Nanukaka told the minister’s secretary that I am the hereditary pandit of a princely state Ninnore. After that Nanukaka gave the address of the author’s house and came to the author’s house. The next day, in the morning, the writer was drinking tea, when the minister’s car came to a halt at the writer’s door.
नानुकाका ने मंत्री के सेकरेटरी से कहा कि मैं नाइनौर के राज्य के अनुवंशिक पूरोहित (ज्योतिष) हुँ। उसके बाद नानुकाका लेखक के घर का पता दे दिया और लेखक के घर आ गए। अगले दिन, सुबह में लेखक चाय ही पी रहे थे, कि इतने में मंत्री की गाड़ी लेखक के दरवाजे पर आकर खड़ी हो जाती है।
