Episode 88
Durdharaa Goes Back to Paataliputra
Bhadrasaal comes to reach the place of Chaanakya and Chandragupt to save Rishyamukh. Meanwhile Ahiryaa takes Rishyamukh outside. Chaanakya sends Shashaank with Durdharaa for her safety. So Ahiryaa and Shashaank take Durdharaa, Meghaa and Rishyamukh (closed in a sack) in a cart. As Bhadrasaal comes searching for Rishyamukh he finds the cave empty.

Chaanakya said - "There are 3 basic colors, 5 basic tastes, but Chhadm Neeti is the mixture of all of them - its aim is to harm the enemy with the minimum human destruction."

When Ahiryaa was taking them, Durdharaa asked him - "What is in this sack?"  "A human being. We have to kill him."
Ahiryaa stopped his cart in a very dense place and both went away from the cart. Both Princess and her maid were afraid, so they got this opportunity to run away from there. They freed the man in the sack and they all ran away from there. In the meantime, Bhadrasaal and Gajabaahu also came there searching for Rishyamukh. They asked him the address of Chaanakya. he saw Durdharaa also, so he thought what Durdharaa was doing there in Raaj Griha? Rishyamukh told him that Chaanakya was going to attack the Fort day after tomorrow on Amaavasyaa Day. He has asked the help from some people who will come and climb the Fort and then they will control the Fort." Bhadrasaal went to the Fort taking all along with him.

Scheme of Chaanakya to Control Raaj Griha Fort
Ahiryaa and Shashaank reported Chaanakya everything. Chaanakya said - "This was our original planning but we will attack them tonight only. we will go inside through the main gate. We have a spy who will open the door for us, there inside the Fort. Good schemes make the impossible schemes possible. Today at midnight we will proceed towards the Gate hiding behind the cattle. Bhadrasaal must be busy in restructuring the security of the Fort. He is very proud of himself. He will not ask any help from Magadh, and at present he has a very few soldiers at the Gate. Chandragupt can kill them soon and send a message to our spy in the Fort. The spy will also send a message and will open the Gate of the Fort. Then you enter the Gate swiftly. This swift entrance will stun Bhadrasaal's soldiers. During the same moments we have to control that Fort. Chandragupt, You will blow the conch from the central place. Living in the scheme is the preparation of the scheme."

Chaanakya further said to Chandragupt - This scheme is very good but still sudden doubts must not be neglected. Every battlefield is different from our ideas, that is why you do not stick to our scheme, rather take the help of your own experience and education too in this regard. Today's attack is very important. Among the problems in this attack is included Bhadrasaal's Koot Neeti, because even after losing the battle, he must be having some alternative f his Koot Neeti. Today's failure will be the end of our efforts towards Nand's killing - this is hard truth and you must accept it. You have to prove yourself after defeating him only. Mind, your people are fewer and untrained in comparison of Nand's army." Chandragupt said - I take a vow, if I did not win this Fort, I will not come back."

When Rishyamukh told Bhadrasaal the scheme of Chaanakya to attack on Raag Graiha Fort, he also starting working on his scheme to face them. He said to his people - Tonight is the night of rest. If they have been successful in climbing the Fort wall, our Padaati will face them, and I will show that if we will use these useless people, we will be victorious."

A soldier came and handed over a letter to Bhadrasaal from Amaatya that Amaatya has got the message and now he is coming  with his army for the security of Durdharaa. Bhadrasaal thought - "Amaatya is coming to take the credit of my work skills? This cannot be." Angrily he threw that letter on the floor and went away to act on this news. Meghaa picked up that letter, read it and sent this information to Chaanakya through her pigeon. Chaanakya got the information. Chandragupt also came there, so Chaanakya said to him - "Amaatya is coming to Raaj Griha. If he had come there, then our ordinary soldiers will not be able to face those well trained soldiers. So we will have to think of some scheme to deal with this situation."

Episode 89
Durdharaa was thinking in her palace - "Was her father so cruel as Chandragupt told her?" Meghaa consoled her - "Don't think like that."
Chaanakya sent a message to Meghaa - "try to stop Amaatya coming here. If he will come here, he will be a great hurdle in our scheme. I am sure that Bhadrasaal will send some message to Amaatya. You intercept it, make it Durdharaa's message and send it to him that Amaatya should not come there. There is some information which she wants to tell him in the absence of Bhadrasaal. She would meet him on the top of the hill to tell him about the gold."

Bhadrasaal said - "We will take Durdharaa to Paataliputra, then what he will do here?" He sent this message to Amaatya and thought, "Now nobody can stop me arresting Chaanakya and Chandragupt and Amaatya will also go back." Meghaa heard all this. She intercepted this message of Bhadrasaal, wrote a new message to Amaatya, put the seal from Durdharaa's ring and met the messenger on the way. She collided with him, both he and his letter fell on the floor, as he stood up, Meghaa replaced his letter with her own and handed over to him. Thus she managed to send her own message to Amaatya through the same messenger. Meghaa burnt Bhadrasaal's message.

Seeing them dead Bhadrasaal thought that "his spy Rishyamukh has been recognized. Chaanakya will attack only today, so double the security of Durdharaa. It was not at all a chance to find Durdharaa there (in Chandragupt's camp). I think I know that who is the spy."

Reading the message of Durdharaa (sent by Meghaa) Amaatya thought that Bhadrasaal has done something fishy with Nand's gold and the Princess is coming to tell him the same.

