[www.keralites.net] Story of Great Indian Poet' Marriage - Kalidas and Vidyotma

 

Story of Great Indian Poet' Marriage - Kalidas and Vidyotma
 
 
There was a king who had a very learned daughter Vidyotma, in her knowledge she surpassed all the scholars of the kingdom. She declared she would only marry the person who would defeat her in a battle of wits. The scholars of the kingdom decided to take their revenge from the princess by marrying her to a fool. They went looking, and in the forest saw a man sitting on a tree who was cutting the branch he was sitting on. On seeing this, they decided they had found their man, and they would marry him to the princess, and they told him "Come with us, we will take you to the palace and you will be given good food to eat, but do not say a word when you are there, only use hand gestures."

So he went and the scholars said to the king - "Maharaj (Your Majesty), we have chanced upon a great scholar who would like to challenge your daughter, but he won't speak anything". The fool was presented before the princess. The princess Vidyotma showed him one finger of her right hand, the fool thought she intended to blind him in one eye. He showed up two fingers signaling that if she would blind him in one eye, he would blind her in both eyes. Next the princess showed the open palm of her hand, now the fool took this to mean she would slap him. He showed a fist to signal he would box her in return. 

The scholars who were accompanying the fool explained the actions this way. The princess's one finger means there is only one God Almighty, but the scholar means that there is one God Almighty, but there is also the human soul (which as per Hindus is considered as a part of God). Next the five fingers of the princess's palm signify the five human senses, but according to the scholar the fist means when the five senses are kept under control one can attain greatness. The princess conceded defeat and was married to him. 

After the marriage when Vidyotma discovered her husband had no knowledge and was in fact a big fool, she insulted him and left him. At this the fool was very upset and he decided he would attain wisdom. The scholars who had got him there all left him alone. It is said that he went to the temple of Garhkalika in Ujjain and prayed to the goddess for the gift of knowledge. He prayed and offered to the goddess his tongue as sacrifice and when was about to cut it off with a sword the goddess appeared before him and blessed him. Because of being blessed by the goddess, words of wisdom started flowing through his mouth and he began to write poetry and prose in Sanskrit language. He then created works like 'Shakuntala' and 'Meghdoot' and the beauty of his expression made him very renowned.
