Episode on Sunday, October 5, 2008

Chand and Arjun have already collapsed, Prithvi is the last man left of the trio fighting Jaichand's entire army.
Prithvi is growing weary of fighting on his own for a long time, fighting most of Jaichand's troops, a one man show, using two swords at the same time. He has eliminated all of them.
Another batch of Jaichand's troops have come and surround Prithvi, they get ready to attack him. Prithvi can barely manage to stand up, he is completely exhausted. The troops thrash him with the swords on his back and around his body.

Sanyo still looks at the idol with hope.

Prithvi cannot fight the new troops surrounding him, all alone anymore he is exhausted.

Sanyo looks and prays to the Shiva idol.

Prithvi drops down on his knees, just manages to fight in that position. He doesn't want to give up.
Jaichand is pleased and grins as he can see that Prithvi is slowly fading away. He laughs at him.
Prithvi puts all his strength that is left in his body to stay alive. He is real tired now.

Sanyo still prays in the palace.

Jaichand anticipates victory he looks at Prithvi and smiles. You made a big mistake in dealing with us Prithvi! A very big mistake! He points at him.
Prithvi is unable to stay in an upright position. He uses the sword in his hand to give himself support to stand, he staggers to stay up, but no use he finally falls down to the ground.

Sanyogita cries in front of the idol in hopes Prithvi will be saved. The bell sways to and fro.

Prithvi is on the ground totally exhausted, many of Jaichand’s troops come near to him ready to take orders from their King, what to do next.
Jaichand is laughing at Prithvi now, because he thinks Prithvi is doomed.
The troops stand near the fallen Prithvi and laugh at him because they all finally succeeded in overtaking him.
Prithvi lays helpless on the ground he sees them laugh at him. He is so tired and wounded that he cannot get up to save himself anymore, his friends too are also down.
The troops finish laughing and raise their swords for the final.

Sanyo chants mantras in hopes to save Prithvi.

Prithvi is down but conscious, he looks at them.
Arghhh! Jaichand's troops are just about to slay Prithvi.
Prithvi looks in horror at them, they come closer to surround him, and he expects his last.
Many of Jaichand’s troops aim their swords ready to plunge it in Prithvi's body at the same time, but suddenly arrows hit them and they are all killed, instead. Prithvi is saved from Jaichand's troops momentarily.
Prithvi still looks at them in confused state of mind, they have all dropped their swords suddenly and shake with the arrows pinned in their backs. One by one the troops near Prithvi collapse down to the ground. The situation has been reversed Prithvi watches them all fall in surprise, he thought it was his end.
Jaichand is also shocked of the sudden change in the situation.
More arrows pierce the other troops.
It’s Pundir, he has come with the army he runs down the hill. Prithvi’s army continues to fire arrows.
Jaichand looks around to see what has happened.
Prithvi is relieved to see his buddy, he has finally come after such a long time. He has saved Prithvi's life, Prithvi takes a deep breath.

Sanyo still is worried about the situation she continues to pray.

Pundir races in Prithvi’s direction.
Prithvi is safe now, he watches his army come to save and protect him and his buddies. He closes his eyes with relief. The army of Dhilli go directly to attack Jaichand's forces, they chase after them. Pundir makes his way to fight.
Jaichand watches his troops fight, he waits there on the hill and does nothing himself.
Pundir needs to get to Prithvi. He has to fight some troops, he kills them, then some more attack him.
Jaichand can see now he is outnumbered by the Dhilli troops.
Prithvi gains his strength back psychologically, he is happy, and thinks of getting up.

Prayers continue in the palace, Sanyo’s eyes are closed in chants.

Prithvi can see now that his side is on the verge to win he makes efforts to get up.

Roopali comes back into Sanyo's room she calls Rajkumari Sanyogita! Sanyo opens her eyes. Roopali runs to her and Sanyo gets up to learn of the developments. Roopali says, Maharaj Prithvi's army has finally arrived.
Sanyo is overwhelmed and looks back at the idol to thank God, she folds her palms and cries with relief.

Prithvi is standing and watches his army drive Jaichand's forces away, up the hill. Prithvi yells, where are you running! If you have courage fight with me!
Jaichand is annoyed, he scolds at his troops where are you running all! He can see the Dhilli army driving his troops away. Fight them he shouts!

