Episode 45
5 Years Before in Greek Camp on the Banks of Sindhu River
Seleukas reported Alexander that discontentment was on increase in the army, so what is the use of such a world victory?
Alexader said - "We have come out for world victory so we will do the same. We will go to East and host our flag on Macedonia."
It is said that Greek soldiers were in however much uttermost disappointment, they used to wake up on Alexander's one call. They came to Gaandhaar easily. Then they won small kingdoms for one year and then camped on tyhe banks of Jhelam River.

Chaanakya ordered Chandragupt to get trained, because without Alexander they could not kill Nand. Sinharan was training Chandragupt. When Alexander attacked Poras, Poras fought with a great bravery. Alexander alo was very impressed with his bravery. Later Alexander returned Poras' kingdom to him, but he was continuously proceeding forward. Now he had arrived on the banks of Vyaas River and killed the people in thousands. Then he came across Vyaas in Ganges plains.

Chandragupt Joins Alexander's Army
Chaanakya's policy was - "If you cannot win somebody from outside, then win him from entering inside."
So Chandragupt joined Alexander's army. Once some Indians came to fight with him, but he did not fight them in turn, rather he lectured them that thy should also learn to fight for their motherland.

Chaanakya told Chandragupt that one should neither be worried for past, nor one should be anxious for the future. One should improve only his present.
Chandragupt said - "One and half years have passed since I have joined Greek army."
Chaanakya said - "Keep patience and control. Till there is control on the burning fire in our heart we can make use of it, but if it blazes up, it burns us. When there are several problems in the house, first one should solve the bigger one."
Chandragupt reacted - "Aachaarya, How we can push these Yavan back, so that we can reach to Nand."
Chaanakya said - "We will find some way to do that."

Chaanakya's Policy
Greek were not able to cross Vyaas River, because their army had got very tired. Alexander ordered his army to cross Vyaas River in a week time. Chaanakya took the help of his policy to stop Alexander to cross Vyaas River. He thought that Alexander should not cross Vyaas River, because if he did that there will be a great harm. They are very self-confident, so let us make them lose their self-confidence. We will use Tri-Kantak policy."
Chandragupt asked - "What is this Tri-Kantak policy?"
Chaanakya said - "First, Whoever Indian soldiers are in Alexander's army, we should explain to them that their duty is towards India. Who were you fighting for? To your brothers? Second, create a fear in Yavan's army by blind belief and bad omens. Although it is not easy, but we have to do it."
Chandragupt said - "But his army stands up on his one voice, so his army will trust on him, not on us."
Chaankya suggested - "Then do this on Alexander first."
Indradatt said - "Yavan fear from God."
Chaanakya said - "Break their this belief. When here is no Indian soldier in Alexander army, spread any kind of rumor in the name of Dhanaanand. Yavan know that here Magadh is the most powerful kingdom. Spread the stories of its bravery. When there two powerful enemies, keep both of them in fron of the other. Tell then the story of Magadh's Taantrik powers. Scare them with Maurya."
Chandragupt asked - "Who is this Maurya?"
Chaanakya said - "You, the son of Muraa. Nobody knows him today but tomorrow the whole history will remember him."

Episode 46
Chandragupt Scares Alexander of Local Gods
Chandragupt said to Alexander - "There are many people, called Maurya in Magadh. They are very big Taantrik. They fight and disappear in the form of smoke. One of them was coming to finish us all, he killed some but he left me so that I should tell you about this. The anger of their Devtaa will burn the whole Greek to ashes."
Alexander asked - "Are you speaking truth?"
Chandragupt defended - "If you don't believe me, you may check yourself."
Alexander said - "I don't trust this. Next week we are going to cross Vyaas River."
If a fire is set in their weapon's store then it will not be difficult to convince them that the gods of this land will destroy them.
Alexander said - "I will first verify your information, and if it was wrong, I will kill you."

