In the village, Prithvi and gang with the surviving troops discuss the situation, it is morning, we have lost most of our “sena” we may not be able to bear the war.
We have our "hosla" but more than “hosla” we will get Ghori, Prithvi assures them. I don't intend to wait till "puranvasi ka din" we will attack now. They all cheer Har Har Mahadeo!
Har Har Mahadeo!
Har Har Mahadeo!
Stop! Somebody hails, they all turn, its no other than Pundir he walks in their direction.
Pundir? Prithvi is surprised to see him, of all people.
Punder walks directly to Prithvi, they give each other a big hug. Pundir, I have told you before not to come.
Pundir has come because he was worried for his buddy, thank God nothing happened to you he tells. I wouldn't be able to forgive myself if anything happened to you. I could not just sit there in the palace like a dumb duck when all the things were going on, like that. Don't worry, I will not take the sword he assures his Pal Prithvi.
Chand intervenes to give Pundir a boost, Pundir is right how could he just sit in the palace quietly when all was happening.
"Teek hai" come with us but remember you take no sword, Prithvi warns Pundir.
One village folk, a lady gives blessings to Prithvi for victory.
With blessing from you, why I will not have victory he is grateful to her. Prithvi also is thankful to Mukhiya of the village. They all salute
Maharaj Prithviraj Chauhan Ki Jai!
Maharaj Prithviraj Chauhan Ki Jai!
Maharaj Prithviraj Chauhan Ki Jai!
One unknown person in disguise walks through to join the troops he enters the village. He is none other than Mir Hussain. Mir doesn't want Prithvi to fight alone. I will fight too, even if I have to hide my identity like this.
They have already left the village, all march on, everyone on horse and foot go ahead. After some distance Prithvi says enough we will stop here. Senapati where will Ghori be situated now?
Ghori is near below this mountain, (they are on the other side of it). Prithvi, Arjun, Chand and Senapati all carry on, up the mountain. It is steep they have to crawl part of the way. They finally reach the top of it. They can easily see Ghori's camp below and all the troops, where each of them is stationed.
Chand notices that Ghori has a huge population in his army. Will we be able to handle them?
Prithvi is calm and composed he is not worried at all, just wait till night falls, then we will attack him. Before he even realizes it, Ghori will become "barbad".

Enough Rajkumari Sanyogita, see your hands. The lamp is burning her palms. Roopali requests Sanyo to stop.
Mother comes to Sanyo also, they both plead for her to stop. God has listened, Maharaj has postponed the swayamwar finally.
Yes?
It has been postponed 15 days ahead. By the time Prithvi would have finished the war.
Roopali is convinced, If the swayamwar has been postponed it’s only because of Sanyo.
Yes, my swayamwar will take place 15 days from now, but I will only choose Prithvi.
Roopali applies medicine on Sanyo's scarred hands. I can tolerate anything for this. But doesn’t mean I will keep quiet for 15 days, I must send Maharani Pratha a message.
Why, asks Roopali.
Because I need to respond to Prithvi’s request or it will not be respectful to him, if I don't.
Who will send the message to Chittorgarh then?
I have a remedy for that too. Sanyo walks to the Shiva idol and removes the “trishul”. She uses it to injure her hand.
What you did?
Tell the guards I am hurt and to call the chief vaid. I will request the chief vaid to send the message for me. Go! Tell fast.
Okay!
Sanyo protects the lamps from going out by the wind.

Night has fallen Prithvi orders everyone to go ahead and attack and kill the enemy.
Except for Pundir, he tells him to stay put and not to move from here. All are dressed in black camouflage and black streaks of paint are on their faces. Har Har Mahadeo! Har har Mahadeo! Har Har Mahadeo! All cheer for victory.
Like wise Mir is also disguised in black and follows them.
Another person is behind some distance away, also. It is Pundir, he has not listened to Prithvi at all. I am ready to sacrifice my life to protect Dhilli. They all make their way downhill, Prithvi remembers his dead troops who were poisoned. One by one each of them go down the mountain.

At the bottom of the hill is Ghori and T Khan, they are relaxing and enjoying entertainment. The gang watch them and comment, they are celebrating victory .
Prithvi taunts and says, lets go and change the celebration to "mahtam" Lets go! Ghori's guards stand in a row, they are directly behind them, all are slaughtered one by one. More guards are on vigilance elsewhere, they don’t even notice Prithvi or his gang at all. They sneak up behind them also and slit their throats the next lot is dead too. They walk still further, Pundir is silently following behind.
Ghori is being entertained by acrobats. Prithvi secretly enters one of the tents. He finds some acrobat costume, an extra pair and puts it on. Its red in colour, Prithvi joins the other acrobats. Fire is set on big rings, the next trick is to run through it without touching the flames. Prithvi passes through the ring of fire.
Ghori cheers, Wa! “Bahut kub” Ghori likes what he sees.
Prithvi looks at Ghori and says, you should try and jump yourself, then it will be very good Sultan.
Ghori doesn't recognize the acrobat. He gets up from his seat and walks near Prithvi.
I was joking, leave it. It will not be possible for you to do it. You need "jigar" for this game, Prithvi makes fun of Ghori.
What are you thinking I don't have "jigar"?
Prithvi changes his answer, yes you do, you have lots of "jigar" Prithvi is standing very close to Ghori.
I am not interested in this game at all, but rather see your “jigar” instead, listen, not in this game but my own game, tells Ghori. Mir is also watching Prithvi from a distance behind a tent. One big dart is lying there. Ghori gestures towards that.
Prithvi is ready as usual, he stands in front of the dart, fire, Sultan Ghori! Prithvi tells him. But you must aim and hit properly, if the knife touches me then you are the loser because only accuracy is important. Ghori throws the 1st dagger, it misses Prithvi.
Prithvi asks Ghori, so you are fighting Maharaj Prithviraj Chauhan?
Ghori throws the second knife it misses too.
One more try Sultan, if this misses then it is like you have lost to Prithvi, tells the acrobat (Prithvi).
Ghori aims the knife for the 3rd time, Pundir, Arjun and Chand watch the drama, they are tense not knowing what will happen next. Ghori throws the knife, Prithvi has bent down, (what happened?) Chand, Pundir, and Arjun are shocked (suspense). Nothing has happened, Prithvi has caught the knife with his hands only.
Ghori is annoyed with the result and shouts, No!
Prithvi holds the knife up in the air to display it, then chucks it away. He walks up to Ghori to give him some piece of advice. Here you are allowed to miss, but when you hit in war there should not be any errors, because even one mistake can change the outcome, Prithvi teaches Ghori.
Ghori doesn’t want to take advice from commoners and responds to the acrobat (Prithvi), like you I don’t do “tamasha”, I do "Jung" I am the ustad of "Jung".
It may be “tamasha” or war, likewise it’s still a game, says Prithvi.
Have you faced the battle grounds before and war you can see and fear death openly, while blood spills?
There is not much difference in this and the battle ground, replies Prithvi. You should be ustad of all.
You are talking to much, Ghori tells the acrobat (Prithvi).
Only my tongue speaks now, when the time comes I can also use the sword, when I need to. Prithvi puts his hand behind his back and removes his concealed sword he points it at Ghori's neck.
Hey! What is this! What’s happening here! Ghori is annoyed he orders his troops to kill him. Nobody moves nothing happens to Prithvi. Ghori is helpless he sees all around his men are covered by Prithvi's forces, all are captured. Now is the time, Prithvi slowly peels off his moustache to reveal himself. Ghori looks at his face, he doesn't say a thing. Prithvi still has his sword on M Ghori's neck.