Arjun has gotten up Chand makes efforts to get up too. Prithvi can barely speak he faces Jaichand once again, that’s good, you also run away like them Maharaj Jaichand! Let it not be, that I cannot get your blessings on the day of swayamwar. RUN AWAY FROM HERE! Prithvi shouts at the top of his lungs.
Jaichand responds, he points his sword at Prithvi, he still has no shame and says on the swayamwar day even if I see you near the palace, I will colour my sword with your blood and sit in my palace in peace understand me Prithvi! Jaichand rides away on his horse like a coward.
Prithvi smiles, justice was served he gathers around his buddies they are all well. Prithvi looks at Pundir and puts his hand on his shoulders, where were you Pundir?
It took me a while to come to you, Jaichand had attacked us and came over here. The group of army I was with were are all wounded in his attack, it took longer to organize and bring the second group of army here, forgive me Prithvi.
Prithvi tells Pundir its okay, we still have to go further and fight and face more situations like this lets go! We have to prepare for the swayamwar, let’s go from here. The 4 leave.
It is night they are near a secluded hill in Kannauj. The vaid finishes bandaging Prithvi's wounds, he leaves. Chand and Arjun bring trays of food, Chand requests Prithvi to eat something.
Not interested, Chand.
All three of his buddies sit next to him on the ground with plates of food.
Looks like the love of sister-in-law has nullified your hunger, Chand taunts.
Prithvi smiles a little.
Meeting her once made you become like this, when she will come to Dhilli, God only knows what will happen then, comments Arjun.
They all laugh together including Prithvi.

Sanyo is in her room she does the "abhishek" on the Shiva idol. She happily pours the pot of milk on him.
Roopali enters her room and sits next to her while Sanyo decorates the idol with some marigold.
Sanyo smiles, you came? When did you come here?
I have come here for some time but you have been lost in the thoughts of Maharaj Prithvi for so long that you don't have attention on anything else.
Sanyo laughs, no, what it really is, God has reunited me with Prithvi and I was caught up in his adornments.
Yes, I know tells Roopali they both smile together.

Prithvi stands quietly on the hill alone looking at the moon. He remembers the "feras" and how he put the garland on Sanyogita when he completed the marriage rites. He visions himself putting the 'sindhoor' on her forehead.

The four have assembled to an isolated location near a hill to discuss secretly their plans.
Has the preparations for swayamwar been completed? Prithvi asks his buddies. They all have bandages on their bodies, they have cleaned up and wear new garments.
Is my army ready to face and fight in any situation?
Pundir says yes! We are ready to respond to any attacks of Kannauj he says confidently.
Now you can easily go to the swayamwar without any doubts, we promise you tells Arjun to Prithvi. Jaichand will not be able to touch you or sister-in-law at all.
Prithvi pats him.
They are suddenly interrupted by and old man with a walking stick he says water! He walks near by. Water!
The 4 watch him.
The man walks directly to Prithvi, water, he asks again.
Prithvi takes him in his arms, bring water fast!
Arjun runs to get it.
Prithvi asks the old man to be brave, water is coming for you.
Arjun gives a cup of water to Prithvi quickly, but before Prithvi can administer it, the old man dies in his lap. All four look at him in shock how did this happen.
Prithvi shouts Baba!...Baba! Baba drink the water!
The troops have now gathered around to see what has happened.
Prithvi gently puts the old man on the ground.
One troop tells, Maharaj this is a very bad omen.
Prithvi looks at him. His buddies don't understand what to do now.
A very bad omen! God only knows what will happen! Maybe a very bad circumstance! The trooper warns.
Prithvi and his buddies look at the troop, means what do mean by that?
Maharaj in our village there is a saying, that if somebody drinks water from you and dies in your hands, it means that a very bad situation will arise. Maybe somebody will die.
Prithvi becomes serious the word death rings in his mind. Prithvi remembers the prophecy of the psychic lady and his dream about Pundir.
Pundir consoles Prithvi not to worry and think about the future predictions.
His 3 friends become serious.
Pundir tells him, see I am alright, till now nothing has happened to me. Also nothing will happen to me ahead.
It’s not the problem you say.
Then what is it?
Prithvi comments sarcastically, I have already lost Sanjam. (Prithvi always brings up that topic).
Prithvi try to understand me....
They argue and Arjun suddenly collapses. Chand goes to his side. Arjun! Shouts Prithvi, he falls down on the ground. Prithvi again shouts, Arjun!
Arjun says ouch, he holds his chest, his head is in Prithvi's lap, eyes closed.
Open your eyes! Shouts Prithvi. Arjun! Arjun!
Prithvi....looks like the future prediction was not meant for Pundir, but about me.
Prithvi has a very worried look on his face. No Arjun, nothing will happen to you, don't believe in such things. Nothing will happen to you, nothing!
Arjun comes back to normal and gets up and laughs, leaving his friends puzzled. See, Maharaj Prithviraj Chauhan has all the answers but still worries. Arjun taunts him he was pretending to be sick and did a drama in front of everybody to prove his point. Arjun looks at Prithvi and laughs some more.
Prithvi is relieved that he is okay, if you try this again I will kill you myself! Prithvi gives him a small thump in the back.
Okay Maharaj, Arjun apologizes. They all smile.
You know all of you are like a part of me.
Okay, but you have given our lives up for the sake of sister-in-law, Arjun laughs, and they all laugh together at Arjun’s comment.
Chand says okay then forget it, you have gotten married, at least we must celebrate the marriage.
Yes, says Pundir, we will all celebrate here and there Maharaj Jaichand will celebrate for you in his palace.

