What did the sage ask Rama Natha to do to make the magic potion?
The sage asked Rama Natha to plant a banana plant and water it regularly with his hands.
During winter, he had to collect the morning dew from the leaves and store it in a bottle. When he collected five litres of dew, he was to bring it to the sage, who would chant magic words to turn it into the magic potion.
Rama Natha could plant as many banana plants as he wanted, but he had to look after them himself and collect the dew with his own hands.
