One day, King Akbar called Birbal and said,
“Birbal! It is written in your books that when Lord Vishnu found his devotee
elephant in pain, he himself rushed to help him. I can’t understand the
reason behind it. He had so many servants, then why did he take the trouble to
go himself?”
Birbal said, “Your Majesty, I understood your
question. I will answer this question in a few days later.”
Within a couple of days, Birbal developed intimacy
with the royal servant who was commissioned with the job of taking Akbar’s
grandson for a walk.
