It was morning. The daan ceremony had started. Ayanika was standing behind Rajmata, looking at the joyous crowd, dressed in royal red color saree with matching jewelleries. Sivagammi was distributing the gifts among the subjects. Ayanika was searching the crowd for Amarendra.

Ayanika- (thinking) where is Amar Bhaiya? It is time for him to come and do the daan.

Suddenly, two kids are seen higher than the rest with 4-5 lotus in her hand. The crowd also around and gasps. Amarendra was carrying the two children on his shoulders. He starts moving forward and the crowds creates the way for him. Once they reach near the podium, he puts the kids down who give the lotuses to Sivagammi, which she takes smilingly. She looks towards Ayanika, who comes near her quietly and takes the lotuses. As she is about to leave, she feels a tug at her saree. She looks down and sees both the children tugging her saree. She kneels down.

Ayanika- (looking at the children)What happened, kids? Why are you tugging my saree?

They look at Amar, who nods his head to say yes. One of the children runs towards the horse on which Amar was sitting and manages to get the flower basket out of the saddle with the help of a soldier. The child runs back and gives the flower basket to Ayanika. Ayanika takes the flower basket smiling and looks inside it. She sees it is full of Jasmine flowers. She smiles knowingly. She looks at the other child who was holding something in hand but it was behind back. She looks at the child who quietly brings the flower in front and holds it up to her. Ayanika lets a gasp out. It is Brahma Kamal, one her fav flowers. She looks up Amar as if to ask where did he get it from? Amar just smiles in response.

Flashback

Amar and Ayanika were sitting under a tree in Rishi Gyanvas Ashram. They were talking about day-to-day life when Ayanika felt something falling on her head. She put her hand on her head. She saw it was jasmine flower. She got confused.

Ayanika- Bhaiya, do you know where did this jasmine flower come from?

Amar just shurgs in response. Suddenly it started raining jasmine flowers on her. She looks up and sees another student of Gurukul raining jasmine flowers on her. She smiles at him and gestures him to come near her.

Ayanika- Akanksh, why were you raining jasmine on me?

Akanksh- Because you are going to be the queen.

Ayanika-(raises one eyebrow) Queen?

Akanksh-Yes, Queen.

Ayanika- Of which kingdom?

Akanksh- of my heart and my people, the Queen of Prayagirajyam.

Ayanika- Heh? Have you gone mad?

Akanksh- (looks intensively in her eyes)Yes, you are going to be the Queen of Prayagirajyam, where people will tell that their prince heart is in the heart of Mahishmati princess. (smiles)

Ayanika starts blushing. Akanksh comes near her and holds a Brahma Kamal. Ayanika just looks at him with surprise.

Akanksh- Will you allow my heart to be in your heart for the rest of my life?

Ayanika smiles and quietly takes the flower in her hand.

Ayanika- I will give you the answer by the end of our Gurukul.

She leaves from their blushing.

Flashback ends

She takes the Brahma Kamal from the child's hand, smiling and puts it in the flower basket. She goes and stand behind Sivagammi. Amar looks at Sivagammi who indicates him to sit on the throne. He goes and sit on the throne in style.

Crowd- BAHUBALI JAI HO!

The crowds chanting was reaching the ears of Bijjaladeva who was drinking alcohol to his hearts content in his room. Bhalla was sitting on chair lost in deep thought. Around them, the royal priest and their loyalists were sitting or standing. Hearing Bahubali's glorious chants, Bijjaladeva was getting angry.

Bijjaladeva- (snickering) Hmm Rajmata... Sivagammi (spitting)

Goes near Bhalladeva in his stupor.

Bijjaladeva- Bhalla, did you ever feel that you want to kill your mother?

Everyone present in the room gets shocked.

Bijjaladeva- I felt that way (Bhalla just looks at him with shock) The lap which you only had the right to, when they took birth gave her half lap to them. This was the first time I felt the urge to kill her.Dividing the Jewelleries, division in royal powers, and also dividing the rights too. When she was giving half of everything to them, at that time I felt like taking her life. And now when this throne is being given to Amarendra, I feeling like breaking her neck with these hands. (Bhalla is just staring at him) Why Bhalla, let's kill her?

Everyone is just standing in tension as to what will Bhalla say.

Bhalla- (quietly takes the glass out of his hand)This is your alcohol speaking, Pitaji.

Everyone takes a sigh of relief.

Bijjaladeva- (trying to control his anger)Your mother's pet dog has come. (they both look towards the door).

Kattapa enters the room. Bijjaladeva goes and takes his sit and starts drinking alcohol. Kattapa salutes.

Bijjaladeva- What happened dog? What have you come here to bark?

Kattapa- Prabhu...

Everyone chuckles.

Kattapa- In the upcoming VijayaDashmi, Bahubali's crowning ceremony will be done.

