On seeing Dharma catch Siamak steal the royal stamp, Sushim attacks her from behind and strangles her to death. Unaware of the incident, Ashoka and Bindusara, arrive at Dharma's quarters and find her asleep. Meantime, Sushim and Siamak manage to escape successfully through the window. Unaware of his mother's death, Ashoka shares his feelings with her by sitting next to her dead body. Elsewhere, Sushim and Siamak rejoice over Dharma's death.
