Episode on Saturday, October 11, 2008

Arjun and Pundir encircle the entire 'darbar' commenting and gossiping about each and every one of the eligible grooms present. Arjun seems to raise his voice many times while discussing with Pundir.
Prithvi watches them do the work.
Again Pundir and Arjun talk behind the back of another King.
Prithvi cannot control his laugh anymore.
Looks like they covered each and every guest making up stories about, he said this, and they said that, so everyone can hear them and get aggravated and annoyed, ruining their chances at the swayamwar.
One King says to another, you think you are a big fish eh? When Sanyogita chooses me we all will come to know the fact who is the real scaredy cat.
In another corner two other Kings argue, when Sanyo places the "varmala" on my neck, then only this idiot will understand.
Prithvi can hear them argue and watches how everybody challenges each other, the situation is so funny, he laughs. Each and every guest at Kannauj has been insulted in some way, all of them look annoyed. Arjun and Pundir return to Prithvi's and Chand's side.
Prithvi cannot control his laugh and says, hope after doing all this, they all will leave.
That time will be approaching soon, Arjun chuckles.

Announcement; Maharaj Jaichand and Rajkumari Sanyogita!
The four watch as Sanyo and her father come into the 'darbar'.
Sanyo is accompanied by her mother and she wears the new garments brought by her father, her head is bowed down with a glum expression. Servants come with many trays behind.
Prithvi looks and smiles at her.
Jaichand tells Sanyo all the people are looking at you, you need to have only a smile on your face and nothing else. Jaichand takes her arm and leads her into the 'darbar" in front of everybody and all the guests so they can see her up close.
She walks ahead and passes many people, she is just about to pass Prithvi, but he blocks her with his arm. He stretches his palms out in front of her to catch her tears that fall from her eyes.
Sanyo looks at him, she doesn't even recognize him, she thinks it is Maharaj Surya Pratap.
Prithvi looks at her, if you cry such expensive tears then the whole world’s sadness will disappear.
Jaichand tells Sanyo to wipe her tears and walk ahead.
Sanyo wipes her tears and they all pass by the 4. Jaichand, Sanyo and Mother go and stand near the throne, he introduces himself, I am Maharaj Jaichand of Kannauj, and welcome you all. I have arranged for you all, a challenge, look above yourself, you can see up the rotating fish.
Everybody looks up and sees the rotating fish attached to a stick. Prithvi and gang look up. Prithvi eyes the fish and knows he is capable of completing the task easily.
Each and every one of you will have to aim at the moving fish's eyes and hit it accurately while looking at the water below. I want to see who has the capacity to hit accurately and dedicatedly in relation of the worthiness to become the groom and regarding the interests of me and Sanyogita. Come, start now. Jaichand hails for the challenge to start.
Maharaj Gangadhar says I will show you Maharaj Somaya!
Maharaj Somaya replies back, what will you show me! Everybody will see your "tamasha"!
Pundir is enjoying, let’s see the fun he comments.
The two kings are angry, Mjh. Gangadhar takes his sword and fights. Mhj. Somaya also replies back with his sword. Argh! Argh! Two lances clash.
Jaichand quickly goes to mediate, he stops them from fighting by grabbing their hands, there is no use of fighting like this, everybody will get equal chances.
Prithvi takes the opportunity to stand near Sanyogita, he says I have heard about your beauty from many people. For this reason, I made a wish to meet you. Today after seeing you I realized why they talk about you like that, anybody will try to do anything just to get you.
Sanyo gets annoyed and looks at the chilies in a bowl on a table nearby. Really you would do anything for me?
Yes really, I could even die for you.
No it’s not necessary for you to die for me, says Sanyo.
Then please tell me what I can do for you?
She gestures towards the chilies on a table, see it over there, eat that!
Prithvi looks and sees it, only this? He walks over to the table and puts his sword down. Prithvi lifts the bowl of green chilies, he takes one in his hand and eats it.
Sanyo watches him.
Prithvi looks at her the whole time while eating the chilies, he coughs and smiles at her. He finally finishes the whole bowl and puts it back on the table.
Sanyo is not ashamed and sorry, you ate the whole bowl?
If you ask in such a lovely tone how can I refuse?......Jungli Billi!
Sanyo is silent for a moment then she finally recognizes him, Prithvi? She is shocked.
Yes.
Now, no need to worry Sanyo, just keep quiet and trust me. Even if anybody will do anything, you still will come to Dhilli finally.
But what if father finds out?
Just don't worry and keep quiet and trust me, leave it all to me.

Maharaj Somaya and Maharaj Gangadhar again fight with swords. One of them says stop I will kill you!.
Jaichand again tries to mediate and tries to stop them from fighting.
Prithvi comes into the piture and tells Jaichand, don't worry Maharaj I will look after them.
Prithvi whispers in one of the King's ears, you first allow me to take action. Prithvi then walks over to the other King and tells him you first let me take the target then you will win. Prithvi makes both of them quiet and stops the quarrel.
Jaichand is happy, thank-you Maharaj you have done good.
Prithvi is obliged he tells Jaichand what are you saying, I still need to show one by one what I can do in front of you. Gradually you will see it all slowly, slowly.

