Hi friends, we learnt that Krishnadevaraya looked like Tenal Ramakrishna so much
because of his presence of mind as well as sense of humour.
One more incident happened during Krishnadevaraya's time.
What is that incident happened?
See, we don't know that children trouble us in different ways.
There is no proper reason for troubling us.
And one day Tenal Ramakrishna came to the court late.
On being asked why he came late, he gave a reason.
It appeared to Krishnadevaraya as a silly reason.
For that, he showed everything practically.
What did he show?
Let us know that.
Once Krishnadevaraya sent a message to Tenali Ramakrishna to attend the court.
He reached very late.
Krishnadevaraya said,
What Ramakrishna Garu?
Why did you come late?
We have been waiting for you since morning.
Sorry Rayal Garu.
My son was troubling a lot.
My wife could not manage him.
It took me this much of time to handle him and come to the court.
What Ramakrishna?
It seems to be a very poor excuse.
When you are able to handle many great personalities and solve problems,
can't you handle a small baby?
Said Krishnadevaraya.
It is very difficult to handle a child, Mahaprabhu.
More difficult than solving any tough problem.
Said Ramakrishna.
Unbelievable Ramakrishna.
You can keep a child quiet by giving him a biscuit or a chocolate.
Said the king.
No Maharas.
It is not that easy.
Okay, I will show you practically.
Let us play the roles of a father and son for a while.
You be my father and I am your son.
Said Tenal Ramakrishna.
The king agreed.
He pretended to be father of Tenal Ramakrishna.
Tenali got into his action as son.
Dad, take me to the market.
Okay, let's go, said the king.
After reaching the market, he said,
purchase that colorful bag for me, said the son.
Sure, my son.
You asked a simple one.
Said the king as father.
Saying so, father purchased the bag.
Tenali became uncontrollable.
Started moving here and there.
No, my son.
There is heavy traffic here.
Shouldn't run like that, said Rayalu as father.
Tenali showed a huge elephant to Krishnadevaraya and said,
Dad, I want to climb up the elephant and like to have a ride.
King agreed.
Okay, your wishes are fulfilled.
Let's go home now, said the king.
No, dad.
I want that elephant.
Purchase it for me, said Tenali.
Krishnadevaraya thought Tenali was acting too much.
What to do?
He took out his bracelet, gave it to Mohit.
Bought the elephant and then turned to Tenali and said,
Can we make a move now?
Dad, you put that elephant in this shoulder bag.
I will carry it myself, said Tenali.
Are you mad?
This is not a small toy elephant.
How can you place that huge elephant in this shoulder bag,
said the king angrily.
Tenali giggled, came back to his original state and said,
Mahaprabhu, I think you might have understood now
how difficult it is to handle children.
They always trouble us in this way.
Krishnadevaraya laughed bitterly and said,
Ramakrishna Garu, you are really amazing.
Once again, you exhibited your quick wit in a very humorous way.
In that way, Tenali Ramakrishna was exhibiting his quick wit
added with sense of humor.
We too come across such instances in our life too with our kids.
Let's come with some other interesting topic in our next video.
Till then, bye.
