कनकधारा स्तोत्र क्या है?
Kanakdhara stotra kya hai?
Gold dhara kyon nahi hai?
…
Once there was a king.
He loved gold.
He prayed and prayed, and finally got one magic wish.
He wished for Gold.
So much gold, that whatever he touches should turn to Gold!
.
His wish was granted.
.
He touched his chair, it turned to gold.
The door he touched turned to gold.
He was thrilled!
He sat down for lunch, all excited.
Guess what?
The moment he touched his food, it turned to gold.
.
No matter how much he loved gold, now there was no food for him to eat. Only gold.
He weny hungry.
.
Just then, little girl came running to hug him.
Before he could stop her, she hugged him,
and she completely turned into gold.
A lifeless, golden statue.
.
The king was devastated.
.
He realised his mistake.
Can you remember the name of the king?
****
