Rajguru of Vijayanagar court was an orthodox person. He had strong dislike towards lower caste people. When Tenali came to know about it, he felt bad for those who were discriminated by the Rajguru. Tenali Raman asked Rajguru the reason for his behavior. “ The people of these caste are evil, and even If by mistake I will look at them, I will be born as a donkey in my next life” replied Rajguru. Tenali realized that Rajguru needs to taste his own medicine.

Few days later, Krishnadev Raye was leading Royal procession through the streets of Vijayanagar. On the way, there was a group of donkeys. As soon as Tenali looked at Donkeys, he jumped off his horse and started bowing before those donkeys. Krishnadev Raye laughed and asked the reason behind this act. “I am paying respect to the ancestors of Rajguru, who had mistakenly looked at people of lower castes.” Replied Tenali. Rajguru understood the message. After that, he stopped discriminating any person.
