Thimmanna Bhat Dies

Sons arrive and TB asks Gopika for privacy. Gopika leaves crying. TB advises sons to take care of themselves. He says this might be the last chance for him to speak freely lest his body fails further. He asks Gururaja to take care of V and also to become a famous pundit after undergoing studies with Sudheendra Theertha. He also informs how in near future there is going to be a massive change in the world, where atheists will become theists and miracles defy science. Gururaja says he cannot understand, but TB hints that the answer is within the room. But neither Gururaja nor V understand the significance that the answer is V. TB advises further and asks them to be truthful and lead life honestly. He says that he can see his end and both sons are crying.

At night, TB hears Vijayendra Theertha saying that he has done all he has to do in life, so he might as well move on. TB wakes up and almost bids farewell to all his dearest – the idols, the veena instrument, etc. With love, he plays the veena and prays to God. Hearing the song, all in the family come and see him. TB finishes his singing. He remembers his entire life. He rests his head on the veena and then breathes his last. In the mid of night, Vijayendra Theertha – at his resting place - realizes that TB is dead and wakes up and wishes him well. TB is cremated.
