Devon Ke Dev Mahadev

Mahadev agrees to go to the Mahamandal and tells the rishis he will be entirely responsible for its outcome. Angered that Mahadev is attending the yagna, Shukracharya vows to take on the deities. Narad Muni asks Mahadev not to go to Daksh’s court. But Mahadev has an answer for him.

Placing his faith in Vishnu, Daksh assures the gods that he will protect them from Shukracharya’s army of asuras. Daksh asks Chandrama to ensure that the Vasant Utsav goes off well. In Kailash, Mahadev is again displeased with Nandi for talking about Sati.

The Asuras decide to attack the gods if the Mahamandal goes against them. During the Vasant Utsav, Sati sings the same melody she heard Mahadev sing in the forest. Madanike learns about Sati’s feelings and warns her of the consequences.

Madanike tells Sati that her love for Mahadev will be disastrous. Sati assures her that she knows the enmity between her father and Mahadev and will not do anything to make it worse. Meanwhile, Shilaad wants to take Nandi with him and Mahadev agrees, but Nandi does not want to leave Mahadev.

Nandi leaves Mahadev against his will. Shilaad comes back to Mahadev to tell him of Nandi’s condition. In Daksh’s palace, Sati is surprised to see Madanike worshipping a Shivaling. Madanike praises Mahadev’s virtues and speaks of her worries for Sati, who is caught between Daksh and Mahadev.

Mahadev makes Nandi special by ensuring that devotees will henceforth whisper their prayers in his ears and he will convey them to Mahadev. In Daksh’s palace, while Revati complains to her mother about being unhappy in her marriage to Chandrama, Sati sets out to go with Madanike to fetch colours.

Madanike sees a bad omen and doesn’t want to take Sati with her to Rangraj. When they are alone, Sati again tells her that she has no place for Shiva in her heart. But a storm separates them while they are walking through the forest. Prasuti then sends out a search party for Sati.

At the time when two seasons meet, the demon Vrittasura unleashes a terrible storm and Sati, who is separated from Madanike, is caught in it. That is when Shiva himself comes to protect Sati from Vrittasura. Rishi Dadhichi and the sculptors also witness the magnificent power of Mahadev.

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.

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.
