Ring thief

Maharaja Krishna Deva Raya used to wear a precious gemstone ring. Whenever he was present in the court, his eyes often kept going to his beautiful ring. He used to mention his ring repeatedly with guests and ministers who arrived in the palace.

Once, King Krishna Deva Rai was sitting sadly on his throne. Only then did Tanaliram arrive. They asked the reason for the king's sadness. Then the king told that his favorite ring has been lost, and he is absolutely sure that he has stolen one of his twelve bodyguards.

Since the security cover of King Krishna Dev Rai was so tight that no thief or general person could not be approached near him.
Tenaliram immediately told Maharaj that-

I'll catch the ring thief very soon.

King Krishna Deva Rai was very pleased to hear this. They immediately called their bodyguards.

Tenaliram said, "You have made the King's ring one of the twelve bodyguards. But I will find it very easily. There is no need to be afraid of what is true, and a thief who is ready to suffer harsh punishment. "

Tenaliram continued to speak, "Come with me all, we all have to go to the temple of the black mother."

The king said, "These are doing Tenaliram, we have to find the thief to not see the temple!"

"Sir, be patient, soon you will know the thief." Tenaliram asked the king to have patience.

After reaching the temple, Tanaliram went to the priest and gave him some instructions. After this, he said to the bodyguards, "You all have to go to the temple and touch the feet of the idol of Mama Kali and come out immediately. By doing this, Mother Kali will tell me the name of that thief in a dream tonight.

Now all the bodyguards went to the temple and started touching the feet of the mother. As soon as a bodyguard exits by touching the feet, Tanaliram smiles his hand and puts it in a row. In a while all the bodyguards stood in a queue.

Maharaj said, "The thief's address will be taken tomorrow morning, till then what should they do?"

No, the chef has come to know the thief. The bodyguard standing in the seventh position is the thief.

As soon as he heard this, the bodyguard ran away, but the soldiers present there put him in jail, and put him in jail.

The king and everyone else was optimistic that when Taneliram saw the dream without knowing that the thief was the same.

Tenaliram quieted everyone's curiosity and said, "I told the priest that he had sprinkled sharp perfume on the feet of black mother. Because of which the fragrance came in the hands of anyone who touches the mother's feet. But when I was at the hands of the seventh bodyguard, she had no scent ... she did not touch the feet of Mother Kali's idol fearing to be caught. So it was proved that there was sin in his mind and that is the thief. "

King Krishna Dev Rai once again became convinced by the wisdom of Tenaliram. And honored them with gold currencies.
