During the third challenge, Rama cuts the queen's fingernail. The challenge is to divide the queen into two parts. And so, Rama divides her as one part, her fingernail, while the other part, the queen herself. The entire Vijaynagar court cheers for Rama as he has managed to accomplish all the three challenges. Meanwhile, Rama asks Raghavan to never think of sacrificing his life. Rama also asks Raghavan to stay back in Vijaynagar as people would be happy to have company of an intelligent man like him.
