"guru Shri, what is establishing righteousness?" Kaurvaki asked in her mediating pose. Guru Kamlika smiled, "Dharma, this whole universe works on Dharma, righteousness was first brought into the world by Lord Shri Ram, Sita husband and king of Ayodhya, Rama!" Kaurvaki loved hearing the divine tales of SiyaRam and Shri RadhaKrishna it always filled her mind with many images and questions. But something about Lakshmi made her feel uneasy. "Guru Shri, I know all this, why must I hear it repeatedly?" Kaurvaki questioned slightly annoyed. "because, these stories are ancient scriptures written in our history for thousands of years, this is an essential learning point for all Hindu and whomever remember this they always find a way to get out of difficult problems and find a way to deal with life!" Guru Shri explained. 

Kaurvaki questioned once more, "but I am not Hindu why is this necessary for me?" Guru Shri stated Kaurvaki is a really good learner as she questioned many things. Kaurvaki was about to enter the next level of her learning. "guru Shri, my wedding is coming soon, will you come?" Kaurvaki offered. "of course, who is it you are to marry?" Kamlika asked curiously. "besides from Ashok, who else could it be, right?" Kaurvaki stated proudly. Kamlika shook her head in disagreement, Kaurvaki looked confused. "guru Shri are you not pleased with this news?" Kaurvaki asked sadly. "not necessarily your marriage to Ashok is impossible, you're at stake if your married to him!" Guru Kamlika explained. Kaurvaki excused herself from her guru's ashram! She needed to clear her mind.

"if I don't marry Ashok then ill remain pure, what is this?" Kaurvaki thought returning from the forest she walked into the royal palace and went into the kitchen. She saw rani Shubhadrangi instruct some kitchen staff and organise massive lines to the royal hall for the banquet! Kaurvaki picked up an apple and headed out, not by getting a glimpse from Rani Dharma first.
