In plain words
At that same time envy was growing among the Aṣṭadiggajas at the court. At such a time, to test the learning of these scholars, the king put a question: “Scholars! Whoever answers my question today, to him I will give first place among the Aṣṭadiggajas. You must answer the question by tomorrow. You must make a word of five syllables. Each syllable must be in a different language. The five syllables must have the same meaning. The five syllables together must make one word. Bring me the answer to this tomorrow,” he commanded. Everyone went on thinking about it. They could not sleep at night. That night Tenāli Rāmakṛṣṇa lay down in the cowshed of his brother-in-law's house. Though the mosquitoes were biting in the cowshed, he lay there thinking. He was thinking, wholly absorbed in it. That night a cow gave birth. Knocking on the door, ‘Bāvā! The cow is calving!’ Tenāli Rāmakṛṣṇa called. From inside, his brother-in-law, ‘Which cow is it, bāvā?’ asked. Keeping that very phrase in mind, Tenāli Rāmakṛṣṇa stepped into the court the next day. In the assembly Kṛṣṇadevarāya asked the Aṣṭadiggajas, ‘Have you put the word together?’ They all answered, ‘No.’ But Tenāli Rāmakṛṣṇa said, ‘Ready.’ When asked what the word was, he said, ‘Ē āvu rā bāvā.’ ‘What is its inner meaning?’ asked the king. ‘Ē’ in Marāṭhī means ‘come’, ‘āvu’ in Hindī means ‘come’, ‘rā’ in Telugu means ‘come’, ‘bā’ in Kannaḍa means ‘come’, and ‘vā’ in Tamil means ‘come’. So the five syllables came together as one word, and with one meaning. If you ask how he found it: he always thought with complete absorption. That is concentration. He would think over every word with concentration. That concentration comes only with feelings of God. Concentration needs divinity. Through divinity everything falls into place. Without the power of God, the power of the intellect does not work at all. Arjuna too argued a great deal with the power of his intellect.
