Chanakya says that Helena and Chandra too should dress as commoners for their and Bindusar's safety. Helena and Chandra dress up as commoners and set off on their journey. A storm starts off and one of the soldiers tells Chandra that it will not be appropriate to travel in the storm with Bindusar. The man tells Chandra that they will take shelter in an Ashram close by.
Chandra and the rest reach at the Ashram. Helena taunts Bindusar for making her wet. Nandini also lands up at the same Ashram. Chandra remember their earlier journey in the rain where Nandini played in the rain like a child. Chandra and Nandini are close by but don't see each other.

An informer tells Nand about Chandra's arrival to Kalinga. Nand says he will kidnap Bindusar tonight itself. Amatya says that tonight is not a right time to attack as Chanakya has done good safety measures for them. Amatya says that the next day the Holi festival will be celebrated in the temple and they will kidnap Bindusar amid the festivities. The next day, Chandra reaches the temple where Holi is being celebrated. Chandra and Helena enter the Shiv temple together and Chandra makes Bindusar touch the Shiv ling.
