While Shiva is deep in trance, he is troubled by thoughts of Sati. She too is lost in Mahadev’s thoughts. Sati looks forward to the Mahamandal, longing to see Mahadev. Meanwhile, Indra tells Daksh that Shukracharya and his army is heading for the Mahamandal.

Smeared with ash, draped in animal hide, sitting atop a rock in the shamshan and drinking bhang (Mahadev’s Prasad), Mahadev is absorbed in his meditation amongst the Aghori ascetics. Narad Muni instigates Nandi to question Mahadev about bringing Devi Sati to Kailash. Withdrawn from the complexities of life, Mahadev smirks at Nandi’s question thinking about Sati, leaving behind the materialistic life for Kailash. On the other hand, Sati falls for Mahadev and confesses her love before Madanike.

Fearing the results of her love for Mahadev, Madanike scolds Sati. Sati says she cannot help her feelings for Shiva. Although worried, Madanike agrees to stand by her side. Rishi Dadhichi prepares a special place for Mahadev in the Mahamandal. Restless to meet Shiva again, Sati heads for Kailash.

Shiva is angry when he sees Sati in Kailash and forces her to return. Sati goes back saddened that he has refused her love. Meanwhile, Shukracharya believes that Shiva is on the side of the gods since he is going to the Mahamandal and he prepares his army for war.

Undeterred by Mahadev's rejection, Sati ascertains Madanike about bringing the Mahayogi out of his Vairagya. Preparing for Shaalimar and Tulsi's marriage, enamoured by Mahadev's love, Sati sees Shivaling in place of Shaalimar. Shukracharya questions Prajapati Daksh about inviting Lord Shiva in the Mahamandal. True to his words given to Maharishi Dadhichi, Mahadev embarks his presense in the Mahamandal meeting. But, as soon he advances towards his seat, Daksh gets his seat demolished.

As Mahadev approaches his seat, Daksh has it pulled away and destroyed. He continues to insult Shiva. He declares that Shiva’s Vairagya is against the principles of his reign. He then unleashes a terrible curse on Mahadev. It angers Shukracharya, who declares vengeance for the insult to Mahadev.

Mahadev is unaffected by Daksh’s curse that no one in his kingdom will worship him. Daksh sends written instructions to Sati and leaves for Brahma Lok. Sati is torn between her devotion for Mahadev and her loyalty to her parents. Later, Madanike asks her a question that leaves her speechless.

Just as Sati prepares to open her heart to her father, she is shocked by his letter, in which he threatens to go to any length to keep Mahadev out of her life. In Kailash, Narad Muni asks Mahadev why he does not accept Sati, with whom he has been united since the beginning of time. What is Mahadev’s answer?

Deeply upset, Sati tries to understand her mother’s feelings about her devotion to Mahadev. In Brahma Lok, Brahma tells his son Daksh that the union between Shiva and Sati has already been decided. But an arrogant Daksh vows to change that destiny with his powers.

Sati’s love for Mahadev keeps growing. She decides to seek out Rishi Dadhichi, who led her to Mahadev in the first place, and ask him to explain to her what is happening in her life. The Rishi tells her the moment for her to accept her destiny has come. The Rudraksha she first found holds the key.

Rishi Dadhichi asks Sati to touch the Shivaling which will end all the conflict in her mind. She obeys and finds that all her doubts and questions are answered. Brahma goes to Mahadev and asks him not to punish Sati for Daksh’s mistakes.

Prasuti scolds Madanike for encouraging Sati’s devotion to Mahadev. Sati decides to dance until Mahadev joins her. They dance in union, before he disappears. When Daksh arrives on the scene, Sati is still dancing for Mahadev. Sati later faints.

Sati faints on an image of Shiva drawn with colours. Daksh is furious and blames Madanike for everything and decides to punish him. In Kailash, Narad Muni continues with his efforts to make Mahadev accept Sati. Meanwhile, Rishi Kashyap makes a terrible prediction.

Rishi Kashyap informs Daksh that Sati has entered the Yoga Nidra state, after she and Mahadev danced together. He says she can only be awakened by Mahadev’s touch. Daksh refuses the solution and announces that he will give half his kingdom and powers to anyone who can awaken Sati.

Rishi Dadhichi and Kashyap find Mahadev in Yoga Nidra Samadhi. Nandi warns of trouble if they attempt to wake him. The Rishis are confused about what to do with Mahadev. Meanwhile, Daksh summons the Navagrahas, the nine planets, to awaken Sati; will they be successful?

Sati begins to show signs of slipping into Chir Yoga Nidra, from which she can never wake up. An arrogant Daksh believes he can revive Sati and begins to summon all his powers. Meanwhile, Mahadev emerges from his Samadhi and comes to Sati.

Sati is woken by Mahadev’s touch and is overjoyed to see him. But he asks her not to go against her father’s wishes. Sati explains to her mother that Shiva had only come to save Daksh from losing his kingdom. Prasuti responds angrily and asks Sati to first throw Shiva out of her heart.

Prasuti accuses Madanike of being disloyal to the family. Daksh also says that what she’s done cannot be pardoned. Sati manages to hand over the Shivaling to Madanike and pleads with her parents to stop Madanike from leaving. But they are unmoved.

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.

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.

Revati is upset that Chandrama ignores her and prefers his other wife Rohini. Daksh tells Chandrama to give equal attention to Revati. When Chandrama doesn’t agree, Daksh puts a curse on him. Narad Muni pleads with Mahadev to do something as his silence is feeding Daksh’s arrogance.

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.

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.

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?
