Once Krishnadeva Raya had a wonderful dream.
He dreamt of a beautiful palace made of glittering stones which floated in the
air. The palace had everything that one could ever wish for. It could be lit up
with a thousand lights or made to disappear into the darkness by merely wishing
so. The palace glistened and glowed and whoever entered the palace felt
themselves in heaven.
But suddenly the dream ended and the palace
vanished. The king woke up with a start. The image of the palace was stuck in
his mind. He could not forget the dream palace and one day, he summoned all his
courtiers and told them about his dream.
Then the King then made a public announcement
saying, “If someone can make such a palace for me, I will give a hundred
thousand gold coins!”
