Pandit SevaramThereby, Birbal came out with a solution: "Sevaram follow this advice of me, word for word. Your desire will be fulfilled." He whispered his advice to Sevaram and left the place. Birbal came to know that Sevaram never spared the pranks of his neighbouring children. He even scolded them without reason. The children entertained a grouse against the brahmin. Birbal went to them and told them that they could tease Sevaram by calling him Panditji and he left the place. Soon the children in the neighbourhood started repeatedly calling Sevaram "Panditji", "Panditji", "Panditji", thinking they were teasing him. The time had come that Sevaram stopped scolding the children. And the people around him started addressing him "Panditji". This is how, for every brahmin, whether he be a scholar or not, the title of Panditji has been stuck once for all. |
