06:10the honor is mine sir nigel take my shawl
06:18and my shawl
06:23no no thank you tingari i'll never forget the time when raman saved the kingdom
06:31from the evil northern emperor and his angry armies haha you mean when the northern emperor
06:40challenged me to rewrite the epic story the mahabharata in one week you wouldn't believe
06:47what raman did to fool that rascal here's what happened my court was in a panic
06:57all right men stand at attention remember after tanali raman's inevitable failure it will be up to you
07:06to defend your majesty's kingdom to the last man you must give me and the king enough time to make
07:15a full
07:15retreat from the kingdom with all of the royal treasure we can carry do you understand
07:23do you understand that's guru how dare you consider a retreat we thought the northern emperor was going to attack
07:31at any minute but raman promised me that he could save the day
07:38it all ended in the northern emperor's tent on the edge of my vast empire
07:46your majesty your majesty your majesty the messenger returns with the palanquin
07:52surely not the mahabharata
08:03king of kings after much toil i have written the great epic honoring and of course featuring yourself
08:20now then messenger i grow curious read me the first chapter of this mahabharata of course
08:29but may i humbly ask that you clarify some doubts i have about the story continue i have portrayed you
08:39as
08:39as a great dharma raja known for his just mind i have described her highness your wife as draupati
08:56draupati has five husbands in the epic
09:04oh yeah five husbands so unable to decide who the other four husbands should be i left some gaps in
09:15the book perhaps you could
09:17five husbands my wife has yes five husbands now if you could decide i could finish the book in no
09:29time
09:29what say you oh king
09:35shocked by the humiliation of thanali's words the emperor sat frozen like some terrible statue while his court fell into
09:45chaos
09:47silence do you not see my hand i demand silence i want this epic burn burn do you hear
09:58silence
09:59silence
09:59silence
10:07undone by his own foolish pride the emperor returned home in disgrace and tenale returned to the palace for some
10:16much needed rest
10:19By Jove, Raman! What a brilliant plan!
10:23You are certainly more than just a jester.
10:26My hat goes off to you.
