One day, a great and clever scholar came to Vijayanagara and requested an audience in the court of Sri Krishnadevaraya. The scholar bragged that he had mastered all subjects and also defeated many scholars in a battle of wits across India.

Saying that, he challenged Sri Krishnadevaraya for a battle of wits with his esteemed eight poets. The king accepted the challenge and started the battle of wits. All the poets were getting defeated one after the other, and the scholar seemed to know every subject. Let us have a debate on any topic you choose from this great piece of literature called Thilaka Mahista Bandhanam.

The pundit was startled; he has read thousands of books in several languages but never heard about this book.

He bowed his head in defeat and left the court. At the same time, he was curious about that piece of literature. After facilitating and rewarding Tenali Raman, the king asked him what Thilaka Mahista Bandhanam was. Rama laughed and removed the silk cloth. The whole court laughed, and Sri Krishnadevaraya praised Tenali Rama for his wit, astuteness, and humor.

Do not be arrogant about knowing everything. There is definitely something that you do not know. Tenali Raman was a Telugu poet, scholar, and thinker.
