Question -

1. What steps did he take to save himself?
2. Did his plan work? How?



Answer -

  1. Tansen was worried and afraid after being asked to sing Raga Deepak. He requested the king to allow him some time to prepare for it. In the meantime, he thought of a brilliant idea. He taught Raga Megh to his daughter, Saraswati, and her friend, Rupvati for two weeks. He told them that soon after he completes singing Raga Deepak, they should start singing Raga Megh to bring rain and appease the effect of the heat.
  2. Yes, Tansen’s plan worked perfectly. When he sang Raga Deepak, the surroundings became warm – the leaves of trees dried up, birds fell dead, water of rivers began to boil, people were terrified that flames shot up out of nowhere and lighted the lamps. Just then, Saraswati and Rupvati began to sing Raga Megh, the sky filled with dark clouds and the rain came down suddenly and this saved Tansen’s life and the surroundings from more damage.
