    There is riddle with the name of विराट
    विराटनगरे रम्ये कीचकादुपकीचकम्॥
    अत्र क्रियापदं वक्तुर्हैमं दास्यामि कंकणम्॥
    Apparent first reading of the first line would mean "In the city of विराट from a bamboo towards another bamboo" and the second line means I will give a golden bangle to any body who can tell me the verb in the above sentence.
    I have heard this samasya when I was a student of Sanskrit.


    The answer is this -


    वि: आट नगरे रम्ये
    कीचकात् उपकीचकम् /


    वि: = bird
    आट = roamed about =flew
    नगरे रम्ये = in the beutiful town
    कीचकात् = from one bambo
    उपकीचकम् = to another bamboo
