Once, a king, disguised in different attire, was traveling and reached the outskirts of a village. A boy's ordinary words in various contexts had a great impact on the king. Even at night, while sleeping, the king kept repeating those words. That night, the cunning minister named Sarvadeshika came to steal money from the royal treasury. In his sleep, the king uttered the same words: ‘Ah! What a great sound’, ‘Silence is continuous’, ‘A sound without an escape’, ‘You are the cause, Sarvadeshika’. Thinking that the king was aware of the whole situation, the minister held the king's feet and begged for forgiveness. The ordinary words of a village boy turned out to be beneficial for the entire country.