Bijjaladeva chokes on his alcohol.

Kattapa- This was order of Rajmata to break the news first to you.

Bijjaladeva- (throwing the wine glass down and getting up)That day also this happened. First my throne given to my younger brother, Mahadeva. And now my son's throne is being given to the son of the same brother.And now my son, his son and their sons, will we only do slavery? Why dog (holding the steel necklace on Kattapa's neck) now tell me why I was not made the King? (leaves the necklace and throws his Angvastra down) Is it due to the fact that I have an hand which is physically disabled. Even if I don't have one hand but I have this iron hand. This iron hand will take iron. (punches a pillar)

A part of the pillar breaks into pieces due to the force of punch. Everyone gets scared. Bijjaladeva starts panting and supports himself on the brocken part of the pillar.

Kattapa- The reason for you not becoming the king is not your physically disabled arm Prabhu, but your physically disabled brain.

Everyone just looks at Kattapa in shock. Some even start going near him to punish him.

Sethupati- AGYA PRABU! (takes out his sword)

Bijjaladeva- Why dog? The person who tells bad things about royal family, will have his tongue cut. Did you forget?

Kattapa- Forgive me Prabhu. The person who thinks about killing his own wife, That person's brain is not physically disabled then what is it?

Bijjaladeva steps back in shock. Everyone in the room freezes in their tracks. Sethupati drops his sword.

Bijjaladeva- You head it?

Kattapa- No Prabhu. I am dog right, I smelled it.

Bijjaladeva gets more shocked. Bhalla supports his back on the back of the seat. Kattapa salutes them and leaves.

Sivagammi was looking at proposals of marriages for Amar coming from different kingdoms. But she was rejecting them all. Kattapa looks at this smiles. He remembers the words which Ayanika had said to him after the daan.

Flashback

Ayanika- Mama has the marriage proposals started coming for Amar Bhaiya?

Kattapa- Yes, and no princess is less than the other. Even the Princess of Pataliputra, Varuni, has sent marriage proposal. It is said that she is the most beautiful princess in this entire Bharatvarsh.

Ayanika- Then she will definitely get rejected.

Kattapa- Why is that Ayu?

Ayanika- Rajmata wants lady who will be fit to be the queen of Mahismati not only Amar bhaiya's wife. That's why Varuni will get rejected.

Kattapa- Let's hope you are correct.

Ayanika- In matters related to Rajmata, I am always correct.

Flashback ends

Sivagammi- I want such a girl who is not only fit to be the wife of Bahu but also the Queen of Mahishmati. There should be no reason to point finger at her.

After sometime, Amar and Ayanika both enter the room.

Amar- Ma, you called us?

Sivagammi- Yes. Amar you need to tour the Kingdom now.

Amar- Yes, Ma.

Coutier- Rajmata, the date of crowning ceremony is coming near. I feel it is not the correct time go for Kingdom tour.

Sivagammi- Why is the idol of lord taken out of the sanctum sanctorum, and toured around, Mantrivar? So that the happiness and sorrow of people is seen by the lord himself. (everyone bows their heads down and Sivagammi looks at Amar) Bahu, when the going-to-be crowned King goes out of the palace then only he gets to know the sorrow and happiness of his subjects. Bahu go on this Vijay Path Yatra. (Ayanika just smiles)

Amar- Ji Ma.

Sivagammi- Take Kattapa along with you.

Kattapa- Jo Agya

Amar- Why this old man, Ma? I have been listening to the same stories told by him, which has eaten my head away. (smiles)

Sivagammi- (chuckling) Bear him once more. By the time you come back, I will find a princess for you, from whom you will listen beautiful stories.

He smiles and goes forward to take her Ashirwad. She lovingly caress his hair. Then he turns to go with Kattapa when Ayanika stops him.

Ayanika- Show me your wrist.

Amar puts his hand forward. Ayanika ties red colour thread on it.

Amar- (smiles) what is this Ayu and why are you tying it on my wrist?

Ayanika- This is Raksha Mouli Bhaiya. It will protect from evil eyes and danger.

Amar- Now may I take your leave?

Ayanika gives him hug and then Amar leaves.

Sivagammi- Ayu...

Ayanika- Ji Mata..

Sivagammi- Do you know who Chandra-Nayan?

Ayanika- (hesitates)No.. No I don't know Mata.

Sivagammi- He is popular among our subjects and I want to meet him once.

Ayanika- Why Mata?

Sivagammi- Because I feel he is suitable for the post I am thinking to make in the court.

Ayanika- What is the post Mata?

Sivagammi- I will decide after I after I meet him.

Ayanika- Ji Maata. So what is your order?

Sivagammi- Bring Chandra-Nayan in front of me.

Ayanika-Jo Agya Maata.

She does Pranaam and leaves.

Who is Chandra-Nayan? What is going to happen in Vijay Path Yatra?
