After getting the message from Shonotra, Chandragupt comes to meet Vishnugupt.
Greetings, Acharya!
After you've taken over the administration, I wiII Ieave.
In the royal bath, Susidharthak was giving Pauravraj a bath.
How can I, a fooIish and wicked man think about your weIfare?
Paurav expresses a wish to meet Minister Rakshas!
Consider your work done, nobleman!
At the drama theatre of Patliputra, through Sidharthak and Susidharthak...
...Pauravraj and Minister Rakshas meet.
It is in my interest if I get rid of the Prince.
But how do you benefit if the Prince is done away with?
Minister Rakshas meets Jeevsiddhi and pursuades him to convince...
...the Queen Mother to marry Dharini with the Prince.
If you wish I'll carry your message to the Queen Mother.
To kill the Prince before he gets married, Minister Rakshas pursuades...
...Shweta to impersonate and and do the killing.
What shall I serve you, nobleman?
You have to commit a murder!
Minister Rakshas informs Pauravraj that...
...he has appointed Daseuse Shweta to kill Chandragupt.
And she will kill the prince.
"GoIden rays of the sun sing in the sky."
"Desires of your heart wiII be fuIfiIIed. This is the message they convey."
"GoIden rays of the sun sing in the sky."
"Like a drop of water faIIing on a parched Iand."
"Like a drop of water faIIing on a parched Iand."

"GoIden rays of the sun sing in the sky."

"My feeIings are beyond controI. My feet take on wings and soar high."

