Another minister rose and gave his idea," Sir, If no one has any objection, why can't we choose Indrajeet or Meghvahan? Both are young and strong at body and power. Wit and valour etc.are matchless in them. Why can't we choose one of them ?"
An old minister stood up noddingly and said humbly, "Sir, It is an useless talk. We are thinking of them only whom we had seen... yet the world is far and wide. A Frog living in the pond its whole life never knows the world which exists outside. In my opinion, please send men all over and in every direction and let us wait.... Marrying Indrajeet means making enimity with Meghavahan and the same is with Meghavahana."
The oldminister's logical answer won the point. All the other ideas were overruled and so they went in a kiss off dust bin. All the ministers were dispersed.
