Its not full but i wanted to share it.
He opened the door, but just a little, and shouted, "Holy Mother, unless you promise to grant my wish, I will not open the dorr."
Kali became very angry indeed, but Raman was obstinate. After some arguments the Goddess had to yield. Then he opened the door. She entered.
Though she had ten heads, she was beautiful to look at. But Raman began to laugh as soon as he saw her. He could not control his laughter. He laughed and laughed and laughed till tears ran down his cheeks and his little tuft unfastened.
Goddess Kali was dumbstruck by this behaviour. She asked him angrily, "Why are you laughing like a fool?"
Tenali Raman could not answer her. He was still laughing. This annoyed her more but she was helpless. She waited patiently.
After a long time Raman recovered and replied, "Oh Goddess, forgive me. You are the most beautiful Mother i have seen in my life. But i am laughing because some foolish thought occurred to me when i looked at you".
The Goddess became furious and wanted to know what it was. Tenali Raman brought his plams together humbly and replied, "Oh Mother, when i get a cold i find it difficult to blow the one nose i have. I was wondering how you manage with the ten noses you have, when you catch the cold."saying this he laughed all the more.
The goddess could not help laughing too, when she heard him. It was the first time thatt she had laughed at herself.She was pleased with the young man and offered him a boon.


rest story i don't remember but it was really funny. 😆

probs is that i don't remember the full story, it was like mahkaali giving him boon, she gave him two bowls of ghee and honey or curd and honey, can't remember that...and then he drinks both and thus he could make people laugh and acquire wealth. it was something like that.

I recall reading this in the ACK. The story continued...

Mahakali offered him 2 sweets - one had the fruit of wealth/power (I forget which), and other that of knowledge. She asked him to pick any one. But before she could do anything, Mr Tenali just grabbed both and ate them 🤣 managing to anger her again. So she gave a mixed blessing and curse - that he'd have them both, but he'd also have plenty of enemies who'd always be conspiring against him 😈👏

I loved this story - glad to know Mahakali has a sense of humor, and can also have a Machiavellian streak about her 😈

Actually, the justification he gave her for eating both was that either one (knowledge) was worthless w/o the other.

This story was covered in Tenalirama's cartoon film. It's a good story. In that they show him running away after giving his excuse for laughing.
