Needless to say, Venkatanaatha wins the battle. It is a high strung battle of wisdom and knowledge. The debate goes on for hours but ultimately Venkatanaatha wins. The King of Madurai is much honored to have him in his city and honours him and asks him to sing a song for him. Venkatanaatha obliges.
Meanwhile, there is much talk of V’s wedding. V keeps saying no but his family keeps insisting him. Then one day, Surendra Theertha Swamy comes in V’s dream and asks him why he is saying no to wedding. To this, V says that V knows he is destined to become a Swami one day, renouncing life- so why to waste a girl’s life. To this, S says that it is but fate for the young lady to let go of her husband and it is also destined for V to marry in this life and overcome the lust of marriage. V once more pleads that it is not right for him to marry a girl despite knowing his future but S says that V is becoming self centric and egoistic to solve all of world’s problems. This shames V. He suddenly wakes up to feel a change in him. As a surprise to all, he agrees to see the girl. Very soon, his marriage takes place but since the girl Saraswati is a minor, she is asked to stay in her mom’s place and V is asked to learn higher Vedic concepts under the tutelage of Surendra Theertha Swamy.
