T0122. Birbal and the Wax-Prince

Akbar mocks Hindu gods; Birbal realizes he is just testing him. Akbar mocks Krishna for doing all the work himself in helping devotees. Birbal orders wax double of Akbar's grandson, and arranges to have gardener drop it into pond. Akbar jumps in pond to rescue him. "Why did you do it yourself?" asks Birbal. "My grandson is too precious," Akbar says. And so Krishna feels towards his devotees explains Birbal.
