Answer. I was not satisfied with the answers of wise men. I visited the hermit nearby my kingdom in the forest. I have heard about the hermit that he was wise enough to answer my three questions. I reached the hermit in the ordinary outfits so that the hermit could not recognize me. The king was sitting in his hut. He asked me about my problems and assured me he would solve my problems. Suddenly a beggar came there who was very hungry and injured with his leg. He asked for help and something to eat. The hermit washed his wound, treated him well, and gave him some of his food. I saw that incident practically with my own eyes and my answers to the questions.

I also explained that we all have the answers to our questions that lie within us. We should understand our questions thoroughly and try to get the answers on our own.
