Dream fulfilled

TB wakes up suddenly and remembers the dream he had just had. He is a shocked state. At dawn, he informs Gopika to get Gururaja married as time is nearing end. Gopika doesn’t understand but is joyous about son’s wedding. Daughter is already married to a Vidwan in the King’s court.

Conversations ensue in the household to hunt a bride for Gururaja. Finally they decide on Gopika’s brother’s daughter Kamala.

When one day TB is drawing water from the well, Vijayendra Theertha again flashes in front of him and again reminds him that TB has not yet taught the sacred and secret rendition to V. Vijayendra Theertha also says that this act will suffice TB’s gurudakshina to Vijayendra Theertha. TB apologises the delay and immediately arranges next day to have the house empty. During that time, TB informs V about the sacred and secret Gaandhaara song in the Kalyani raga and its specialties (to be sung only twice in lifetime, and not to be taught to anyone, etc). He also tells V how he won in the Thanjavur concert. With deep concentration, V learns this sacred song.
