Tenali Raman was indeed a wise person in king Krushnadevraya’s court but one day a wiseman came to Vijaynagar. He met one Panditji and requested him to take him to king Krushnadevraya so he that can replace Tenali Raman. The Panditji took him to the palace and stood him near Krushnadevraya.
The wise man told the king that his court has many wise men but he is the best as he can speak 15 languages fluently. He also offered a bet that if anyone in the court will identify his mother tounge from this 15 languages then he will present him a surprise Gift but if all of them will be failed, the king will have to recognize him as the wisest man of his court. The king was sure that atleast one person can identify his mother tounge.
The king accepted the offer and the wise man started speaking in all 15 languages. No one from the court identified his mother tounge. At last the king asked Tenali if he could. Tenali Raman accepted the King’s request. Tenali Rama went to the man and bite him in his hands. Suddently with lots of pain, the man started shouting spoke something in gujrati remembering his mother. Tenali Rama told the king that his mother tounge is gujarati because in pain all of us speaks our mother tounge. The wise man ageed about gujrati and every one accepted that Tenali Raman is a very wise man of Vijayanagar.
