Dadda Chalukya hopes to find the conspirators soon.
Shobhna asks Dadda to question Pranlal regarding the conspirators.
Dadda challenges Pranlal to a duel: if Pranlal won, he could leave otherwise he would have to reveal the name of the conspirators. Dadda asks a soldier to bring two swords.
Before handing over the swords to Dadda, Jaydutt, one of the palace guards, applies a solution on the sword.
Pranlal duels wth Dadda but faints when Dadda injures him. A shocked Dadda summons the Rajvaidya.
Jaydutt reveals the motive behind applying the solution on the sword. The solution would tranquilize Pranlal and render him incapable of revealing the truth to Dadda.When Bhanuman learns about it, he kills Jaydutt and Akhlind for losing a golden opportunity to kill Pranlal.
Dadda decides to leave for Tankaria immediately to stop Rudrabhadra from organizing the ceremony to select the Devdasis. As Dadda had feared, Rudrabhadra's act destroys several families.
