5. KING NANDA AND VARARUCHI

 

Once upon a time, there lived a king, by the name of Nanda. He was very brave. His fame spread far and wide. Many kings of the neighbouring kingdom bowed before him.

 

The king had a minister called Vararuchi. He was an expert in politics and a scholar of Sanskrit.

 

Once Vararuchi’s wife became very angry with her husband. As Vararuchi loved his wife very much, he said to her, “Darling, what is it that makes you so angry? I’m ready do anything to make you happy.”
