Raja Harishchandra was a very big demon. His particular point was that when he went ahead to donate his hands, his eyes would have bowed down.
This thing seemed strange to everyone how these kings are charitable. They also offer donations and they also get shamed.
When this matter reached Tulsidasji, he sent the four lines to the king in which he wrote
ऐसी देनी देन जु
कित सीखे हो सेन।
ज्यों ज्यों कर ऊँचौ करौ
त्यों त्यों नीचे नैन।।
It meant that from where did you get such a donation from the king? As your hands rise up, why are your eyes bowing down to your eyes?
The answer that was answered in response to the king was so strange that the king who became the king was convinced.
No one has given such a lovely answer to anyone.
King wrote in reply -
देनहार कोई और है
भेजत जो दिन रैन।
लोग भरम हम पर करैं
तासौं नीचे नैन।।

I mean, someone who gives it is the owner. He is a divine, he is sending day and night. But people think that I am giving the King is giving. By thinking of this I am shamed and my eyes bow down.
He does it and he does it only, why do you keep it sweet?
वो ही करता और वो ही करवाता है,फिर भी बंदे तू इतना इतराता है..!
एक साँस भी नही है तेरे बस की,वो ही सुलाता और वो ही जगाता है..!
