How did the sage make Rama Natha believe that there is no magic potion?

Correct Answer

The sage made Rama Natha believe there is no magic potion by showing him the actual results of his hard work.

When the dew did not turn the copper vessel into gold, Rama Natha was angry.

Then the sage called Madhumati, who brought a box full of gold coins. The sage explained that the wealth came from selling bananas in the market, not from magic.

He revealed that hard work on the plantation created this wealth, proving that there is no magic potion.
