When Tenali Rama introduced his 'special' paddy seeds, the courtiers reacted with sarcasm and disbelief.
A murmur swept through the room. One courtier whispered loudly, 'I wonder if these are magic seeds! Next, he'll claim they grow without water.' Another muttered, 'Perhaps he found them on the moon!' Snickers rippled through the court.
The king himself was unimpressed and frowned, calling the claim 'absurd' and noting that such cultivation would need special conditions and could cause farmers to suffer if something went wrong.