Jaichand comes to the Yamuna kinara palace and rushes into Sanyo's room. He goes directly to Sanyo and asks, did somebody come here and meet you?
No answer from her.
I am asking you something Sanyogita! Give me an answer! Did Prithvi come here?
No answer from her.
Jaichand claps to call the guards, one comes rushing to his side.
Did Prithvi come here?
No Maharaj, nobody had come here. Only a Baba came here.
Baba? (Jaichand remembers Prithvi wore a Baba outfit when he fought).That was Prithvi in disguise of a Baba! How did you allow him to come inside! Get out of my site!
Jaichand looks at Sanyo, and you, I have come to take you back to the palace with me. You will stay there till the swayamwar! Under my discretion! And also you will participate in the other preparations that are left.
Sanyo finally breaks her silence, what preparations?
The preparations for the swayamwar and your marriage.
Sanyo gets up from the bed, for whose marriage you’re talking about? My marriage has already taken place with Prithvi.
Jaichand is shocked to hear those words.
Now only the send-off ceremony is left and that will happen in front of your eyes on the day of swayamwar.
Jaichand is furious with that response. If Prithvi even dares to come to the swayamwar, remember this, from our palace will go your "dholi" on top of his corpse, understand it, and come now. Jaichand yanks her arms and drags her away.
She resists.
Come with me! Come, Jaichand pulls her into the hallway.
No father, she pleads, leave me, let me go father, she cries. Sanyo clings to a drape, he pulls her away, no father, I don't want to come. Jaichand pulls her arms roughly, let me go father, she cries more. Sanyo tries to take a grip of a pillar to stop her father, but no use he pulls her forcefully she has to let go, no father, she cries.

Prithvi was sleeping by a tree outside, he suddenly wakes up and exclaims, Sanyogita? Prithvi remembers how Sanyo was worried about her father’s tricks.
Chand taps his shoulders, what is it Chand?
We got the news that Maharaj Jaichand has forcefully taken Sanyogita back to the palace and he wants her to take part in all the swayamwar activities, tells Chand.
Arjun is nearby and listening he is happy, isn't this all good? What I think is that you should also participate in all the activities with sister-in-law too.
Prithvi is confused what are you talking about Arjun? Jaichand won't allow me to even come near the palace and you are talking about going inside it.
You cannot go inside, so what, Krishnanagar's Maharaj Surya Pratap Singh can go right?
Krishnanagar's Maharaj Surya Pratap Singh? What are you saying Arjun?
Arjun giggles, you just get ready to complete and perform the marriage rites, leave the rest to the fun. The 3 buddies laugh and walk away, leaving Prithvi puzzled.

The swayamwar function is about to start. In the Kannauj palace Jaichand introduces Sanyogita to some of the eligible Kings. This is Rajkumari Sanyogita, he leads his daughter forward, come my daughter he says politely to her. This is the King of Sitapur Maharaj Jaibund.
The King bows to her.
Jaichand continues, his kingdom is filled with gold mines, understand that half of the gold that comes from Bharat come from his kingdom.
The King says something to her, but Sanyo isn’t paying attention to him, she is in her thoughts, he offers some gold ornaments as token to her.
Jaichand gets annoyed by her ignorance, he says come.
They walk further into the pavilion, this is King of Maniknagar Pratap Maharaj Shakti Singh. In his kingdom they have expensive pearls and rubies.
Rajkumariji I have been uneasy, waiting all these years to just get a chance to take a glance at you, he complements her.
Sanyo thinks in her mind, then I will be troubled my entire life, she remembers how Prithvi said he wanted to take her away in front of everyone and she will put the 'varmala' only on Prithvi.
Shakti Singh gives her a gift, 9 lakh necklace of gold on behalf of his Kingdom to her.
Jaichand nods yes and is grateful.

The 4 hide behind some bushes and spy in the darkness. They watch as some King passes by.
Arjun introduces the person in front on the horse, this is Krishnanagar's Maharaj Surya Pratap Singh.
Prithvi eyes him.