Everything is under control in the "darbar" the game starts. All watch the fish, it rotates up above everyone. One King is stationed to shoot he takes the bow/arrow in his hands and looks up at the fish. He pulls the bow and gets ready to aim while he looks in the water. The King releases the bow and the arrow misses.
Sanyo looks and is pleased, he missed.
The next King also takes his turn and misses too.
Prithvi saw it and is amused.
Sanyo is also happy that he had also failed.
Jaichand acts as if he is not paying attention.
Now its Maharaj Somaya's turn, he watches carefully in the water taking his time to shoot, he releases his bow, he has missed target too.
Sanyo can't help smiling.
Prithvi waits for his turn.
Jaichand doesn't look thrilled by any of the people. Jaichand eyes Prithvi and requests Maharaj Surya Pratap to try next. It's your turn now, come, he calls him.
Prithvi acknowledges him and is obliged.
Sanyo smiles even more.
He walks over to the area and takes the set of bow/arrow in his hands. Prithvi comes forward and looks at the rotating fish, he walks to the pond of water that is exactly below it. Prithvi's mind is now totally concentrated on the rotating fish. He gets his bow and arrow ready and aims it upward while looking into the water.
Sanyo, her father and everybody watches him.
Prithvi takes his time, paying attention to the eye of the fish and nothing else, he holds the bow/arrow exactly in position, he looks into the water and releases the bow. Bulls-eye, he shot the arrow directly in the fish's eye.
Sanyo smiles again, she is happy and proud, and looks at her father. Jaichand is also relieved that someone got it finally.
Pundir and Chand also are thrilled so is Arjun.
Prithvi looks at Jaichand and walks over to him.
Jaichand is really pleased with him, Great Maharaj! Just great! What perfect aim you have hit.
Prithvi says nothing but grins he walks to the side.
One King is jealous and disappointed, he claims that he has done a trick and points at Prithvi.
Everybody's attention is on him.
He must have cheated to hit the fish, nobody could do it except for him! This King is so angry that he walks over and pushes Prithvi very hard. Prithvi falls forward to the ground.
Sanyo and his buddies are alarmed.
Jaichand rushes to the King, how dare you insult my guest like that!
Prithvi's fake beard has come off partly, Sanyo and his buddies realize it. Prithvi also realizes it in time and tries to stick it back in place.
Mother also notices his beard is off and recognizes him as none other than Prithviraj. She is relieved he is there.
Tell me! Give an answer! Shouts Jaichand.
Prithvi still has time and tries to adjust the fake beard on his face before getting up, he is still down on the ground.
Sanyo is shocked what will happen now.
Jaichand still scolds the King, how dare you think of even touching him. Jaichand walks over to Prithvi and asks for apologies, sorry Maharaj, you have been insulted right in front of me, get up Maharaj.
Prithvi still cannot get up he is on his knees, the beard is still not fixed properly on his face.
Sanyo and Chand look in horror.
Prithvi uses both hands to adjust the beard again. Sanyo and mother don't know what to expect now. Arjun thinks of taking action to save the circumstances.
Jaichand offers his hand to Prithvi for help, to get up.
Arjun comes forward and says its okay Maharaj stop I will help him up.
Jaichand and the King watch them from up close.
Arjun helps Prithvi upward while he still tries to get that beard to stick properly on his face and prevent it from coming out, otherwise Jaichand will find out he is not Maharaj Surya P S, and the entire plan will go wasted.
Arjun assists Prithvi in getting up, finally Prithvi's beard is in place and he faces Jaichand once again.
I am really sorry for this Maharaj Surya Pratap Singh, after being my guest, you have been insulted.
Its okay Maharaj, there is no need to be sorry in front of your to be, son-in-law, likewise you are elder to me. I am grateful enough that you have given your hand to assist me.
Wow! Surya Pratapji, your great! How big you are Maharaj, bigger is your heart! I am so happy to meet you.
Our meeting is not of today Maharaj.
Pardon me, I don't seem to understand you? Questions Jaichand to Prithvi.
What I mean is that destiny had already decided to unite us, that's all, and the only thing for us to do is acknowledge.
Jaichand is pleased and smiles he nods his head positively.
The contest is over and Jaichand announces, come now, all you people enjoy yourselves and take some rest. Tomorrow you will be participating in a special program.
Prithvi rushes to Sanyo’s side and says till morning I cannot wait, I will definitely come in the night and meet you.
Sanyo smiles a lot.
Prithvi walks away.

The full moon shines in the dark sky, Sanyo is happy in her room, she sits pleased in front of her dressing table looking at the mirror. Sanyo removes her jewelry and smiles. She remembers Prithvi, how he ate the chilies, she waits for Prithvi to come. Mother comes by her side instead, she is serious, Sanyogita?
Sanyo's attention is diverted, just because Prithvi has come here it doesn't mean you should be happy, you should be worried instead, my daughter.
But mother I.....
No Sanyo, I know everything, if your father finds out about Prithvi and his disguise, he will not spare you or me. Everything including his entire royalty will be destroyed and ruined.
