        Uttanka’s Gurudakashina Summary in English<\/h3>\n

        \"Uttanka's<\/p>\n

        The story \u2018Uttanka\u2019s Gurudakshina\u2019 by Mrinalini Sambhai \u2018Exemplifies the courage and dedication of the boy Uttanka, to fulfill his gum\u2019s\u2019 wife\u2019s desire. Once upon a time in India, a boy named Uttanka was being taught in one of the forest hermitages of the wise men. After many years his masters taught him all they knew. One day he went to his master to request him to choose a gift that he may give as Guru Dakshina.<\/p>\n

        His ‘master told that he desired but he directed him to ask his wife if she desired anything. The gum\u2019s wife told him that she had long cherished a wish to wear the queen\u2019s ear-rings. She asked him to fetch the earrings. So that she could wear them on the festival day. Although Uttanka Was dismayed he nevertheless set out to seek the earrings from the king.<\/p>\n

        On his way through the forest, he met a man riding a huge bull. The man offered Uttanka a cup full of some liquid and urged him to drink it saying that it will help him on his way. Uttanka arrived at the king\u2019s palace and went directly to the king and told him about his gum\u2019s wives wish the kind king asked him to seek the queen\u2019s help. The queen willingly gave him the earrings but warned him that the jewels were also coveted by the serpent king and he might try to steal them. Uttanka thanked her and started for home.<\/p>\n

        That evening, as he was tired and weary he leaned against a tree for some rest. He had placed the earrings beside him. Suddenly, a man dressed in rags snatched the rings and ran into the forest. Uttanka ran after him but the man changed into a snake and wriggled into a hole in the ground. Uttanka was distressed, and could not figure how he could get inside the hole. At that time an old mail appeared and assured him of his help. No sooner the man said this, a huge thunderbolt struck and shook the earth.<\/p>\n

        Uttanka saw a big hole near him. He went inside the hole, to the serpent\u2019s kingdom. There he saw a man on a horse and bowed respectfully to him and asked him to grant him a favor, which would put the serpent king in Uttanka\u2019s power. The man asked Uttanka to blow into his horse. When Uttanka blew into the horse, flames shot from every hair of the horses\u2019 body and burnt the houses of the serpents. The serpents then begged Uttanka to save them. Uttanka told them that if the serpent king returned the earrings he would save them. The serpents then urged their king to return the Jewels. Later Uttanka returned to the hermitage, just in time to give the earnings to his guru\u2019s wife. She was happy and blessed him for his courage.<\/p>\n

        When Uttanka told his guru about his adventure, his master told him that the liquid he had drunk was ambrosia, which would give him eternal youth. The man who gave it was the god of rain and the horse was the god of fire. He blessed his disciple arid sent him out into the world to make a living.<\/p>\n
