RAMA : [With a naughty smile] Your Majesty, I heard some people
talking about this Sadhu. He comes from the Himalayas.
[With the gestures of a magician] He can produce coins,

ash and fruits from the air.

COURTIER 1 : Your Majesty, there is a long queue of devotees in front
of his tent every day. They offer him gold coins, clothes,

animals, grains, vegetables and fruits.

COURTIER 2 : He can cure illnesses by performing pujas. But you will
need to pay him well for that.

KRISHNADEVARAYA : [Thinking] I see. I want to know more about this Sadhu.
[To the courtiers] You can go now. I have to discuss
something with Rama.

COURTIERS 1 AND 2 : As you wish, Your Majesty.
