Coup On Arts – 14 [Six Guests From Two Saints]

Bhatti rushed towards them immediately. He prayed “Oh! Saints, today there is a ceremony in my house. Please come to have lunch. Do come.” The saints accepted his invitation. He brought them to palace in the fort and introduced to Vikramaditya. By that time, Vikramaditya rethought about the issue and sensed something wrong somewhere, because Bhatti was not such kind of immoral man to enjoy other’s wife. By watching guests, with Bhatti, he could thought “I should follow Bhatti activities. Though I’m not able to understand, what is happening, let me wait and see. I have confidence on Bhatti.”

He received the guests with cardiology and treating them as a host. Bhatti went into the kitchen and asked Pravala Valli “Sister-in-law. You are like my mother. I want to know, that how much rice you are cooking for us every day.”

She said “Three forth of Padi.”Padi means 1 ½ kg, in ancient measurement. He said “Well mother! Today you cook 2 ½ Padi of rice, dal and other curries in relevant proportion. Prepare nice lunch.”

She said “Okay.”

Bhatti prepared 10 leaf plates to take lunch. He arranged the leaf plates in a room and kept water tumblers. At the lunch time he asked Pravala Valli to serve all the dishes in all 10 plates. He asked to sit two saint guests in front of two plates. They sat, he asked Vikramaditya to occupy a seat, he done so. Bhatti sat in front of another plate. He asked Pravala valli to occupy a seat. She had done so. Five more vacant places were there. Everybody was watching Bhatti with curiosity. Bhatti said with saints “Fathers! You are saints. You know all the Dharma. While we take food, we should not make our co fellows to fast. So please be kind to me. You please allow your wives whom you hide in your hair knots.”

The saints were shocked in beginning. They thought, “This man might know our secret. No alternative to us.” They chatted magic word and allowed the women to sit in front of two more plates.

Bhatti said with the wives of the saints “Mothers! You know that it is not right to take food by keeping our co-members on fasting. Please be kind to me. You please release your lovers whom you hidden in your blouses.”

They frightened first, later thought “We have no alternative. This man had declared our secrecy.” They chatted magic word and allowed the men to sit in front of two more plates. One more plate was vacant. Everybody was with anxiety; Bhatti turned towards Pravala Valli and said, “Mother! Same Dharma with you, you please call your lover whom you hidden inside the rooms to take lunch.”

With shock, she called the washer-man to have lunch. All of they had lunch. Later the saints said, “We are saints. We have magic powers to travel in air etc but we didn’t over come arishadwargas. We thought that our wives are sincere. Now we are leaving them and we want to concentrate on devotion. Let them marry their lovers and lead fresh life.”

Bhatti said “Brother Vikramaditya. What you decide for Pravalla Valli?”

Vikramaditya said, “Brother Bhatti, I didn’t marry Pravalla Valli by loving her. We wanted to test her talent in doing prostitution. We tested her. No doubt, she is talented. We must appreciate her regarding that. Let her marry this washer-man.”

Every body agreed. The saints’ wives had married their lovers; Pravala Valli had married washer man. Bhatti and Vikramaditya made the washer man as the king of that fort, and the lovers of the saint’s wives as ministers to him. They made the people of Kalakanta puram, the previous kingdom of Kala Dharma to pay the taxes to the king.

The saints blessed them all and went by air. Bhatti and vikramaditya returned Ujjain as their period of tour was completed.

That’s the entire story.

In this story, though the talent in sex is not described, the fabrication of the story shows the maturity level regarding sex in villagers. This we can say because this story is a folk story.
