Long ago, in the Vijayanagar kingdom, in a small village named Tenali, there lived a clever, good looking boy named Tenali Raman. He was a brilliant cunning boy.
One day,when he was walking through a street and admiring the greenary of his village, a saint came nearby .He greeted the saint by sweet words. The saint got impressed by the boy's sweet attitude and so he decided to teach the boy something and taught Tenali Rama a chant.
The saint the told Tenali Raman l " Every night, you go to Matha Kali temple and pray this chant million times".
Tenali Raman asked," What will I get , if I do so?"
The saint replied," Matha Kali will appear in front of you. "
Tenali Raman asked the saint," How can I identify her?"
The saint replied Tenali Rama,"She will have 1000 heads."
Tenali Raman was so astonished to hear this surprise answer... He asked the saint,"If she appears in front of me, what should I do?"
