Devasena meets Kattappa to catch up on Ammu's tales. She leans back on the sofa with one hand behind to support her and other hand rubbing her belly as Kattappa begins his narration.

Sivagami in a meeting with the ministers,

"Rajamatha, it is time either of the prince ascend the throne and rule Mahishmati."

Si: You are right Mantri but I am confused on whom I should crown as both of them are eligible.

"Rajamatha, I have a suggestion. Why not keep a set of tests for the princes and whoever clears through all successfully be crowned the King ?"

Si: Yes. That would be appropriate. Dhandanayaka, summon Bhalla and Baahu.

Sivagami explains the rules and the tests to be conducted to both her sons. However both of them excelled  equally in all the tests thus giving a tough time to Sivagami to decide. Then is when they get the news of Sakethudu sharing their war secrets with Kalakeyas. After annihilating the Kalakeyas and Baahu is chosen as the King, life returns to normal in Mahishmathi. One day when Sivagami inspects the treasuries with her ministers she hears laughter and giggles of Baahu. Curious she steps out to see him playing blind man's buff with the girls. His eyes blindfolded, he moves his hands in the air trying to catch them but the mischievous girls use this as a chance to touch him playfully.

A: Hey girls ! I am the one who should catch you all.. oh no... pls.. pls...don't touch me if Amma sees she will get angry... yaaayyy I caught you ! Now it is your turn!

Sivagami smiles at the scene and it dawns upon her that her baby is no more a baby and calls her minister to her side.

Si: Begin the search for a bride for my Baahu. Send the word to the all the Kingdoms in alliance with Mahishmati. I will only select the girl for him.

The search for Ammu's bride begins. When the news reach Bijjala and Bhalla,

Bi: See your mother's partiality ! You are the eldest son, instead of getting you married first she wants to get that fella settled.

Bhalla with an evil smirk on his face and tracing his palm over a painting of the royal crown,

Bh: I am married nanna..

Bi: Huh ??

Bh: Married to the throne of Mahishmati. All I need now is to live with her. 😈

Sivagami sees numerous proposals for Ammu but none impressed her. She sends him on a tour and assures that she would find a princess for him by the time he returned. Ammu and Kattappa leave Mahishmati. They halt at a place for the night.

Ka: Baahu, Rajamatha said she would find a bride for you. You just smiled then. Don't you want to choose your bride ??

A: Amma knows what is best for me. I trust her.

Ka: But still.. you would have some expectations right ?

A: Expectations... mmm...aahhh.. you know the doll I used to hold when I was a baby ? Like that. Such intense eyes it had.
