t goes back to 650 B.C. when the administrator of India was Krishnadev Raya. His kingdom was happy enough under his rule. He had a very intelligent courtier, Tenali Raman, who was widely known for his quick-witness. Often, he was rewarded for his brilliancy. It is the story of one of those incidents.
Once, it came to the Samrat’s mind that if he ever knew the correct time for every action, the correct person to listen to, and the correct job to do. He wanted to know the all three answers for above questions. He proclaimed throughout his kingdom that he would give a great reward to anyone who would answer him. During all these, Tenali was not in the capital. It was a great chance for the other courtiers who felt jealous of Tenali.
All of them answered differently ~ first, a learned courtier said, “Maharaj, One must draw up in advance, a table of days, months and years, and must live strictly according to it. Only thus, one can do everything in its proper time.”
Another Courtier said, “It is impossible to decide beforehand the right time for every action; but it, not letting oneself be absorbed in idle pastimes , one shall always attend to all that is going on, and then do what is most important.”
Others, again, said, “however attentive the Maharaj may be to what is going on, it is impossible for one man to decide correctly the right time for every action, but he shall have a Council of wise men, who would help him to fix the proper time for every action.”
But again, other courtiers said, “ Kshama Maharaj, but there are some things which cannot wait to be laid before a Council, but about which one has at once to decide whether to undertake them or not. But in order to decide that, one must know beforehand what is going to happen. It is only Jyotish who know that, and, therefore, in order to know the right time for every action Maharaj must appoint a Raj-Jyotish”.
Similarly varied were the answers to the second question. Some said, “Maharaj needs the most his councilors”; others said, “Poojari is the most important people to the Samrat”. Others said that the warriors and some said the doctors are the most important to Samrat.
Likewise to the third question, as to what was the most important occupation: some answered that the important thing in the world was Science. Senapati said it was skill in warfare and Raj-Guru said it was religious worship that Maharaj should do.
As the all answers were different and was unsatisfactory to Maharaj, he agreed with none of them. He didn’t give reward to anyone and was still wishing for the answers.
On the next day, Maharaj heard that a renowned Sadhu Maharaj i.e. hermit came in the city. He decided to visit him and ask him the answers of his questions.
The hermit lived in a small wooden house near the river bank. He met none but common people so, the Samrat put on simple clothes, and before reaching the hermit’s cell dismounted from his horse, and, leaving his bodyguards behind, went on alone.
When the Samrat approached, the Sadhu was digging the ground in the front of his house. “Namaskar!” hermit greeted the Samrat, when he saw him and went on digging. The hermit was seemed to be frail and weak, he breathed heavily each time when he stuck his spade into ground and turned a little earth.
The Samrat went up to him and said, “Sadhu Maharaj, I have come to you to ask the answers of my three questions: How can I know the right time for every action? Who are the most important people to me? and What are the most important affairs to me that needs my first attention?”
Sadhu listened to the Samrat but answered nothing. “You seem to be tired, Let me do work a while for you.” said the Samrat.
“Dhanyawad” said the hermit giving the spade to the Samrat, and, sat on the ground.
After digging two beds, the Samrat stopped and repeated his question again. Sadhu again gave no answer, but rose, stretched out his hand for the spade, and said, “Now rest awhile and let me work a bit.”
But the Samrat did not give him the spade, and continued to dig. One hour passed, and another. The sun began to sink behind the trees, and the Samrat at last stuck his spade into the ground, and said “I came to you, Sadhu Maharaj, for an answer to my questions. If you can give me none, tell me so, and I’ll return home.”
“Here comes someone running,” said the Sadhu, “let us see who it is.”
