Episode 1
King Nand's Chief Amaatya's name was Amaatya Raakshas or Mudraa Raakshas.

Chaanakya came to Magadh from Takshashilaa to ask help from Magadh King Nand because at that time Alexander was proceeding towards India. he was about to cross Hindukush Parvat. He wanted to unify Bhaarat, but Nand threw him out of his court holding his Shikhaa (tuft). Chaanakya did not like this, he got angry. He opened his Shikhaa and took a vow that until he would remove Nand from Magadh throne and install someone who could unify Bhaarat, he would not tie his Shikhaa.

Chandragupt's mother's name was Muraa. They lived with Muraa's brother. He did not pay taxes so he was arrested. In that kingdom children used to be sold. Chandragupt thought to help his Maamaa by selling himself to the person. One man promised to help him. Chandragupt said that he could do anything to free his Maamaa. So he was sold to that person and he took him tied with rope. The person bought him in 15 Pan (currency of those times) and Chandragupt got his Maamaa released by paying those 15 Pan.

--------------------------

Chaanakya was taking Chandragupt to Kaal Island which was the open jail of Nand. There he had imprisoned 4 people of Shaktaar. Thos four mighty people were Veeraa, who was good at archery; Shakrant who was good at throwing spear (Bhaalaa); Dhandok and Aadidheeraa. Aadidheeraa was an Atirathee and he knew Dhwani Bhedan art (fighting blindfold at the sound) very well. he knew that Nand will know about his coming there abut he had found out that it will take at least a week for the army of Nand to reach there. Otherwise also Kaal Dweep was surrounded by Magadh's soldiers for its safety.

------------------

Chandragupt Sets Out for Veer Yaatraa
In Veer Yaatraa there were terrible paths, dense forests, mountains, passes, deserts etc. Chandragupt set off his Veer Yaatraa with his three enemies (who were Aambheek's friends) - Digvijaya, Shashaank and ----.. Chaankay had told him to make them his friends on the way. He told him thhis also that anybody can be made friend  by sweet and affectionate talks, not by fight, so Chandragupt talked to them affectionately. Chandragupt told them to forget the old enmity and start behaving with him affectionately, because a single man could not bring the Kavach, that is why it was important to move in a group. They agreed and promised him to be his friend. Then he asked them - "How can I trust you that you are my friends now?" One of them gave his water bottle to him and said - "In this journey water is very important, I give you my water bottle."

Chandragupt took his bottle happily and all proceeded further on their way. But those three boys were the friends of Aambheek. After a while one of them made a hole in that bottle from behind, which cause the whole water seeped out. After the bottle got empty, one of them said - "I feel thirsty, Chandragupt, you have some water. Can you give me some water?"
"Yes, why not?" and Chandragupt checked his bottle was empty. he was surprised to see this, "Where the whole water went?"
One of the three boys told him that there was a hole in the bottle which let the water out of the bottle. Who did it? Chandragupt understood that it was their trick, but he did not get disappointed.

Chandragupt Goes in Search of Water
After a while one boy got so thirsty that he was very restless. At this time Chandragupt decided to show his care for his group members. So he just asked him to wait till he gets water from somewhere. That boy told him repeatedly that he should not go for him in search of water because he was not so important, and water was also not available in that area, where will he find it? But Chandragupt said - "I am the leader of the group, I have your responsibility of fulfilling your needs. Unless I see you comfortable, I cannot proceed." And he left all the three boys there and proceeded in search of water. As he left all the three boys smiled looking at each lother.

He went a little far still he could not find water anywhere, instead he found a Yogee sitting. He asked him if he could get some water for his friend. His friend was very thirsty, he needed water to survive." He said pointing towards one side - "If you go this side, you will find a pond, you can take water from there." Chandragupt went to that side for water, but as he saw the [pond, he saw a lion too nearby. Chandragupta was frightened but he did not show it on his face. He continued to look into his eyes continuously. In a while the lion went away from there. Chandragupt went to the pond. He closed the hole by inserting a thin stick, filled the water in the water bottle and started coming back. On the way back he met that Yogee again, he thanked him and came back to the place where he left his friends. He made that boy drink the water and they all started their journey again.

Chandragupt was arrested by the King of Bandeebhuj city and was put in his jail. He was just sitting trying to find some way to get lout that in the night a trap door opened in his floor and a man came from it. That man [Dishaantar] told him that he has been imprisoned there for 6 years and he has attempted to come out from there several times, dug several tunnels  but has always been unsuccessful. He also told him that only a man's corpse could got of this jail, not an alive man. He asked Chandragupt about him that what he was doing there? Chandragupt told him that he along with his friends was goling to bring Kavach for his Takshashilaa Gurukul, that this Bandeebhuj King has arrested him. The Kavach was difficult to get and for many years nobody could get it, but he is determined to get it.  The Kavach is on some island and he had the map of that island.

The man laughed and told him that the Kavach belonged to his tribe and now only he is remaining to guard that Kavach. Why nobody could get that Kavach because there are movements in earth's inside part and that is why the island was never at one place, and for the same reason no map could help anybody to reach there. But since he knew all these secrets he could take him there. Chandragupt said - "All right, then you come tonight and then we will work on our plan. By that plan we will got out of this jail and I will get that Kavach." and that went away by that trap door only.

