Mahadev reveals the truth

How Maha Shivaratri came to be

Sati is still lost in Shiva’s thoughts. Prasuti assures her husband that it’s only a passing phase and Sati will get over it. She advises Sati that she must be truthful and tell her father that she has given up the delusions about Shiva. Sati is confused by conflicting thoughts.

Prasuti tells Sati to be truthful

Sati confesses her love for Mahadev to her father. An angry Daksh creates a Daksh Rekha around her and tells her that she or Shiva must never cross it. Unhappy, Sati tries to burn herself by crossing the line. Mahadev stops her and reminds her again of her duty to her father.

Daksh puts a curse on Chandrama

An angry Mahadev sets out to destroy Daksh. The gods begin to fear that his anger may harm Sati. Narada rushes to Lord Vishnu asking him to help calm Mahadev. Even Brahma and Vishnu cannot do anything, because under Daksh’s law, they cannot worship Shiva. But Vishnu then comes up with an idea.

Mahadev’s anger worries the gods

Lord Vishnu appears before Daksh and says he has upset the balance of the universe by destroying Chandrama and asks him to create a new planet in place of Chandrama. Meanwhile, Rishi Dadhichi announces that Shiva has taken his Rudra-roop. What calamities will it cause?

Sati is sent to bring soil from the River Saraswati for a planet that Daksh is creating. Goddess Lakshmi takes the form of Sati and comes to the palace. By the river, Sati meets two rishis, who ask her to help them with a Shiva puja. Lakshmi disappears after leaving a bunch of lotuses on the throne.

Lakshmi disguises herself as Sati

Narad Muni marvels at the miracles of Vishnu and Lakshmi, which they performed so that the Daksh Rekha could be removed and Sati could do the Shiva puja to calm Shiva’s anger. Narad tells Sati that she is Mahashakti, the other half of Mahadev. What will Sati do now?

Mahadev tells Sati that it is impossible for them to be together. She begs him not to punish her because of his enmity with her father. Mahadev then explains the reality of the human body and why she cannot marry him. Prajapati Daksh arrives on the scene and declares that Sati will be put to death.

Angered by Daksh, Mahadev aims his Trishul at him. But he lets Daksh go when Sati pleads for his life. Sati blames herself for hurting her father and seeks his forgiveness. Daksh expresses his happiness at getting his daughter back. But he is not done with Mahadev yet.

Mahadev spares Daksh’s life

Prajapati Daksh swears that Sati will never be joined with Mahadev, but Anusuya asks her to keep the Nanda Vrat and attain the Lord through devotion. She also warns her that the Vrat must never be interrupted. Brahma and Vishnu try to get Mahadev to marry Sati for the good of the world.

Sati's Nanda Vrat

Daksh's plans

Daksh assures Sati that her marriage will only be with his consent. Sati, meanwhile, follows the rituals of the Nanda Vrat and shapes a clay Shivaling.

Sati continues with the Vrat

Sati tries to stop her parents from doing Jal Samadhi. But Daksh is sure that he has fulfilled his role as a father and must leave the world.
