उत्तर
Tenali Raman put his hands on a huge bundle next to him and pretended that it contained the scriptures 'tila-kashtamahisha-bandhana' and he wanted to discuss its merits. He was in fact, only mentioning what the bundle contained. However, the Pundit thought he was referring to some scriptures that he had never even heard of, and hence could not discuss its merits. He immediately gave up. Thus, Tenali Raman outwitted him.
