What explanation did Tenali Raman give about the name of the strange scripture? |
|
Answer» Tenali Raman had pretended that the bundle contained scriptures called ‘tila-kashta-mahishabandhana’, and he wanted to discuss its merits. However, the bundle only contained some til (sesame), kashta (sticks or stems of sesame plants) and rope. Hence, tila-kashta meant the stems of sesame plants. The rope the bundle contained was used to tie up buffaloes. Mahisha meant buffalo and bandhana is the rope to tie up something. So that was ( the ‘tila-kashta-mahisha-bandhana’ he had mentioned. |
