gesture Kautilya politely asked him to sit for a while. He then quickly finished the work.
After completing the work, he extinguished the oil lamp and lit another lamp. The traveller was curious
know why Kautilya did so. He asked Kautilya "Is this a custom in your country, when a guest arrives at you
house?" Kautilya replied, “No my dear, actually when you entered, I was working on an official task. T
oil filled in that lamp was bought from the money of National treasury. Now, when I am talking to you, the
is a personal and friendly conversation. So, I cannot use that lamp now."
