Thimmanna Bhat gets a Dream

V’s antics and miracles are endless. His interests in theology are insatiable and the unanswerable questions keep coming. When he is sleeping one night, TB and Gopika see radiance in this face never seen before. They wonder what different they did in bringing him up that he has become so different from his siblings but couldn’t pinpoint on anything.

One night, TB sees Vijayendra Theertha in his dream. During the musical concert in Thanjavur that TB had participated and won (a face-saving event because Thanjavur was losing to a competitor) long time ago, TB had learnt a divine rendition called Gaandhaara Graama in Kalyani Raaga. It was this song that he had sung in Thanjavur to ultimately win the tournament. But the fact of the matter was that he had learnt this rendition from Vijayendra Theertha himself who had taught him (rather helped him in singing it in the Thanjavur concert). Vijayendra Theertha also had told him not to teach this rendition to anyone until and unless he gives permission and even if taught, it should not be sung more than twice in the entire lifetime. TB’s one-time is already used up during the concert. The second time, Vijayendra Theertha orders him in the dream, TB is to teach this rendition to V. Vijayendra Theertha also informs that time is nearing completion and tasks have to be done in a hurry. Thus the dream ends.
