Emerging
furious, the Chettiar howled that thousands worth of glassware
Was smashed by his kicking door against which he kept relics old and
fair
And dragged Naidu, the culprit to the court of Ramanna and demanding
His glassware given back as it was before and enacted a mock
drama-crying.
Elated
at the success of his scheme, Ramanna asked the accuser accused
His reply, and said on that only depends return of elephant by the
accused Finding him mute he said that the dead beast was dead, and
with its claim Likewise the broken ware was broken, and was equal to
the beast, no claim
The
court hall was reverberated with the hailing of verdict as the only
best
And Ramana's shrewd brain and low wishper at last set the strife at
rest.
