One villager comes to the assistant of Shridhar, before all the villagers try to beat him up for the loss. They say he is responsible for our starvation.
The 4 intervene and tell them to stop.
Why stop? Says one, look at us we are just bones left we have not eaten for days. We don’t even remember what food looks like anymore.
All the public gather around Prithvi we will have to bury some of them in the morning, if we don’t get food tonight. Prithvi offers his jewels.
You keep it, they tell him. We can get food only from the other village, it will take two days to get it and we don’t have any energy to fetch it. We just want to see Prithvi and commit suicide.
Who is doing this? The three ask. Who do they work for?
Prithvi whispers and tells his buddies to keep silent lets solve the problem.

Dancers are dancing, Ghori's troops inform the Swastikgad King that Ghori is pleased with the developments, all you have to do is continue to fill the people with hatred of Prithviraj and your pockets will be continuously full. But be careful of Prithvi, he has already left Mundwagaon he may be present. Be careful of him, be ready at all times they warn the king.

Sanyo's mother is in a dilemma on how to deal with her daughter/father. Why won’t Maharaj agree with his daughter? I don’t want to lose my daughter.
Don't worry Sanyogita is clever. Maya Ma tells her, then continue at this ashram everything will be alright, I have dealt with these kind of cases before.

Prithvi cannot believe a village could be in such a circumstance. He wants to free it from such calamity. Prithvi notices a family, the son is starving and cries for food. His father tells there is no food available so stop crying! Otherwise I will kill you.
Stop getting angry on your son he is very hungry he will cry, says an elder. I am tired of this life where will I go? The children are in this condition. We must get freedom from this life, tonight we will poison the whole family, then there will be no stomach pain nor hunger. So we will kill each other tonight only.
Prithvi is listening to the whole conversation.
The elder shows a poisonous snake from which the venom can be extracted and use for dying in the sleep. The father of the family takes the venom and mixes it with water to dilute it proportionately. He can administer it to all the people, first children then wife.
No! Stop! Prithvi tells them, suicide is a sin and life is a gift of God.
Who are you to tell us? We cannot bear these hunger pains anymore we have only starvation.
In two days I will provide you with the necessary foodstuffs.
You think we will be alive in two days?
Try and fight to stay alive in 2 days!
Because of Prithviraj we are suffering! Ok we will try to bare another2 days but after that I will take poison.
Just give me two days!
I will give you. But after that, it will be our last and we will have our mass suicide. Okay then we wait, the elder assures Suraj (Prithvi).
Prithvi orders Arjun to make arrangements to get food under any circumstances. Three of them wait till night comes. Arjun returns and gives the news he found the location of the foodstocks, what action to take next. How will we retrieve it all till morning?
The King of Swastikgad is woken up in the middle of the night, he asks whats the matter? His guard replies that we have news that some people are going to loot our food warehouse to feed the people.
Can’t be true, I will never let this happen says the King.
Arjun leads everyone to the warehouse, they hide behind some bushes, from afar they see in the distance two guards sitting at the entrance eating their meal. Prithvi comments, see they eat and the villagers starve. We have less time, but I have to complete this task at any cost. I will divert their attention while you 3 get into that mahal while I do it. Prithvi makes confusion, he rustles the tree branches and leaves near him. The guard’s attention is made and they rush in the same direction to see in the bushes while the 4 rush into the mahal.

Sanyo refuses her food, her mom requests her to eat. I know Maharaj is wrong.
Prithvi would have come to get me by now.
Jaichand overhears the conversation he comes out and warns her that he will kill him if he even tries to come near our palace of Kannauj!
No! No! Mother tries to change his mind, she is just talking nonsense.
From now on she will not be able to go anywhere without your ashirwad.
She will never get ashirwad if she marries Prithvi.
Look Maharaj! Look at it in love not anger, this is a test of our family, it’s our own daughter after all. We will try to make her understand!
Ok Maharani, she should know this herself.
I will not listen you have to accept Prithvi at any cost! Tells Sanyo to both of them.
Sanyogita enough anger! Both are "ziddi". Eat now and in the morning you can fight on this matter. You will need energy to fight informs her mother.
Okay feed me then, nobody can separate us.

The 4 head in to the hallway of the mahal. Then they sneak downstairs, Arjun then tells see the food is behind these doors come! They enter a door that leads to haystacks. Each of them enter inside the stacks of hay/grass, they use it to move, unnoticed. But the guards are aware of their presence, they were waiting for them but pretend as if nothing is going on. The 4 sneak around the place slowly and make noises. Prithvi murmurs to the others, why they don’t react, looks like they know we are here.
Then what to do asks the other 3. We will use their trick on them!
Prithvi gathers with them and thinks of an idea, what to do.
