Years pass, Jay & Vijay turn into gallants, and it is time to crown him. It begrudges Rudrasimha, who ruses to assassinate Jayasimha.

Now, Rudrasimha is about to onset on Magadha when Durgadevi bars him, but he deafens his ears by shooting her down. Jayasimha alone enters the battlefield and bows his head before his uncle.
