Once upon a lime, there lived a Rajput king at Malwa. His kingdom was small, quiet and peaceful. There were no major battles or political problems. So his one aim in life was to make his people happy. One year there was a severe drought. The fields were dry and cracked and the trees were bare. There were no flowers and a fruit in the land, or crops of any kind. The king was worried. How was he to save the people from famine? He walked to the river Narmada, knelt down and prayed, 'O Sacred Narmada, bless us with rain. Save my people from the famine, and I shall offer you my first-born child'. Before long, the sky was overcast with clouds and it rained heavily. The wet earth was ploughed seeds were sown and a few months later a bumper crop was harvested. The people rejoiced. Which statement shows that the Raj put king loved his people?
