Pinaka and Krishna Chandra went to empress Chandramathi's (Pinaka's mother )chambers.. Samyukta was sitting on a chair and empress Padmini (Samyukta's mother) was oiling her hair while empress Chandramathi was feeding Samyukta some dry fruits.. this scene moved Krishna Chandra's heart.. he felt that though this marriage had political benefits, he couldn't have found a more loving house than this for his darling daughter.. everyone had a cheerful conversation.. emperor Surya Gupta finished his council meeting and came in to meet everyone.. he said, 'so, shall we call our Raj Guru* to set an auspicious day for the marriage? ' everyone cheered in agreement.. Samyukta smiled shyly.. she blushed attractively.. Pinaka's heart missed a beat..

Meanwhile the nine day celebrations of Dusshera festival in the Gupta empire continued, the public was ensured of the well being of Princess Samyukta.. the festivities were being continued on a grand scale.. but each and every individual was being checked and their ident.i.ty was being confirmed before entering the palace and the celebration arena..

Note: Raj Guru is the t.i.tle given to family priest of the Royal Family. In ancient India Raj Gurus played a very important role in the education of the Royal kids and also helped the kings and emperors in making critical decisions of the empire. Mythological references of Raj Guru Vasishta and Raj Guru Dronacharya from the epics Ramayana and Mahabharata prove it.
