KARIKALAN AND THE TIME MACHINE—CHAPTER 89
“Ok, Manikkam,” said the Supter Star, “Let’s come to the boy, Manikkam once more. What is the position of his father? You say you read his mind and…”
“I think I have already told you, sir,” Manikkam said, “If not let me tell you now. Manikkam, the boy’s father is in charge of the Royal Kitchen. So he has some influence among the ministers and persons close to them. This also rubs the wound of Kumanan with salt. He wants to establish himself as a minister in charge of the Propagation of Sanskrit. But the King Karikalan is not that much interested in it. While he is a past master of the Language and the Vedas and Vedantas, he does not want to thrust the language on his people. He wants Sanskrit to find a foothold in his country in the natural course of time. He also has to balance the interests of the Samanar monks and the monks belonging to the Buddhism.”
“Ok, let’s come to the Time Machine once again!” the Super Star brought an end to the conversation on Manikkam, the boy.
