अर्थMeaning
Then the king invited him to stay and accept his hospitality. But the boy, not caring for hospitality, ran away, went back to his father, and said: 'Thus then you called me formerly well-instructed!' The father said: 'What then, you sage?' The son replied: 'That fellow of a Râganya asked me five questions, and I did not know one of them.' 'What were they?' said the father. 'These were they,' the son replied, mentioning the different heads.

तब राजा ने उसे ठहरने का निमन्त्रण दिया। कुमार ने अतिथि-सत्कार की परवाह न करके भाग गया। वह पिता के पास आया और कहा, 'आपने पहले मुझसे कहा था कि मैं पढ़ाया हुआ हूँ।' (पिता ने कहा,) 'क्या हुआ, सुमेध?' (पुत्र ने कहा,) 'उस राजन् यबन्धु (क्षत्रिय) ने मुझसे पाँच प्रश्न पूछे, और मैं एक भी नहीं जानता था।' (पिता ने कहा,) 'वे कौन-से थे?' उसने उनके सिरे गिना दिए।
