Many intellectuals tried their best to beat her. But they couldn't succeed.
One day, a firewood vendor was
shouting outside her house. Getting irritated by his sound, she offered to buy
the load, for which the vendor demanded a handful grain.
She offered him a handful of grain. But the vendor said, "I need a handful grain, Madam. Have you understood me?". Vidyullatha angrily yelled at the vendor, "I am the most learned lady. I can understand what you ask."
The vendor said that she should
pay him a thousand coins and wipe the hoarding on the wall if she couldn't pay
back the price he asked. That led them to a heated argument. They both decided
to go to court.

The vendor explained that he
wanted one grain that filled the hand and not a handful of grains. The lady
stood speechless and compelled to pay him the coin and remove the hoarding from
her wall.
The witty vendor was none other
than Tenali Raman. He disguised himself as a vendor to teach Vidyullatha a
lesson.
