Krishnadeva Raya loved hunting and used to escape to go hunting even from his studies. One day, when Krishnadeva Raya went hunting, he and some of his courtiers went so fast that they left the others behind. As the evening fell, they found that they had lost their way and now did not know where to go. At last, they came to a junction of three roads. In the meantime, they saw a young boy coming along one road. The boy was summoned and Krishnadeva Raya asked him, “Hey young boy! Which road goes to Agra?” The boy smiled and spoke, “Your Highness, everybody knows that a road cannot move, so how these roads can go to Agra or anywhere else?” The king laughed at this and said, “Yes, you are right.” The king asked again, “What is your name, young boy?” “Mahesh Das,” the boy replied and asked the king, “And who are you, Your Highness? What is your name?” The king took out his ring and gave it to the boy. That was how king Krishnadeva Raya met the future Tenali.
