Charu, Sushim and Siamak’s words echo in Bindu’s head. He holds his chest and falls down in the corridor. Dharma and Ashoka come rushing to him. Other family members also come there.

Siamak comes to meet Helena. He tells her everything that happened today. Helena is happy. There can be no better news than this for me. Ashoka made it possible what I couldn’t do since so long. This dispute between father and son will take this lineage down. It will help us only. Bindu is unwell. Sushim is with us and Ashoka has no idea about facing a big army. Unani army will easily win as the treasury will be less. This is the perfect time to attack.
Raj Vaid says I already told you to keep Samrat away from stress. His heart has become weak. I cannot say anything for now. Anything can happen. Let him gain conscious.
Sushim is angry. Why don’t I get something on time? I tried to get father killed from Ashoka’s hands two days back. I would have become Samrat definitely if that would have happened. Destiny has other plans. Father will die when it will give all the rights to Ashoka. Mahamatya says he will end our story just like he ended Das tradition. Who will save us then? Sushim thinks of the tantric.
The tantric slaps Sushim. You are questioning my capability by asking me the same question. You will have to wait for that moment. Sushim deduces that Bindu will not die now.
Dharma and Ashoka are keeping wet cloth on Ashoka’s head turn by turn. Ashoka is also taking care of his father.
Nicator vows to take everyone. I have to take revenge from Bindu for what he did with his daughter. Mir too wants to settle his dues with Patliputra. I guess the time has come. Nicator asks his commander to ready an army of 10k soldiers. Mir suggests to make it sudden so Magadh is not prepared. We will need an excuse. They will doubt us then. Nicator says we will play Holi with blood this time in Patliputra. First of all we will kill Ashoka!
Both Dharma and Ashoka stick to Bindu’s side while he is unconscious. They fall asleep next to him only. Next morning, Shubhrasi wakes them up. Dharma checks Bindu’s temperature.
Helena is curious as to what his father will be planning.
Nicator’s army is ready.
Bindu has not woken up since many days now. Ashoka is concerned. Dharma assures him he will be fine soon. He will forgive you surely after knowing how much you took care of him. No father can be upset with his kid for long. A soldier comes to inform them that Raj Vaid has called them. Charu, Mahamatya and Sushim come to the room just then. Sushim remarks that his father is so stubborn. We did so much but it did not hurt him. His heart became weak when he had to hear things against of Ashoka. Charu angrily says that she feels like freeing him from his pain right away. Bindu opens his eyes with a start. Charu and Sushim are taken aback. Bindu asks for water. Sushim feeds him water. Mahamatya says thank God that Charu and Sushim were still by your side when no one else paid a thought to it. It is because of them that you recovered. He goes out to inform everyone.
Dharma runs to meet Bindu. Ashoka thanks God for hearing his mother’s prayers. Bindu looks pointedly at Dharma as she comes in. Sushim gets down from the bed. We have hit bull’s eye now. Dharma asks Bindu about his health. He says I am fine and withdraws his hand from her. I don’t need you here. Take care of your son. Dharma says I know you are upset with Ashoka but he too regrets doing what he did. Bindu says I regret making Ashoka a Yuvraaj. I never expected him to do this to me. The worst thing is that you are still supporting him. She tries to explain but he instead asks her to do a favour on him. Don’t let him come before me after today. Do anything that you have to do for the same. Both Dharma and Ashoka are taken aback. Charu, SIamak, Sushim and Mahamatya smirk. Kaurvaki has heard everything from outside. She looks sad. Ashoka hides behind a pillar as his mother comes out of the room. Kaurvaki and Ashoka notice each other.
Charu tells Bindu to rest. Let good thoughts come to your mind. I will pray to God till then. Sushim, Siamak and Mahamatya too leave to do some work. Bindu angrily throws the glass away. Ashoka looks hurt. Kaurvaki knocks at Bindu’s room. Bindu mistakes it to be Ashoka. I told your mother not to let you come before my eyes. Kaurvaki says Samrat. He allows her to come in. Is everything fine? She says I have all the respect here because of you only. I feel you are making a mistake in understanding Ashoka this time. He says magadh’s Samrat, Ashoka’s father is mistaken here. You think you know him well? Your age cannot challenge my experience. She reasons that only truth can challenge lie. He gets angry. She apologizes. I thought you had the patience and courage to listen to the truth. He allows her to speak. She says if you think Ashoka wasn’t worried about you then you should know that no one took care of you like anyone else while you were unconscious. He helps and looks after everyone selflessly. I have never seen someone like that. You would know that we should understand the motive behind the karma. This is where everyone goes wrong. I made the same mistake when I looked at him as a Maurya, my enemy. I thought he will never want my good but time made me realise I was wrong. When he can do so much for a stranger then wont he do much more for his father who means the world to him? I have got to know he lives for others. His life has only motto – to fulfil his Guru’s dream and to live up to his parents’ expectations. He has put his life in risk not once but many times for this. Dharma is outside and has heard everything.
