Write down in your notebook two points for the following. How do you know?
the king was humble.
उत्तर
We come to know that the king was humbled by the fact that he did not mind doing ordinary work such as digging. He did not use his authority as king to force the hermit to answer his questions.
Instead, he requested the hermit politely and was ready to go away if the hermit refused to answer his questions.

When the king arrived, the hermit was digging the ground in front of his hut. He greeted the king but went on digging. The hermit was frail and weak, and each time he struck the ground with the spade and turned over a little earth, he breathed heavily. The king went up to him and said, “I have come to you, wise hermit, to ask you to answer three questions - How can I learn to do the right thing at the right time? Who are the people I most need, and to whom should I, therefore, pay most attention? And what affairs are the most important and need my first attention?” The hermit listened to the king but said nothing. He just spat on his hand and resumed digging. The king watched in silence for a while. Then, feeling sorry for the hermit, he said, “You are tired, let me take the spade and work awhile for you.” The hermit silently handed over the spade and sat down on the ground. When he had dug two beds, the king stopped and repeated his questions. |