Chaanakya said - "Now the Time has come. Now you are not only a warrior, but you are also a Chief Army Officer too, so inspire them to fight." Chandragupt delivered an inspirational speech to his army.

Bhadrasaal said to Durdharaa - "I know that we have a spy in our army. Today I will arrest Chaanakya and Chandragupt, but till they are free, this Fort is under emergency conditions, and you will not go out." Durdharaa said - "I will inform this to Mahaaraaj."
"Till you will reach Paataliputra, we cannot trust even you,  because we don't know if you are sending these messages to Chandragupt."

Soldiers saw some movement at distance in dark. Bhadrasaal said - "So my doubt was right. The time of fight has come now."
Meghaa now could not go out and her task was to open the gate.

Bhadrasaal was standing on the wall of the fort.
Meghaa was thinking what to do, so she shot her last arrow at Durdharaa, in the hope that perhaps her description might change her mind and she herself goes to open the door, so she said to her - "You wanted to know that how was your father. Now I tell you about him." and she told her all the same as Chandragupt told her when she was in Chandragupt's camp. Durdharaa said - "You are lying." "No, I am speaking the truth. Till your father is the King of Magadh, Magadh cannot be happy. Whoever will make them happy they have come outside to fight. This is the fire of riots and it is not going to put out without destroying the King. They will be dying. To save them from dying is to open the door of the fort. Now you decide what is right and what is wrong."

Chandragupt and Shashaank were killing the soldiers and were sending Agni Baan inside the fort as a message. Bhadrasaal thought to who they are sending their message, we have already kept them prisoner.

Victory is his who struggles in adverse circumstances.
Raakshas can do Tap, but they cannot do Bhakti and Yog. When Alexander was coming to India, his Guru said - "Bring a Gyaanee from India." So when Alexander was returning he searched for a Gyaanee. Accidentally he was Dandaayan Rishi. Alexander asked his soldiers to bring him to him, but the Rishi told them that he does not go anywhere, if he wants to meet him, he can come to him. Alexander himself went there, and requested him to come along with him to Greece, but Dandaayan refused to go along with him. Alexander asked "Why." He said - "You will not even reach Greece. You will die on the way." Alxander got stunned to hear this. He named him Diogenes (He was a Greek philosopher who died in 323 BC)

When the gate is not open, in spite of Shashaank's warning, Chandra himself climbs on the wall of the fort, with the help of the rope. Chandragupt falls down.

Episode 90
Chandragupt Wins Raaj Griha Fort
Durdharaa made some noise in her room so some guards came there to check what happened there, she and Meghaa killed all of them. Meghaa went to open the gate but could not open it, Then Durdharaa came there and she opened the gate. All soldiers came inside the fort. Bhadrasaal called his Padaati to fight. These Padaati were the people who were relations of Chandragupt's army, so now Chandragupt neither could go back from his mission, nor he could fight them. Chandragupt then decided to complete his mission and he fought with them too. As Durdharaa opened the gate she saw Chandragupt standing outside. Chaanakya also came there with a torch in his hand. The then Kaling traitors also came.

Chandragupt remembered Aachaarya's words - "When you find surrounded by enemies, run away, because if you will be alive you can get victory later also." Chaanakya gave a conch to Chandragupt to blow it from the high point of the fort, and gave a flag also to hoist it on the fort. A peacock was printed on the flag. Chandragupt asked - "Why peacock on my flag?" Chaanakya said - "There are two reasons for choosing this - (1) Peacock is the symbol of colors, life and prosperity. (2) Your mother told me that when your father's efforts against Nand gone waste, your people ran away from there, and started living  hiding themselves as the tend of peacocks, instead of showing them as Kshatriya. So this peacock will revive the symbol of your family symbol."

Outside Amaatya and his soldiers were seeing Chandragupt hoisting his flag and hearing blowing his conch. Thus this was the first victory of Chandragupt over Dhanaa Nand by taking over Raaj Griha.

Next morning Durdharaa came to see Chandragupt, Chandragupt asked her - "Why did you help us?"
Durdharaa said - "I love my father, but I will not support an Atyaachaaree. I cannot live without you. Whatever it is, good or bad, I have to live with you."
Chaanakya also came there. He said to Chandragupt - "This mission is not yet complete. Your soldiers are waiting for your orders. Protect them as their life is in danger." "What do I do now?"
Chaanakya said - "Leave this fort now."  Chandragupt asked - "Why, Why we have won it if we had to leave it?"
Chaanakya said - "We will leave this Fort so that your soldiers can trust that Nand's army can be defeated. Now this news will spread all around. But a wise man has to keep in mind that there insecurity in security. We cannot keep this Fort under our control, because we do not have resources to maintain, that is we should leave this Fort quietly and go somewhere at a secured place. Amaatya is still waiting outside with his army.

Amaatya was still looking at the flag and was mocking with Bhadrasaal that in spite of being so clever, tactful, and intelligent he could not save Raaj Griha Fort. Who was dreaming for Magadh Kingdom, he had lost even Raaj Griha.
Bhadrasaal said - "I came here for Durdharaa's security, but our this defeat is because of her only, because she had been helping Chandragupt from inside the palace." "But why will she do so?"
"Because she loves Chandragupt. If I will have to kill Chandragupt, then also I will kill him."

Both Amaatya and Chandragupt stopped their armies to fight with eaah other. Amaatya came to Chaanakya to talk to him and said - "After winning this Fort, you have become a traitor, so there is only fight between us now."  "We will fight with you till we are alive."
Amaatya said - "You will fight only then when you will be alive. You will all be killed here inside this Fort."
