As soon as he gains knowledge about this, Isavaka moves forward to the the Aryavarta of Draryavirda. This huge country Draryavirda is divided into two parts: north as Aryavarta and south as Dravidana. Catching the very next train to Ayodhya, a province of Aryavarta, where the legendary Ram Mandir was built and inaugurated by the Maha-Pratha and Praant-Pratha. There are stories which were circulated that the temple is renovated for that the Ekha veera, one of the seven heroes, to have the hero's awakening.
As soon as he reaches the temple, he moves forward by breaking the line to the Pujaris of the temple.
"Pandit ji, I am Isavaka from Tenali, a province of Dravidana. Please let me be the temple guard for the next three days. I have heard from a senior in Aastrana that one who successfully serves as the Temple guard for three days has a chance of reappearing in the selection of Aastrana. Plese, let me be the temple guardian Pandit ji."
"Hahaha... this is first time in years that a person has come so far for that offer. First come aside for the devotees to worship the Lord."
Walking aside, Isavaka with his uncontrollable enthusiasm asks, " Pandit ji, am I getting any special armor or something? Will I have people assisting me in this job? Am I-"
"Control young boy, the Temple guards are going on an off on your duty days. You will require assistance if someone tries to commit robbery in the temple and for that reason I am giving you this." Handing a orb in his hand, the Pandit continues, "When you break this orb, the local defenders will come from the nearest guilds will come for your help. Go for it Isavaka."
Listening the Pandit's description of his job for next three days and three nights, he jumped with enthusiasm and was ordered to come back at the closing hours of the temple and was told to find and inform the closest guild about your presence for the next three days.
As he walked away from the temple for searching the local guilds, he bumped into a aged man. He handed a hand for the aged guy to get up. "I have never seen you before. Are you a tourist here?" asked the old man. Isavaka replies by telling him everything what happened till then. The man laughed and introduced himself, "My name Ravi, I am the Dhanush Pratha. Whenever you break that orb, I will come to the Temple gates before those guilds. This is my promise Isavaka."
With glimpse of heightened confidence, he passed the same message of the Pandit to the local guild. The sun starts drowning in the Ganga and Isavaka rushes to the Pandit to take his duty as the Temple guard for the next 72 hours.
