This time I'm not your sister’s Husband but a "yodha"tells S Singh. I have the duty of looking after my country. Ghori cannot break me that easily.
I am proud that I have a brave brother-in-law like you!
Uday discusses his plans with Kadhambari like how he just saved Sanyo like that. It was all a trick, rigged. Jaichand has made all these plans for us to do. We must not allow her to find about us.
I don't really like doing these type of tricks on Sanyo, tells Uday.
What you don’t like Sanyo? Asks Kadhmabari.
Nothing like that, I admired her from childhood.

I think this was all trick tells Sanyo to Vaishalli. Why would Father allow me to come alone to Bharatpur and leave my room like that! Looks like this a trick to get me married here. No use! I will shatter their efforts.

Chand discusses the death and loss of the sena, they are all in remorse. They could not succeed in climbing the wall of the fort and even S Singh was fatally wounded. What are they to do now? The group discuss together to find a solution. One idea comes to mind for breaking the wall, digging a tunnel from one side to the other is the best alternative. But about Ghori's troops they have 24 hour protection all around the fort, it’s a difficult task.
I know, Prithvi replies back. We need some good ideas.
Arjun has a plan that he will take the sena to one area, meanwhile you all supervise the tunnel work.
No Arjun we will not, Prithvi is annoyed.
Why! I only may die, Arjun yells. I cannot do this much for the country Prithvi.
Prithvi doesn’t like the idea because of the incident with Sanjam.
Just don’t worry about me Prithvi, tells Arjun. Start the construction of the tunnel. If I die then that is my fate.
No! What in the hell are you thinking, you think I don't value your life? You have not been hired out to just die for me! Prithvi is angry.
No! Prithvi no, yells Arjun they both get into an argument. Finally it is decided that Prithvi will take on Ghori instead with the sena.
S Singh interrupts and tells Prithvi it will take us till night to complete the tunnel. How long can you withstand Ghori's troops to divert their attention? How will it be possible for you all to fight so long?
We will make shields to fight the troops that will surely give us protection, says Prithvi.
That is good idea. S Singh designates the appropriate place to start digging away from the enemies eye. Prithvi confirms that with the help of Chand's Patience (hosla) and Arjuns courage (himmat) I will never have to worry at all. The night goes on. Prithvi and Sanyo remember each other.

At Bharatpur, Uday and Kadhambari have their secret discussions, has she asked about the fire, about me? He asks her.
No not yet tells Kadhabari.
Will she be interested in me? Now she will see your heart, Kadhambari has tricks to make Sanyo fall for him.

Prithvi comes out of his tent at camp he goes to the ironsmith Devwansh.
Yes Maharaj can I be of your assistance?
Yes do this work for me.
Yes what is it?
Before morning get minimum 50 shields make them strong, so that Ghori's troops cannot withstand them.
Yes Maharaj, before morning you will get your 50 shields for protection of the sena.

A servant has sarbath for Rajkumari Sanyo, Kadhambari takes it from her and tells her to wait, she adds some drug into it. The tray is taken to her by the servant. Sanyo how are you?
I'm fine.
I was scared in the morning thank God Uday saved you like that. But one thing is that he was brave to save you even while he got burnt himself.
Really? Sanyo is surprised to hear that from the servant.
Yes, his leg got hurt, he is okay now the vaid has taken care of the injury.
I will meet him in the morning, replies Sanyo.
The servant asks Sanyo to take the sarbath its "gulab keshar sarbath" its a very famous drink in this area. Sanyo takes the drink and goes to rest. Sanyo starts to get a head ache. Kadhanbari spies on Sanyo from a hidden spot in the room, she mumbles that the reaction will come tomorrow and leaves the room.

See Prithvi, tells S Singh, this is the area that I have chosen, we can start to dig here for the tunnel without being noticed by Ghori's forces. We will start the work immediately tells S Singh.
In another area big heavy shields are manufactured. To get the work done in time everybody chips in to make them even Prithvi helps the ironsmith Devwansh. The charcoal is blown to heat the metal to weld the joints.

Its early morning, Everybody in the sena is positioned but in their hands are the shields for extra protection. They stand in front of the fort prepared to fight.

Ghori is above on the fort watching, he was in the dilemma that after all the death and loss Prithvi would have gone back to Dhilli. But instead he has a new "tarkeeb". At any cost they will never be able to enter here. Don't worry assures one of Ghori's troop Prithvi will not survive today.

Prithvi gives orders to keep the fight active as long as possible as required giving maximum time for the others to dig the tunnel. Just give the orders Maharaj. Har Har Mahadeo! Har Har Mahadeo! They make their first confrontation.

Ghori’s military come to the outer side of the fort on top, Ghori orders the troops to start firing the arrows. Prithvi's sena are all protected nobody gets injured by the arrows at all. Kahn is annoyed as the arrows cannot kill anyone of Prithvi's army, but still they keep on fighting.
S Singh is in the tunnel he is supervising the digging, he says there is no time even to breath. S Singh gives the orders that the tunnel must be completed by tomorrow morning.

Ghori's troops are in trouble Kahn tells, Sultan! They have made that shield, because of it, all our troops are dying. Ghori doesn’t care we have many troops use them all! We must protect the gate or I will personally kill you, he warns him.

Prithvi and the sena have already encountered the first rounds of Ghori's attack. Kahn orders arrows with fire lit on the tips, at the sena. The shields of Prithvi troops continue to protect them. Prithvi is confident and tells his forces to attack in front near the fort. Ghori's troops throw down big stones or boulders at them in retaliation from the top of the fort.

Meanwhile digging has already started S Singh supervises the work they have made a long tunnel in the ground already.

More huge boulders are chucked from the top of the fort onto the sena. Some get hurt from the weight of the stones. Prithvi tells his forces not to lose heart we must continue the fight till tomorrow afternoon.
