चन्दनदास had given shelter to राक्षस’s family in his house. When चाणक्य asks him about this, he reluctantly agrees that he had helped राक्षस in the past, and adds that they had left his house since then. When चाणक्य asks him where they had gone, चन्दनदास says he does not know their whereabouts. चाणक्य reminds him that चन्द्रगुप्त gives severe punishment to those who oppose him. चाणक्य threatens चन्दनदास and his family members may lose their, life in this matter.