Nand Invites Kings to Get Some Money
Dhanaanad asked Amaatya to invites all kings to Magadh to get some money from them. All kings had come on his invitation.
Dhanaanand said to Amaatya - "According to our planning all kings have come. But where is Chaanakya? 4 years, 3 months and 22 days have passed, but Chaanakya is not found yet. What has happened to him?"
Dhanaanad said to the coming kings - "He who, the foreigner, is standing across Vyaas River, his name is Alexander. He has defeated even Poras, then what are you? That is why we have decide to take action for your security. For it you will have to some money. Do you know that why he has not crossed Vyaas River? Because he knows that this side of Vyaas River is Magadh. You will live here for three days. Live here comfortably."
Dhanaanad said to Amaatya in private - "First scare them of Alexander, and then instigate them for friendship and who does not agree on both these points.....
Thus Nand was asking the kings to sign on Security or Friendship papers, but he felt that kings were not ready to sign them.
He was thinking how to do it, at the same time he heard some humming and he got attracted to that sound.

Chandragupt Creates Fear of Maurya in Alexander
Food was not good for Indian soldiers in the army of Alexander. Chandragupt caught some snakes and released them where the soldiers used to sleep. One soldier died of snake bite. Their flag also fell. Alexander was told by his Yavan soldiers that whatever that Indian soldier was telling, he was speaking truth. Nand has come and our flag is not at its place. Alexander enquired his soldiers about all this, they told that their flag was burning. Now this rumor spread in the whole camp that Maurya has done all this. Alexander ordered to arrest that Maurya.

Chaanakya said - "While implementing the plan, I keep two things in my mind - aim is good, and there should be a necessity to make a fatal weapon. Nobody is intelligent extraordinarily. In the game of politics, the ruler has his own understanding, one has to see just that who is that ruler? Poras is also not happy. One should keep alternatives. Chandraupt is doing his own work, we will also do our own work. If you cannot influence the King, then control that man who can control the King's ideas."
Indradatt said to Chaanakya - "Alexander has a philosopher Calasthenese, whom he regards very much."
Chaanakya said - "Then call a Gyaan Sabhaa (Knowledge Meeting). Invite that philosopher also in that conference, telling him that we want to see him."

In Alexander's camp, nobody was ready to believe this that it was the act of some Maurya, but still these incidents happened. They could not refuse them. They were considering them as bad omens and the message of Devtaa. They were thinking that "maybe Greece needs the King". Calasthenese was also in the doubt for Alexander's victory. So Alexander's people started looking for Maurya. But in spite of being present there they could not see him (he was Chandragupt only, so how could they see him? He was one of the soldiers from among them).

When they were looking for Maurya, they could not see Maurya, but they found some girls, so they ran away here and there. Chandragupt killed one of them and leaving the rest he also ran away. The girls also ran away. As they were running away, Mrignayanee fell on the ground. Chandragupt saved her. Some soldiers also came there, but Chandragupt killed all of them except one. He wanted to take away Mrignayanee from there but she did not go with him, she said - "You are a killer."
Chandragupt said - "But I killed them to save you only."
Mrignayanee said - "To save one's life to take others' lives is inhuman."

The time came for Chaanakya to meet Calasthenese. He could change Alexander's ideas. Chaankya planned to teach politics to Calasthenese and change his ideas. Chandragupt's efforts to frighten Alaxander and Calasthenese's efforts to change his ideas will not let him proceed crossing Vyaas River.

The man who escaped from Maurya's attack, told Alexander that Maurya had killed all of their soldiers.
Alexander said - "You look for a young soldier from Sakaalaa, rest I will see."

Episode 47
Mrignayanee is Missing
She was Mrignayanee, the Princess of Karavaasaa, the granddaughter of the King of Karavaasaa Chitrasen. He got attracted to her. She was playing with a rabbit that it went near the feat of Nand. He was about to kill  him that she spoke - "One should not a dumb animal. To whom he will lodge your complain?" Nand said - "I will not do so in future, and if anybody else will do it, I will punish him." Mrignayanee said - "Why punishment? One can explain it with love too."

