Transcripts
Once,
King Krishnadevaraya went to Cuttack.
There, he reached the banks of the River Narmada.
A great saint was staying there.
Hmmm...
The saint can float in air with his power of meditation,
He should definitely be a great and a powerful saint.
I should seek his blessings.
Oh great saint!
I'm krishnadevaraya, the king of Vijayanagara.
Your power has impressed me.
Kindly shower your blessings upon me.
Oh King,
Is everything okay with you?
Fine?
Are you happy now?
Yes, Guru Ji!
Hmmmm!
The warriors of Vijayanagar,
have conquered the neighbouring states.
by defeating them in the battles recently.
Though this has brought about name and fame,
the losses have been plenty.
In lifes, as well as money.
This has caused you great pain.
This pain has been prevailing over your victory.
What?!
Isn't this your state now?
Yes, Guru Ji.
Everything that you've said is true.
My kingdom is in great difficulty now.
Please give me a solution to this situation.
Okay.
Take this bowl with you.
Go to the Holy River Narmada,
Fetch the bowl full of water from the river.
As you wish, Guruji!
Guru Ji?
What should I do with this water?
Take this back home.
Sprinkle it in your treasurey.
Your treasury will be filled with enormous wealth.
May the Lord bless your kingdom,
with more name and fame.
Thanks a lot, Guru Ji!
But, one condition!
Not a single drop of water must be spilt,
anywhere on your way back.
I will do it, Guru Ji!
Hmmm?
Who will be capable of carrying this bowl of water,
without spilling to Vijayanagara?
The ministers and commanders are not so responsible
Hmm.
I guess Tenali Raman should be perfect for the job.
I'll hand over this responsibility to him.
Commander,
yes your Majesty.
Commander,
he is supposed to take this bowl of water to Vijayanagara
without spilling any drop.
Ask Tenali to do it.
Your Majesty.
Tenali is not capable of carrying out this job.
He has been sleeping for long now.
How will he be able to carry this water to vijayanagara
without spilling it?
Is that so, is he sleeping?
Let's go and see
Tenali,
what is this?
Oh my lord.
Did you call me?
Hmm
I came here to give you a major responsibility.
But you're sleeping.
Your Majesty,
when I have no responsibility, I go to sleep
But when you give me some responsibility,
my eyes never close.
Tenali,
I wonder if you'll be able to carry this bowl of water,
without spilling a single drop on the ground.
If you spill even a single drop of water,
Our kingdom will be in great trouble.
So be it my lord.
I'll take care of it.
Hahahaha.
I am sure the Tenali Raman will at least fill this water out.
Even if it doesn't,
I will make him do it.
He should be punished by the King.
Oh commander.
You need brains to think.
so don't waste your time.
The King has already left.
Go follow him now.
Hmm I know.
You better be careful.
The King was sitting in the chariot,
but his thoughts were fully concentrated on the bowl.
Tenali Raman was following the king in another chariot.
The King was worried only about the bowl of water.
The commander who was riding the chariot Tenali,
deliberately went on a stony and uneven path,
so that the water would definitely spill.
Tenali,
was not at all bothered about this.
He was fast asleep.
As soon as they reached the palace,
Commander,
ask Tenali to bring the bowl immediately.
Your Majesty,
our dear Tenali Raman.
Hahaha.
Take a look at his plight
The King,
and commander reached Tenali's chariot.
The king found Tenali sleeping
peacefully in his chariot.
He grew very angry.
Tenali Rama!
My Lord.
Tenali,
what have I said and what are you doing?
What happened to the responsibility I gave you?
Where is the bow?
you have ruined the good fortunes of our Kingdom?
Your majesty
I know it is very difficult
to carry a bowl of water
without spilling
while coming in a chariot
So I placed the bowl in this leather bag
and have tied it tightly.
And the water is here safe,
as you handed it over to me.
Tenali Rama,
your intelligence is unmatched,
and I too have become very short tempered.
I am very sorry if I have hurt you by my words.
Your majesty,
there is nothing new in you scolding me.
At the end of the day,
you always land up appreciating me.
This is known to everyone in our Kingdom.
Don't change this tradition
Hahahahahahahahahahahaha.
Dear children.
What did you learn from the story?
Tenali has proved,
that you should play while you play,
and work while you work.
Only then,
will you be
respected by everyone.