kaurvaki talking to Bindu. Have you seen what all he had borne to fight the enemies of Mauryas’’s? He did not even lose out to death. Reason being the state and you! He was alone in Takshshila even when he was dead for the world. He still did not give up. He wanted to fulfil the promise he made to you. I dint see him this happy in Takshshila gaining small victories when I saw the smile on his face when you kept your hand on his head. He was away from you yet he became the kind of son which no one in this palace could become. I know you are upset with him as he took a big decision against the tradition. I know it will affect the treasury too. I was there with him. He said he will speak to you first on the same. it was never his intention to not give you respect or to disobey you. Bindu asks her if she is done. It is commendable for the way you spoke in his favour. Tell your father that I want to see him. KAurvaki leaves from there. Dharma is outside. She drops a diya by mistake when she turns to go. Bindu hears the sound and is startled. He looks at Dharma.
Ashoka is sad to hurt his father. How do I make up for it? I did it for other people’s sake. I had no personal motive or wanted to hurt father. I wish I could explain things to him. A soldier informs him that Samrat has called everyone in his room, including you. Ashoka is confused. A while back he said he did not want to see my face.
Nicator and Mir discuss their plan as to how to attack on Magadh. We will attack from two different sides. My messenger will head from front carrying my message. They will be diverted towards it and we will get to attack easily. Bindu has no idea I know what he did to Helena. I wont spare him. Entire Maurya lineage will die on the day of Holika Dahan. Mir is worried about Ashoka. Anything can happen till he is there. He smells danger from anywhere. What if he tells his father not to allow you inside? Nicator says there is Siamak in the palace too. He will find a way. No one can stop me from ending Maurya lineage. Mir too wants to seek revenge from Bindu for Noor and his insult. I will make him blind. Nicator wants to put their plan into practise asap.
Dharma is already in the room when Ashoka comes there. Bindu asks him how much more he wants to insult him. Kalinga’s girl came to tell me I cannot understand my son. She gave me a lecture on your selflessness. Ashoka says I did not ask her to do so. I am sure she dint have wrong intentions. Bindu wonders if he thinks he had bad intentions. Dharma reasons that wrong timings twist even Ram to Mara (dead). Everyone else comes there. Bindu say sorry to Maharaj Jagannath for the delay in fulfilling his promise to him. I got engaged in internal problems. I promised Maharaj Jagannath that I will help him in gaining Kalinga. It is time for Maharaj Jagannath and princess Kaurvaki to head back to Kalinga. He asks Mahamatya to make preps for the same. 25k soldiers and half of army should be arranged for the same. Charu says how you will go in this condition. Bindu wants Ashoka to head the army. He won over Takshshila alone and asked for Yuvraaj’s position. It is time for him to do his duty. Kalinga has extra faith in Ashoka. I am sure he will defeat Keval Nath and hand over the throne back to Maharaj Jagannath. Ashoka will have to be there by Rang Panchmi (Holi). Jagannath should regain his position on the same day he lost it. Jagannath says living up to your promise hints at your goodness. Bindu says the announcement is over. Everyone leaves one by one. Bindu calls out after Ashoka so as to stop him.
Sushim says he did not think a small act will make such a big trap for Ashoka. Father is putting Ashoka in the face of death. Mahan Chandragupta Maurya could not win over Kalinga. How will Ashoka do it? Mahamatya smiles. This war will go on for long. It will give you ample time to better your relations with father and make a place for yourself. Siamak has heard it all. Not just Ashoka but Sushim will also have to face a war. You will lose definitely as Ashoka wont be here.
Bindu tells Ashoka that the treasury can pay for this war till next month. I have no idea what will happen next. We wont have ample funds afterwards as you ended the tradition. The leader is responsible for all the soldiers too. Don’t take any decision which will cost them. Don’t disappoint Maharaj Jagannath. Ashoka promises him. Bindu points out that war does not give anyone another chance.
Nicator is happy to know that their main problem Ashoka will be out of their way now. No one can stop us from winning now. He sends a messenger to Magadh. Now Bindu will open his doors for me. No one will be there to save him this time.
Ashoka comes to seek his mother’s blessings. Dharma hopes Bindu realises one day how wrong he was in understanding his son. Ashoka tells her not to worry about it. Satyamev Jayate. I have nothing against father or his decision in my heart. Allow me to go with a smile. She does his tilak and aarti. Kaurvaki too bends down to seek Dharma’s blessing at the same time. I wont forget the love and respect you gave to me. I am sad to go away from you. Dharma replies that nothing is permanent in this world. Remember the promise I made to you. You are the only one who can understand him. Ashoka says I am not so complicated. Kaurvaki says not so but yes you are. Dharma asks her to be with Ashoka as his strength. Kaurvaki assures her of the same. They share a group hug.
Ashoka comes to Bindu’s room. Charu, Sushim Siamak and Mahamatya look at them from far. Bindu tells Ashoka the importance of time. You should know when to attack and how. They are equally important. Ashoka goes out of the room. Ashoka leaves with his troops but has a feeling that this isn’t the right time.
