Story

Seeing Ashtavakra crooked body and strange tricks from eight places, the whole gathering started laughing. Ashtavakra laughed more loudly than the members seeing this scene.
Janak asked, 'Everyone laughs, I can understand that, but son, tell me the reason for your laugh?
Ashtavakra said, 'I am laughing because the truth is being decided in the meeting of these Chamars, surprise! What are these Chamars doing here?

There was silence in the entire assembly. All were speechless. King Janak himself was shocked too. He asked very moderately, 'Chamar !!! What do you mean?

Ashtavrak said, 'It is a simple matter. They only see the skin, I do not see. These are the chamar. Are the connoisseurs of the skin. He does not see a simple man like me, he sees my cross-legged body. Rajan, does the sky get crooked due to the crooked temple? Does the sky explode when the pitcher breaks? The sky is formless. My body is crooked but I am not. Look at this which is inside. Those who laugh when I look at my body, what are they otherwise?

Hearing this, Janaka, the king of Mithila and Lord Rama's soul, was stunned. Janak felt guilty that all laughed well, but I too laughed seeing this child's body. It was the biggest event in King Janak's life. The country's biggest Tam-Jham. Sing the most beautiful. The most expensive diamond-jewels. The most learned Pandit and the news of this program in the whole world and everything is finished in just one stroke. Janaka was very sorry. The assembly was dissolved.
King Janak could not sleep at night. The next day when the emperor went out for a walk, he saw the same child playing Ashtavakra. He got down from his horse and fell at the feet of that child. Said- 'You broke my sleep. There is definitely something in you. Those who discuss enlightenment laugh at the body, how can they become knowledgeable. Lord, give me knowledge. '

Then King Janaka took initiation from that child and took knowledge of knowledge.