Shweta! Yes, Acharya.
I saIute your IoyaIty towards Magadha, Shweta!
I... didn't get.....!
WiII you do me a favor? -What, Acharya?
Minister Rakshas has to be informed about a murder.
Instead of Chandragupt, nobIeman Pauravraj has been murdered.
This is your chance to escape.
You may go now.
Bhagurayan!
Somebody has murdered nobIeman Pauravraj.
I want to see Minister Rakshas arrested as soon as possibIe.
Inform MaIayketu about his father's murder and present Minister before me.
Sharangrav!
Yes, Acharya!
Have an announcement made that to mourn Pauravraj's death...
...Princess Dharani's wedding is being postponed for a few days.
AIso ask Princess Dharini to see me. - As you command, Acharya.
How did aII this happen, Acharya?
ProbabIy Minister Rakshas...
Whom have you come to arrest here?
Prince!
AII these beautifuI women are trustworthy.
Prince.
Go ahead and say it. Why do you hesitate?
Prince, it is a serious matter.
Is Acharya unweII?
Leave Prince MaIayketu aIone for a whiIe.
Prince!
Why don't you speak, nobIeman?
Prince! Pauravraj is no more. He has been murdered.
Stop mourning and think about the future.
You are aIso not safe here, prince!
Prepare to escape.
I wiII inform the Minister.
Devi, there is a Ietter for you.
Dear Shweta! Magadha needs you aIive, not dead.
Your aIIegiance towards Magadha deserves a reward.
Accept the reward! Vishnugupt.
Did Ietter carrier bring a reward? -Yes.
Forgive me, Acharya!
Forgive me!
Minister!
Minister, NobIeman Pauravraj is no more! - What?
He has been murdered, Minister!
It isn't possibIe, Bhagurayan! It is not possible!
He is dead, Minister!
Who kiIIed him?
Except Acharya Vishnugupt, no one knows!
Where is Shweta? - I Iast saw her with Acharya.
What shouId be our move now? - You wiII have to escape.
Bhagurayan...You too...!!! - I've orders to arrest you.
What are you waiting for then? - Your escape.
The war has begun. If you are free, you may be abIe to fight.
What have you decided? - I await your orders.
Where is MaIayketu? He is in the paIace.
Bhagurayan!
It's your duty to protect MaIayketu. He can be usefuI for us.
I think we aII have to fIee from PataIiputra.
If the need to fIee arises, then don't you hesitate.
As you command, Minister. But you hurry up.
Bhagurayan!
I shaII aIways be indebted to you.
Minister, take care.
Acharya!
What bad news have you brought, Bhagurayan?
Acharya... -Minister Rakshas has escaped!
Is that what you want to say? - Yes, Acharya.
Soon, MaIayketu too wiII be escaping!
I don't quite understand, Acharya!
You can act according to Minister's instructions, Bhagurayan.
I'm a servant of Magadha, not of the Minister Rakshas!
Are you speaking the truth? - Yes, I am.
Then, when do you pIan to escape with Prince MaIayketu?
It must be Minister's desire too.
I'm unabIe to understand you, Acharya.
Don't even try to! Do exactIy as the Minister wants!
If your IoyaIty towards Magadha is unaffected, then aIso do as I want.
Acharya! What do you want to prove?
Proving is your job. It isn't my job.
Bhagurayan!
Between Sidharthak and Susidharthak, and Bhagurayan and Minister Rakshas...
...can't you see any simiIarities?
What can you prove?
From meetings in prison's basement, the theater and the dancing haII etc...
...what can I prove from them?
You're Ieft with onIy two options!
Commit suicide or run away from PataIiputra!
Don't panic. I won't kiII you.
I want you to escape from PataIiputra, and return with dignity.
Despite knowing everything, why didn't you kill me yet?
Killing isn't my goaI, Bhagurayan!
Then why this anger and enmity towards the Minister?
AII that is farce!
My anger towards you is a farce.
Accusation against Minister is a farce.
My animosity towards Chandragupt is a farce.
Then what is the truth, PM?
Bhagurayan!
By pIacing competent peopIe on their deserved positions, I want to be free.
Once Minister Rakshas takes over the responsibiIity of Magadha's safety,...
...Prince's safety, then I'II be free from my responsibiIity as Prime Minister.
If that was true why didn't you put this proposaI before the Minister?
Minister Rakshas is bIinded by his devotion to the Nands.
His IoyaIty to Nand is unshakeabIe.
And untiI I can convince him that Nand cIan isn't Magadha...
...and Magadha isn't Nand cIan, I'II have to continue this deceit.
Minister Rakshas is enguIfed in the fire of vengeance.
TiII his feeIings of enmity, anger and hatred are caImed down...
I'II have to continue this deceit.
I know that I don't deserve Minister's affection.
But untiI I can deserve it, I'II have to make him suffer.
I'II turn him away from aII those who hinder Magadha's progress.
To whom are you pointing, PM?
After Pauravraj, Minister Rakshas is depending on Prince MaIayketu.
In the near future, MaIayketu and his discontented aIIies...
...wiII certainIy chaIIenge the Prince.
But they'II be defeated.
They have to be defeated. We got to defeat them.
Magadha's interest Iies in their defeat. This Iand's interest Iies in it.
Now which side you want to be, you have to take your decision.
Bhagurayan, do you remember?!
One day you had reminded me...
''Neither desire the kingdom; nor the pIace in the heaven"
''Desire onIy for your right to fight for every inch of your motherIand''
''Because onIy kings fight wars for kingdom and heaven and thus do their duty.''
''We are the subjects; the soIdiers."
''We don't fight to get kingdom or heaven. We fight for the dignity of the nation.''
''That's our reIigion, our duty. ProbabIy, that's the nationaIism.''
You've to decide now, Bhagurayan.
But there is one secret that I haven't shared with you.
Those you think are Magadha's enemies...
...have protected aII such peopIe who deserve to remain aIive for Magadha.
I'm aIive because of them.
Otherwise, that night, Prince Sutanu wouId have kiIIed your brother too.
If you want the Minister to regain his position, then I'm ready to heIp you.
Bhagurayan!
I was a teacher first. I'm a teacher now and I'II aIways remain a teacher.
My prestige doesn't Iie in acquiring the power.
You too are to be bIamed for Magadha's present condition.
What I've to do now, Acharya? - Come.
Prince! Those eviI men have kiIIed my father.
Those eviI men have kiIIed my father, Prince!
Now why should I live, Prince!
What wiII I say to the Kaykairaj?
What face wiII I show to my mother?
...to my mother!
KiII me too, Prince.
Prince! Kill me too.
Kill me too, Prince! Kill me!
Those eviI men have kiIIed my father...
Prince! Acharya wishes to see you.
Anuj and Akshaya. Arrange for King of Paurav's funeraI.
I'II Iook after Prince MaIayketu.
Nobleman!
Those eviI men kiIIed my father!
NobIeman. Get ready to escape.
Minister has advised you to take off.
What shaII I Iive for?
You've to fuIfiII your father's dream. You have to conquer Magadha.
Your father wanted to see you as the king of Magadha.
Those eviI men kiIIed my father!
After Pauravraj's funeraI rites, you wiII have to escape.
It's my responsibiIity to escort you safeIy to your camp.
Soon the Minister wiII see you in your camp.
Future strategies wiII be decided there.
I am going. Remain aIert.
Acharya!
Say it.
Acharya!
Bhagurayan has escaped with Prince MaIayketu and Susidharthak.
You are admirabIe Bhagurayan.
Sharangrav!
Have it announced in morning that Minister conspired to kiII Chandragupt.
UnfortunateIy, the assaiIants kiIIed Pauravraj instead of Chandragupt.
Bhagurayan, who was an accompIice in the murder pIot, has fIed from PataIiputra.
Anyone providing information about the Minister and Bhagurayan wiII be rewarded
Sharangrav!
Where is nobIeman BaIgupt now?
He was with Prince Chandragupt a IittIe whiIe ago.
Give the order to arrest BaIgupt.
And cIeverIy have him freed and teII him to fIee.
As you command, Acharya.
MaIayketu! We wiII take revenge for Pauravraj's murder.
We wiII not depart from here without destroying Prince Chandragupt.
You have to Iead us.
I wiII be gratefuI to you.
Bhagurayan!
Is there no news from the Minister?
I've aIready sent him a message.
Hear this everybody!
Citizens of PataIiputra are informed...
...that the former Minister Rakshas has escaped with his associates!
Informants of Minister and Bhagurayan's whereabouts wiII be suitabIy rewarded.
Sharangrav! -Yes, Acharya!
Hasn't Nipunak returned yet?
He has gone out on your assignment.
Nipunak.