Episode 21
Once Chaanakya was going somewhere and he passed from a village, that he saw the people of that village were threatening a girl, Takshitaa, that they will throw her in a dense forest, because she was a demoness. She had bitten her father and he died by the poison. That girl used to eat a poisonous kind of fruit to her satisfaction. Chaanakya brought her to Takshashilaa with him. He had planned something for her.

That man came to Chandragupt in the night and took him to his cell. Chandragupt asked him where he has brought him. That man said - "I have brought you in my cell." Chandragupt said - "I told you to take us to the Corpse House. Let us go  there." "But why?" "You wanted to go out? and after reaching there we will mix with corpses and then we will get out, because you said that "only corpses can go out of this jail." So that man took him the Corpses' cell. They both entered in two sacks made for corpses and came out the jail of the King. Whe the King's people threw the corpses out, he doubted as if some corpse was moving, but the other man said - "We have beaten them very well, even if somebody will be alive, he will die soon. Nobody can be alive after getting so much beating." and they went away. After those people had left, Chandragupt and that man came out opening that sack.

Now in Bandeebhuj city, its King came to know that two prisoners who were supposed to get life sentence had run away from the prison, so he sent his people to get them back. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After coming out Chandragupt asked the man to tell him the map of the island on which the Kavach could be found, but the man cheated him, he did not tell the map and ran away from there. Now Chandragupt was left alone. He came back to his friends and he came to know that his friend Shashaank was given the life sentence. The King caught him so that he could catch Chandragupt also. hearing that his friend was given life sentence, Chandragupt will surly come to free him and then he would imprison him. Shashaank continued to tell the King that Chandragupt will not come to free him, but the King was sure that he would come as he had seen something in his eye which said that he could not leave his friend alone like this.

When Chandragupt had known that his friend Shashaank is prisoner with the King, he decided to bring him back before they could go further on their mission. So he found a cart and hiding in that cart he entered the city and came to the palace of the King where both the King and Shashaank were talking about his coming. There he fought with people and got Shashaank free. They ran away from there, got caught once but they jumped in a river and ran away from there. In this process Chandragupt was shot by an arrow by the King's soldiers.

Episode 22
Chaanakya is in class teaching Raaj Neeti. He has some hunch and immediately he starts doing Mrityunjaya Mantra Jaap. Chandragupt and Shashaank come out of the river and meet their friends. But Chandragupt got unconscious because the arrow shot. Shashaank was the best student of Vaidyak (traditional medicine) so he used to treat everybody.

Chaankaya ordered to conduct research on those wild fruits which Takshitaa used to eat and digested them. Chaanakya had a plan to make a group of such Vish Kanyaa in the future to protect the king

Nand's wife was worried about Chitraroopaa. Muraa, her maid, assured her that she would find out about her as who she was etc. So Muraa kept an eye on her. Once Muraa found Chitraroopaa, Muraa promised her to conceal her secret in the exchange that Chitraroopaa would give her some poison.

Shashaank asked his friends to bring some herbs, they brought them. Aambheek's man Kaaleecharan had not come back yet, but now they all proceeded on the path to bring Kavach. The then Kaaleecharan came there and he told the friends of Chandragupt that Aambhhek has sent him to kill Chandragupt. Kaaleecharan was given the idea that those three boys were still Aambheek's friends, but Chandragupt's love has changed their sincerity from Aambheek to Chandragupt. Kaaleecharan did not know this. he did know Chandragupt, so he asked who was Chandragupt. They pointed out to him. Kaaleecharan got ready to kill him that all said - "We are Kshatriya, we don't kill unconscious man." So he stopped. He told them that Aambheek has also started his journey to get Kavach. Later Aambheek's friends killed him. Chandrgupt was all right now so they all set off on their journey again.

The map Aambheek had was misguiding them. One of them said - "Because the geography is changed often, that it was difficult to locate that island." Aambheek thought if Chandragupt had been caught, they could take the map from him and they could know the correct path. And if we cannot get Kavach, then he should also not get it.

They came to a point from where the path was changed. So Aambheek left a man there and proceeded on the path which Chandragupt had taken.
[Aambheek started with three killer prisoners - one was Kaaleecharan who was killed by Chandragupt's group, the second one he left at the point from where the path were changed from normal, and the third one he took with himself]
Now they remembered that the man who came with Chandragupt (Dishaantar) was from the prison. Chandragupt asked them to return but they did not return. The then Dishaantar came there and said - "Who can put his own life on stake for others, he must get my ancestors' Kavach." and he proceeded with them on the path to the island taking them along with him. he pt the condition that they all will will obey him.

Somehow Chitraroopaa got the poison Muraa asked from her and she gave it to her.

When Dishaantar was going, he was testing the land by throwing stones at place to place. He was worried about the land's solidity, because somewhere there could be a marshy kind of land, where if he had stepped, he could sink in the earth. They were looking for the three marks which were on the distance of one Yojan each. And there was a point where one had to die, then only one could get the Kavach. In spite of taking care of the land Dishaantar fell in that part of land where he started sinking in the earth. Chandragupt was going

Shashaank told him that he was Dishaantar and he was helping them. Aambheek asked - "Where is Kaaleecharan?" "Kaaleecharan? Who Kaaleecharan?" Aambheek looked here and there and noticed Kaaleecharan's sword with them, so he said - "But you have his sword with you. Kill Chandragupt." But nobody got ready to kill Chandragupt, rather they all ran away from there. They took Dishaantar with them and got separated from each other. At the end of the forest they came to a river.
