King Krishndev Raye was very happy with Tenali Raman’s service to Vijaynagar. So he decided to gift Tenali, the revenue of one entire village of Vijaynagar. However, Krishndev Raye forgot to process the paper work for the proposal and the gift remained distant dream for Tenali.. But Tenali Ram was not going to give up so easily.
One such day, Krishndev Raye was visiting the city along with Tenali Raman. Suddenly, Krishndev Raye saw a camel and expressed wonder over the peculiar hump of camel. Tenali grabbed this opportunity to remind king about his promise. He immediately spoke “May be, the Camel was some king who forgot his promise to grant revenue of one village to his courtier. And this peculiar hump is the punishment awarded to it by God.” Krishndev Raye understood Tenali’s message. As soon as they returned, Krishndev Raye ordered their servants to initiate the paper work to grant revenue of a village to Tenali.
