Rajguru’s Ride


Tenali was determined to avenge the Rajguru’s act of betrayal. So he teamed up with Rajguru’s servant and discovered that the Rajguru occasionally goes for hunting which was prohibited in Vijaynagar. Next time, when the Rajguru left for jungle, Tenali followed him. Tenali Raman caught the Rajguru red handed and agreed to keep his mouth shut on a condition. Tenali asked the Rajguru to allow him sit over Rajguru’s shoulders and give him a ride of entire Vijaynagar kingdom. Rajguru did what Tenali demanded.

When Rajguru and Tenali were passing by royal palace, King Krishnadev Raye noticed this unusual duo. As soon as the King realized that one person is causing intense trouble to another person, he got infuriated and ordered his guards to drag the person taking ride over another being’s shoulders to royal court. On the other hands, Tenali sensed something is wrong, so he jumped off the Rajguru’s shoulders and requested Rajguru to climb his shoulder instead. Rajguru happily did what Tenali requested. Sooner, the royal guards arrived the scene. 

They pulled Rajguru down and dragged him to royal court. Krishnadev angrily instructed Rajguru to apologize to Tenali. Rajguru understood that all this has been orchestrated by Tenali, but afraid of getting his secret revealed, he preferred to remain silent.

How Many Pigeons

Once upon a time, King Krishndev Raye thought of playing with Tenali Raam. The King ordered Tenali to find out the number of Pigeons in Vijaynagar. Now this was somewhat absurd. However, after two days, Tenali appeared before the King and said “Maharaaj, there are total 1,01,909 pigeons in Vijaynagar.” Amazed King questioned Tenli’s information. To this, Tenali clarified “Maharaaj If you have doubt, you can yourself reexamine the count of pigeons in the kingdom. If the number is lesser, this means some pigeons have gone outstation to meet their relatives, and if the number have increased this means some pigeons from outside have come to see their relatives living in our kingdom.”

Krishndev realized that he has lost to Tenali. He admired Tenali’s wit once again.
