There were a couple living in mountains in a small tribe. The brave husband was tribal king and loved by all. Wife was beautiful and loyal who had happily left comforts of rich father to live with her husband. They gave birth to Muruga. Muruga was sent on his quest for learning and adventure. The couples later gave birth to a healthy child but with huge facial disfigurement with an elongated nose that looked like elephant trunk, they called him Ekdanta. The child was pampered since birth, feasting on sweets and rich delicacies. With no one to play he resorted to 'studying and eating' while guarding his mother. He ate enough to gain weight and studied every literature available to him. He grew as a friend, philosopher and guide to people around him. Many scholars from far land began to counsel him and take his help. Then occur the great drought. Rivers dried up, society began to collapse and laws of land were lost. People suffered for 14 years and then it rained. Slowly agriculture begin to bloom and lets just say things were back to normal.
Mr V V, a scholar realized they had lost some precious literature during great drought, he picked mammoth task of compiling all the literature to save history from any future disaster. Ekdanta who was
accredited young scholar agreed to assist Mr VV.  Mr VV narrated the greatest epic Mahabharata for him to jaunt down.
