WEIGHT OF ELEPHANT

Balance weighs objects and fixes the mass in terms of weights; but it has limitations. Immensity defies its capacity. However broad the scale, or sturdy the beam, it can't hold huge and gargantuan materials in its pans. Should we then dispense them without weighing and sit in despair ad infinitum? Ingenuity seeks for means and succeeds, and this does not pursue the Touch-me-not policy, i.e. only academicians are capable of cutting the Gordian Knot. It grows in congenial climate, be it on the soil, or under water, why, sometimes without soil too, it flourishes. Man-made castes and classes it hate. So an angler, who weighs the elephant in his characteristic way wins gold to the weight of elephant, besides the hand of princess. Observe it how...


"What's the weight of royal elephant and how to weigh to last gram? 
As I want to give my darling gold equal to its weight on her wedding 
I desre enlightenment from you." Ranadhir the famous king of Sangram 
Posed the question in his durbar on the eva of the princess' wedding.

Resting the chin on his palm, the Premier thought deep, but couldn't? 
Tapping the back of his pate, the Senani tried best, but couldn't ? 
Gazing at the ceiling, the Treasurer counted the beams, but couldn't 
Scratching the temples, the young prince brooded longer, but couldn't?
