Once
a Braahman named Sevaaraam came to Birbal for his help. He told him that his
father was a very good Pandit and all people use to call him Pandit Jee. Since he
cannot do all those things, nobody calls him Pandit Jee. Although he was very
much contented with his work, life, income but he had this wish that all people
should call him Pandit Jee. Birbal said it was not difficult at all, but he had
to follow his advice word by word. Pandit agreed.
Birbal
said, "Whenever somebody calls you Pandit Jee, you should be very angry
and shout at him loudly, that is all." Pandit agreed. Next day Birbal went
to the locality where that Pandit used to live. There he talked to the
children. He came to know that children didn't like him because he used to
scold them. So he told them if you call that man "Pandit Jee, Pandit
Jee" he will get irritated, and you could take your revenge. Children were
very happy.
From
next day the children started calling him "Pandit Jee", "Pandit
Jee"; and the Braahman started to shout at them. After some time Sevaaraam
got tired of shouting but the children and other people kept calling him Pandit
Jee. So the game was over, and the name "Pandit Jee" stuck to
Sevaaram.
