always chanted mantras. People believed that the parrot had divine powers. The king told the uniqueness of the parrot to Raman. The king gave a fruit to the parrot, which was locked in a cage. As soon as it received the fruit, the parrot began to chant prayers. After that the parrot ate the fruit. Raman opined that the parrot had no such divine powers.
It chanted prayers in order to receive the fruit. The king challenged Raman to prove his argument. Raman accepted the challenge. The king offered gold coins to Raman if he succeed in his mission. Seeing the cat, the parrot started to cry loudly. It thought that the cat would kill him. It was concerned only with its life and safety. Thus Raman proved that parrot had no divine powers. Raman received gold coins from the king as gift.
Once the king, a soldier and Raman had gone to a remote area of Vijayanagaram, where low caste people were living. The villagers followed an uncivilized life style.
They used to eat dead animals and bira meat. But they did not kill and eat animals and birds. The civilized people hated them due to such kind of life style. The king accepted the challenge put forwarded by Raman. The king made arrangements for the soldier to reside in the village, where the untouchables were living.
He was not permitted to leave the village. But the soldier disliked ragi. He had to live without any food for a week. He became lean. The soldieMloubted whether he would die of starvation. Raman had won the bet.
The soldier conceded the defeat. A moneylender named Ratnachandran lived in Vijayanagaram. He charged heavy interest from the people for the loans.
While he charged 50 percent interest, other moneylenders charged only percent. Raman came to know about the exorbitant interest charged by Ratnachandran. He decided to teach a lesson to the moneylender. Raman borrowed five copper plates from Ratnachandran. It was borrowed as a loan through his friend Yogayya. When he returned the plates there were five small utensils in addition to that. Ratanachandran was surprised Why is these small utensils?
As cunning greedy moneylenders, Ratnachandran was eager to possess the small utensils also. He took away all the utensils to his room. He reminded Yogayya that the gold plates were pregnant. Raman melted the plates and converted them into small ones. He presented the small melted plates to those people who suffered at the hands of Ratnachandran earlier.
After two days, Ratnachandran called on Yogayya and demanded the gold plates. He was expecting the gold plates and little utensils. Yogayya replied that the mother and baby utensils died at the time of delivery. He had been well taught by Raman to fool Ratnachandran. The dejected moneylender approached the king and complained. Raman who intervened in the matter told the king the whole episode. Namun sebelum detensi berakhir, Simon tewas. Menurut para penyidik, kematiannya disengaja.
