The swayamwar is in 15 days tells Raj Purohit, the only thing that’s sad about it is that Maharaj Jaichand has invited all the Maharajas and Rajas of all the kingdoms except you.
Prithvi stands silent in front of the Raj Purohit undisturbed. He doesn't waste time and immediately makes his way to the hallway. His friends watch him leave, Chand says listen..... But he's too late Prithvi has already left and ignores him. Prithvi leaves the palace.
Prithvi stop! His friends Pundir and Arjun call him, they get no response so they follow behind him.

Sanyo is locked up at the Yamuna Kinara Palace. She wonders if Prithvi got her message or not. Somebody outside is approaching on horse, he rides ahead. Sanyo thinks it’s the vaid and he has returned from Chittorgarh and delivered the message, she runs to see the person.
Sanyo! Roopali calls.
It was somebody else. She tells Roopali, I thought it was.....
Why are you so worried? Maharaj will get the message and surely take you away.
No, he has given oath to his mother and will less likely ever come or never come, Sanyo reminds her servant Roopali.
But he is a Rajput, and they live up to their words he had promised you, he will fulfill it.
Sanyo decides to wait outside, lets see for the last time if I get news from him. If separation is in my destiny then so be it.

Prithvi has taken his horse and making his journey to the forest, he has travelled through the night and now it is daylight. Prithvi remembers Raj Purohit's words during his ride and also has flashbacks of the past with Sanyo. Pundir and Arjun are steady behind on horse too, they yell out for him to stop, as there is a valley ahead. Pundir and Arjun ride fast behind and try to over take him.
Prithvi rides his horse non-stop till he reaches a dead end, a cliff and a deep valley is below. His mother is in front of it she blocks his passage. Prithvi is surprised to see her and has to pull the reigns of his horse to stop. Prithvi looks at his mother. Pundir and Arjun have also arrived behind.
Mother asks what are you doing, where do you think you’re going? What you thought she will put the garland on any one.
Prithvi responds to his mother, I will forget her let her do what ever she wants.
Look she has given this message. She is not doing the swayamwar according to her wishes, she is being forced to do it. See this letter, mother shows the scroll to him.
Prithvi gets down from is horse and takes the scroll in his hands he unrolls it and reads it. Mother prompts and says,
she has written, Sanyo is yours and always be yours, its written that you should not feel that she is less in your life , mother continues, its written that if not in this life then at least in next life nobody can separate us.
On swayamwar night it will not be her “dholi” it will be her “asti” that will leave.
Mother finishes and says, I am taking back the oath I gave you before. I have freed you from it tells mother to Prithvi, now let anything happen Sanyo will be only Prithvi's. Go! Prithvi go, go and get your Sanyogita mother tells him. Go!

In Kannauj, in the "darbar" Jaichand laughs to himself, how it’s going to be fun when all the Rajas and Maharajas come to the swayamwar here and Prithviraj Chauhan will be all alone in Dhilli. It will be an insult for him, it will be remembered forever by everyone.
A minister advises Jaichand, but Maharaj, Prithvi is angry and can attack anyhow.
No! Says Jaichand, even if he wanted to attack he won't. He has the oath, his mother gave to him. Meanwhile the guards announce the arrival of Maharaj Krishnakant of Dakshin Bharath. Jaichand gives orders for him to be taken to the neighboring room where the other king’s are staying. Also make sure that proper care and attention is given to him. I just wish to see Prithvi's face, it would be real fun says Jaichand. Prithvi! Ha ha ha, he gives a big laugh.

Night has fallen, Prithvi is at home at ease, he is distracted by some jingle sound in his room. Prithvi looks around to find out where the sound is coming from. It is nothing but "payal ka gungroo" Prithvi sees Sanyogita (imagination). He walks up to her closely, I caught you he says to her.
Sanyo smiles at him.
Prithvi then touches Sanyo’s chin, I am coming to get you!
I have been waiting so long for it, then she suddenly disappears.
Prithvi! Arjun calls him the gang is looking for him.
Prithvi greets them, come on we will go to Kannauj he says.
Now? His buddies ask.
Yes now, with the full army says Prithvi, I will take Sanyo away right in front of Jaichand and bring her to Dhilli to stay permanently.
But first, Pundir advises, we have to find out where Sanyo is.
Yes Prithvi, Arjun also replies, she is locked up in some place, she will only be let out moments before her swayamwar. She will not be allowed into the palace till then.
Pundir says we are in need of a plan.
Prithvi agrees to all of the suggestions, okay instead we will go tomorrow morning, ready with a full plan.
Arjun diverts the attention, but Prithvi take that off the arm band, he laughs at the King.
Prithvi looks out of the window, Sanyo now nobody can separate you from me, he looks at the moon in the sky from his room.

Sanyo is concerned and wondering about her message. God only knows what will happen, maybe Prithvi got my message after all? But what will he be able to do anyways, he has his mother’s promise.

Prithvi looks out the window and remembers Sanyo. Prithvi finally gets a smile on his face.

Simultaneously, Sanyo also remembers Prithvi.

Prithvi wraps his shawl around him as the cool breeze enters his quarters from the window.

Jaichand enters her room and calls her name Sanyo! I thought I would tell this in person, all about how the Rajas and Maharajas have come to attend the grand wedding that I have arranged. There are many “Veer Yodhas” present also.
There is only one “Veer Yodha” in my life and he is Prithviraj Chauhan!
I always think of what’s best for you and your benefit, tells her father.
You can think whatever you want, I will not put the "varmala" on anybody except Prithviraj Chauhan, even in my next life!
No! You will put the "varmala” on the King we select for you, I will even use force if it goes to that extent, Jaichand warns her. He is furious and leaves the room, his efforts go waste.
Sanyo cries.
Roopali enters her room, what happened Rajkumari Sanyogita?
It’s just too much, I will kill myself before the swayamwar, she tells her. She turns to the Shiva Idol in her room.

It is morning, Prithvi discusses with his buddies about the plans. I am sure while taking Sanyo away Jaichand will attack us. So for that reason I have made this plan. I and Chand will go into the palace to find out where Sanyo is being held. Why I am using Chand is because he is a poet, nobody will stop a royal poet from entering the palace. I will be Chand’s servant in disguise, tells Prithvi, nobody will stop his servant either. Next the army, there will be several divisions:
1. The first group will be in a swami disguise. They will follow the road by the river and keep an eye in that area. The Senapati will lead them.
Har Har Mahadeo!
2. The second group will be disguised as drama artists/actors, they will be lead by Pundir.
Har Har Mahdeo!
3. The third group will be disguised as business people of commerce, they will mix with the soldiers of Kannauj and entertain them. Also keep them busy and divert their attention, their job is to differentiate who is strong or weak.
4. The third group will be disguised as village folk.
5. The fifth group, the last will be disguised as labor force.
Arjun will look after 3rd, 4th and 5th divisions of the army. Har Har Mahadeo! They will mix with the Kannauj villagers and find all exits of Kannauj.
Har Har Mahdeo!
Arjun complements Prithvi, what a plan, very good Prithvi.
Chand also is satisfied and agrees with Arjun.
Arjun tells Chand to write all this in a poem and make it a historical event!
