Venkatanaatha goes to Kaveripatnam

Soon news comes that Saraswati is matured. So V and Saraswati spend their first night together. ST gives opinion to Gururaja to allow V to take care of a vidyapeeta after Gururaja himself declares unfit for such a role but Gururaja tells ST that V too is unfit although V agrees. ST indicates that family issues might arise due to family now being big but Gururaja does not think so.

One day Gururaja asks V to take care of a field work. But seeing 2 disciples running away from Vidya peeta, V is way laid and in turn starts helping them out with their studies. Gururaja comes to the field and does not see V anywhere. He is extremely angered and scolds V at end of day in front of all family members. Gururaja’s wife is not happy about Gururaja’s anger.

V’s wife is sad about the humiliation. She suggests staying apart. V tells her about ST’s offer of staying in Kaveripatnam. V’s wife likes the idea. Eavesdropping this, V’s mom tells Gururaja about dissecting the family into two homes. Gururaja is shocked but is unable to convince. So, V, his wife and his mom move to Kaveripatnam.

In Kaveripatnam, the current residents still remember Kanakachala Bhatt and his son Thimmanna Bhat who is V’s father. They speak highly of the two. Nostalgia makes V and his mom sad. They are given a place of shelter – same as the place where Kanakachala Bhat stayed. V and his wife clean the house and make themselves home.

Due to V’s policy of not taking any gifts from others, he is soon bereft of money and food and hunger strikes the family. V is unable to make enough from Vidya Peeta. Seeing this, Gururaja sends stuff. V rejects. V’s rich in-laws send stuff. V rejects. The in-laws complain to V’s brother-in-law and sister who visit V to convince him that accepting stuff is not wrong esp when a family of wife and mother is dependent on him. After hours of debate, V is finally convinced that what he is doing is wrong and hence accepts the stuff from his brother. After a long duration, V’s wife and mom have a nice dinner.