People were not believing in Alexander;s camp that this all was work of some maurya, but still the event occurred and it was work of somebody. People were considering it as a bad omen and the message sent by Devtaa. They were saying - "It might be possible that Greece needs our Emperor. Calasthenese was also doubtful of Alexander's victory. Alexander's people were searching for Maurya but they could not see him although he was there. But they found some girls around, so they ran away from there, but Chandragupt caught one and killed him and left the rest. He also ran away from there.

Those girls also ran away from there. While  those girls were running away, Mrignayanee fell down . Chandragupt lifted her and brought her under a tree. Some more soldiers came there. Chandragupt killed all of them, but one escaped. Chandragupt wanted to take Mrignayanee with him for her safety, but Mrignayanee did not go with him saying that he was a killer.
Chandragupt said to Mrignayanee that he killed that to save Mrignayanee.
Mrignayanee said - "It is inhuman to save someone by killing someone else."
As Mrignayanee was missing, Nand said - "Search for Mrignayanee."

Somebody told Chaanakya that there was a philosopher named Calasthenese in Alexander's camp, so he asked the time to see him, thinking that he should be the man of understanding, so he could change Alexander's ideas. HChaanakya said - "We will tell him about Politics and he will change the ideas od Alexander. The fight of Chandragupt and the effect of Calasthenese's ideas will be able to change the ideas of Alexander and then Alexander will not be able to cross River Vyaas."

A Yavan soldier told Alexander that Maurya had killed our all soldiers of a small group. Alexander orders him to that boy soldier and says that he would also search for him. Yavan soldiers ordered Indian soldiers to search for that Sakaalaa soldier.

Episode 48
Chaanaky's Plan to Disturb Alexander's Army
Gyaan Sabhaa (conference) was in process. Calasthenese also attends the conference, Chaanakya and Indradatt are also there. Chaanakya's ideas were so much mesmerizing that most people used to agree with his ideas.

Chandragupt left Mrignayanee there. He takes the weapons of all those soldiers. Mrignayanee returned to Paataliputra. When Nand heard that Mrignayanee had returned, he came to know that a brave man saved her from Yavan soldiers, he immediately ordered that that brave man should be present to him so that he can award him. That man went to Chandragupt and delivered him Nand's message that he wanted to see him. So Chandragupt went to see him.

At the same time Amaatya came and reported that Chaanakya's whereabouts are known now. He was making preparations to fight with Alexander.
Nand said to Chandragupt - "You are very auspicious for us, because I am getting good news. What is your name?"
Chandragupt rep[lied - "Maurya."
Nand exclaimed - "What type of name is this? Do you tend More (peacocks)?"
Chandragupt said - "Yes, I am the son of this land and my duty is to protect this land from foreign people."
Amaatya kept looking at Maurya. He felt that he had seen him somewhere.
Nand said - "Leave him, and arrest ====
Nand allowed Chandragupt to take his chariot, so Chandragupt took his chariot and came back to his camp.

Chaanakya said - "We will devise some way for Yavan that they would not be able to stay back here." But Nand did not come here to fight with Alexander. He came here only to take tax from the kings, just by showing them the fear of Alexander.

Chaanakya suggested to his people - "Chandragupt will instigate the Indian soldiers. Army Chief Simharan will gather all of them. Sin is only one, and that is theft. You may take Maurya's name for this theft.
In those days a disease which was was spread by rats was spreading around, so Chaanakya thought to take its help.
He said to Indradatt - "I need one infected mouse."
Chaanakya told Calasthenese that the King is God, whether he does right or wrong, only God knows. He tells good omen or bad omen according to his opinion."

When Chandragupt came back in a royal chariot, Chaanakya got very surprised to see him, he asked him - "Where did you get this chariot?"
But Chandragupt lied and said - "I have a doubt. When I was fighting with Yavan, Indians were repeatedly calling me killer, cruel and violent and uncivilized."
Chaanakya said - "You are not a killer. Destiny has chosen you for this work. The main thing in ana army is their food and water. If their food and water becomes spoiled they all get disturbed. So we will disorganize this system."
