The chapter opens with a flashback to the battle between the Pandava and the Pandayu. The Pandayu is defeated, but the battle is still on. Pandayu tells the story of how his stepmother helped him learn about the training grounds, and how he asked her for help when he was called upon to fight. He says that he has etched the name of the enemy into his heart, and that if the decree were lifted, he would be able to join forces with them. He asks if this would be worth it, since his parents would never praise him. The flashback continues with a discussion of the court case, which is still in session. The court case is about the legality of the decree, not about whether or not Pandayu defeated the monster on the peak. The only way to win this case is to prove that the decree was a fraud, not a valid theory. If they want to win the case, they have to prove the validity of the decrees themselves. The group decides to lure the monsters off of cliffs. They place spiked logs on the bottom of the cliffs, which open wounds and kill them for good.
