Not only did Shashi ignore his parents’
                   Shashi, you should be humble,                  advice on ruling the kingdom but also failed
                   respectful, understand your
                   subjects and make all decisions                to follow the rules of using the stepwell.
                   keeping their welfare in mind.
                   Only then can you succeed and
                   become a great ruler.

             care for his parents’ words.                                  born? You are the ruler now!
                                                                           You can do what you want.


                Hmm… Maybe they are right. I’ll prove
                to my father that there’s nothing special
                about that old fool’s rules!
