Sekkizhar's presence of mind

Me and sekkizhar having a same thought about literature how means,  let me tell an interesting historical story about sekkizhar. Once the king of chola called his chief minister and asked three questions

1. Which is bigger than mountain
2. Which is bigger than sea
3. which is bigger than the world. 

But his chief minister doesn't know the answer  As per rule sekkizhar may create a poem and can answer through that poem. But he didn't. Instead he made a great solution. He answered those three questions using thirukkural.  

1st question answer.  
                In his station, all unswerving, if man self subdue, Greater he than mountain proudly rising to the view..                   -G U POPE TRANSLATION 
2nd question answer.  
            Kindness, shown by those who weigh not what the returns may be; When you ponder right its merit, 'Tis Vaster than the sea. 
3rd question answer.
          A favour conferred in the time of need, though it be small (in itself), is (in value) much larger than the world. 

    See what a great presence of mind. Now it is time to convey how me and sekkizhar sailing in the same boat as i said at first.
