Who are eligible ?

Once King Indraverma was going through forest . King is a good administrator and also he is encouraging musicians in his kingdom . He , himself is a good vocalist . He also encourages other vocalists who come to his kingdom.

Indraverma had lost his way in the forest. As he was wandering , he heard a voice . He went in that direction . The sound is of some one singing .

Finally , Indraverma spotted a sage who was singing . Indraverma was mesmerized  by the music. King waited till sage finishes his music.

After that , he met the sage and urged him to come to his court and let others too , can enjoy his music. Sage didn't agree .

But Indraverma continued pressurising sage. Finally , sage agreed to come to Indraverma's court . But he put a strange condition.

The condition was that no one must show their appreciation to music by tilting head or clapping hands ! If someone is caught doing that , he must be beheaded ! King agreed.

King announced about the orchestra of sage in packed court . He also said about the condition. Whole court fell silent .

Slowly , half of the court was emptied . People gave different reasons for their departure . now , only  half of court was present .

finally sage arrived and started his singing. The music was too good . Whole court was mesmerised by the music . Even the King was so happy that he was seen tilting his head in appreciation .

When the orchestra was over , King apologised near the sage for his fault . He said he is ready to face the punishment .

Sage smiled and said " I wanted to give the orchestra only infront of true listeners . Hence , I put that strange condition . I am satisfied that you all are true listeners as you people had listened to music knowing the condition "

King rewarded the sage for his music .
