00:11Who is the wittiest jester in the land?
00:15Denali!
00:17Hits you with his wit, things cut out of hand.
00:19Denali!
00:20He can build you up or cut you down.
00:23Denali!
00:25He's a poet, he's a clown.
00:27Denali!
00:28Ba-dum-bum-bum-bum, Denali!
00:31Ba-dum-bum, Denali!
00:33Ba-dum-bum, Denali-Daman!
00:37Yeah!
00:39The Adventures of Tenali Ramen.
00:47Welcome, dear friends, to the kingdom of Vijayanagara, ruled by the great monarch, Krishna Devaraya.
00:55Ho-ho-ho-ho-ho!
00:56A kind and generous king, Krishna Deva ruled with a firm yet gentle hand.
01:03And he never acted without first consulting his two most trusted advisors, both of whom were held in the highest
01:10regard.
01:19One was the wise and distinguished court counsellor.
01:23Oh, Raj Guruji, let me help you.
01:25What?
01:26Tingale, no!
01:28Ah!
01:31Ah!
01:32That's it!
01:33Ah!
01:37Ah!
01:39Ah!
01:39Ah!
01:40Ah!
01:41Ah!
01:42Ah!
01:43Ah!
01:45The Rajguru of Vijayanagara.
01:51The other was the great poet and royal jester,
01:55whose wit and wisdom made him a favorite of the kings,
01:58and a hero to the whole kingdom.
02:00His name was Tenali Raman, and this is his story.
02:05Ladies and gentlemen,
02:08today we celebrate the anniversary
02:11of Tenali Raman's arrival as royal jester of Vijayanagara.
02:17Happy anniversary, Raman.
02:21Oh, Raman.
02:25Raman, tell us the story of how you became a jester.
02:30It's one of my favorites.
02:36Oh, Rajguru.
02:57Come, Raman, tell us the story.
03:01Yeah, Raman!
03:04Story!
03:05Hello?
03:11It all started back in my home village of Tenali.
03:16Oh, yes.
03:18Yes, Sundari.
03:19You were there too.
03:21So, I was working hard in the drain fields south of Tenali.
03:29Oh, Sundari.
03:31Oh, Sundari.
03:32Yes.
03:32Okay.
03:33Well, I wasn't exactly working.
03:35In fact, I was launching.
03:43So, on this particular day, a yogi happened by and gently woke me.
03:55Awaken, my son.
03:57A wandering yogi?
03:59Yes.
03:59I woke you because I am dismayed to see a young man like yourself lounging instead of working
04:07or attending school.
04:08It is unwise to indulge yourself in this way.
04:11Without work or study, you will face many hardships later.
04:19Your haggard face and raggedy appearance tells me that you are in trouble already.
04:23Huh?
04:25Oh.
04:27Oh.
04:28Listen to me, my son.
04:31You must go immediately to the Kali temple.
04:34Pray to Kalima, the black goddess.
04:37Huh?
04:37The unnameable.
04:38Oh.
04:39The mistress of death.
04:41Oh, no.
04:42Go, my son.
04:43Go to the Kali temple and pray to the goddess sincerely.
04:47She will shower her grace upon you.
04:52I shall do as you say.
04:54Come Sudri.
04:57I left the yogi and traveled far across the southern wastelands.
05:03Wow.
05:04Yes.
05:05Southern wastelands.
05:07Wasteland wastelands.
05:11Tata.
05:12Please be silent.
05:14Continue, Raman.
05:16Yes.
05:16Well.
05:17Until I had finally reached the mountain of Kalima.
05:26We ran up the staircase at great speed.
05:31Oh.
05:34Yes.
05:35Well.
05:36I suppose we didn't exactly run up the staircase.
05:40Oh.
05:44Oh, no.
05:56Arise, Raman.
05:58The wandering yogi.
06:01Yes.
06:01Kind yogi.
06:03Can you spare some water?
06:05No.
06:07Pull yourself together, my son.
06:09You must listen to my words.
06:12I shall teach you a mantra.
06:15The recitation of which will conjure the goddess Kali herself.
06:19But, on one condition.
06:22You must recite the mantra one hundred thousand times.
06:29Swami.
06:30I shall do as you say.
06:32Please teach me the mantra.
06:34The yogi patiently taught me the mantra.
06:37Oh.
06:37Oh.
06:38Oh.
06:38Oh.
06:39Oh.
06:39Oh.
06:40Oh.
06:40It is done.
06:41You have learned the mantra.
06:43Now it is time to meet your destiny.
06:46Conjure Kali.
06:48Beg for prosperity and good health.
06:51Good luck, my son.
06:53Nanananananananananananana.
06:58And so, Sundari and I fearlessly.
07:05Okay.
07:06Okay.
07:06With great fear in our hearts, we enter the temple.
07:11This is scary, Sundari.
07:21Well, I guess it is time to recite the mantra.
07:25Jai Kalima.
07:26Jai Kalima.
07:27Jai Kalima.
07:28Jai Kalima.
07:29And so, I recited the mantra over and over again.
07:33The minutes turned into hours and still I pressed on.
07:39Until…
07:40Jai Kalima.
07:41Jai Kalima.
07:50Oh!
07:52Oh, sorry!
08:18Oh, no!
08:20Oh, no!
08:23Oh, no!
08:24Oh, no!
08:26Oh, no!
08:26Oh, no!
08:26Oh, no!
08:27Huh?
08:29You have recited my sacred mantra.
08:34I am pleased.
08:45How dare you laugh at my terrifying form!
08:49Goddess, please forgive me for laughing at you.
08:53I am a devotee, but still, I am ignorant child.
08:57When I saw your form, I became curious about something.
09:02Unable to suppress my laughter, I burst out.
09:06Curious?
09:07About what, boy?
09:09Goddess, I have one head.
09:12And when I get a cold,
09:13both my hands ache from squeezing and wiping my single nose.
09:19Imagining how you must suffer with a thousand heads and noses, I laughed.
09:25It certainly would be funny if my four hands were to battle with my thousand noses.
09:30I like you, boy.
09:32You're fearless and outspoken.
09:34I will offer you a choice between two of my most priced gifts.
09:40Son, have a look at these two bowls in the golden bowl.
09:45There is milk in the silver one.
09:48Curd!
09:49If you drink the milk, you shall become highly educated, but will live simply.
09:56If you drink the curd, you will become wealthy, but will become spiritually low in character.
10:03Oh, mother, how can I choose if you keep the bowls in your hands?
10:08If you hand them to me, I shall ask for what appears to be tasty.
10:13Please give me the bowls.
10:15Please?
10:17Decide!
10:26Yeah!
10:30How dare you!
10:34How dare you!
10:45How dare you!
10:48How dare you!
10:50A healthy endurance!
10:51Oh, friendly and嘉!
11:11How dare you!कlichen
