Prithvi returns from the vaid's house, Arjun asks, so what did you do then?
There they fight in a different style at this gambling arena our own friend has been injured severely.
I will not allow this to happen to anyone else here after.
The vaid tells Prithvi to train and prepare for it the next 3 days. There is one guru who can train you, go to him. Guru Karnik is his name, go to the north after the hill you will see his hut.
Without waisting any time Prithvi is already on his way to find Guru Karnik's dwelling, he climbs the hill to get to the place.

Chachaji is brought blindfolded and led to an old lady within some cave.
She is going to be hired to kidnap Sanyo, the lady asks him where is she from? Chachaji replies Kannuaj. She asks how much will you give me for it?
Any price, Chachaji tells her.
The lady asks for 1/4 of the kingdom of Kannauj.
Chachaji replies done, we will rule together so take me to Rajkumari Sanyo.
Chachaji and the lady go back to the camp. He introduces the lady to Sanyo she will be accompanying us on the yathra, all of them travel ahead.

The pilgrims advance forward, a cloth is blown on Sanyo's face just as it did when she was with Prithvi on the last yathra at the very same place. Sanyo almost stumbles. The lady tells Sanyo to be more careful while walking Sanyo says I have no problem at all. The lady says then atleast we wont have any problem on our journey ahead.

Back at the camp Arjun keeps an eye on the invaders. The invaders are puzzled to why Chander is left there alone .

Mean while Prithvi has already crossed the hill and reached the forest, he yells anybody here and echos sounds.
Prithvi stumbles ahead and lands in a trap.
it ties up in his legs and he hangs upside down from it .
With that the Guru emerges form the forest.
Who are you? he asks, Prithvi replies I want to be trained the game of death,
sorry nobody here to teach anything.
Prithvi requests at least remove me from the trap.
The guru does nothing and Prithvi releases himself.
Prithvi again approaches Guru Karnik, he tells him about the incident of Pundir,
and wants to eliminate the game altogether. Prithvi requests guru to teach him the game please, once again.
Look I already warned you, I will not teach it at all especially when its for revenge!
No! Prithvi says, I want to stop these bad people and avoid this tragedy to happen to any one else.
Prithvi is fed up begging to him and finally says he will learn himself.

The guru finally agrees to teach Prithvi with one condition,
you have to give 3 tests without asking any questions.
Guru tells to walk on the path of fire.
What kind of test is this? I want to learn the game of death.
Look do it or go exclaims guruji.
Prithvi remembers the man at the arena who begged for his life .
Prithvi goes towards the charcoal, he takes of his shoes and starts walking slowly on the flames.Prithvi completes the difficult task so Guruji tells his daughter Naina to put ointment on his foot, he says no need, 2nd test please.

Morning Sanyo comes out off the tent to help Chamki prepare the food .
Chamki says, you look happy this morning then ever before.
She replies that she is confident that she will forget Prithvi by the time the yathra is over.
The evil lady and Chachaji are close by watching her, the main goal is to eliminate the kids first he tells the evil lady.
Those children will even sacrifice their life for Sanyo thats how close they are.
So we must get rid of them first.
But Chachaji aims to get rid of the lady too once they are gone.

Prithvi says, its getting late and tells guruji to hurry up and continue with the next test.
Look I didn't call you here! If you don't have patience go from here at once.
Ok what do I have to do next? Prithvi asks politely.
Guruji takes a large glass bottle and smashes it with his own bare hands.
He tells Prithvi to do the same .
Prithvi has his hands partly wrapped in cloth,
the guru says lets see how much strength you have in your hands!
Prithvi smashes the bottles, he is in severe pain.
Finish these bottles then continue the 3rd test,
hurry up or it wil be too late.
Didn't you say it only! Guruji taunts.

Naina serve me some food what is the menu today kir/puri.
Prithvi continues the test and smashes more bottles, his hands become all bloody he stares at them.
