帕尔瓦蒂表达求子心愿,同时陀罗迦苦修得到梵天赐福,只能被湿婆自己生的儿子所杀。湿婆顺应天神请求,战神迦絺吉夜诞生。杀死陀罗迦后,又前往南瞻部洲扫除阿修罗。帕子与子分离,十分痛苦,但大天告诉她,还会有第二个儿子。
大天告诉帕子,她的画像正是她所求之人,但为求子必须严苛苦修奉行祭祀,帕子同意了。主持祭典的永童仙人告诉她,祭典不可被打扰,她便让南迪镇守大门不让任何人进来,然而南迪不敢阻拦大天,大天无意间打断了祭典,帕子十分担忧。与此同时,新的阿修罗王象魔修正在崛起,他的苦修引起了天神的惊惶。
大天向妻子道歉,说再也不会打扰她的修行。帕子独自去林中苦修,最终得到毗湿奴的赐福。与此同时,象魔的苦修也得到了湿婆的赐福,湿婆被迫答应自己将永远留在象魔体内。在吉罗娑等待丈夫归来的帕子预感到大事不妙。
大天被象魔绑架而不得返家,帕子震怒,天崩地裂,三相神好不容易劝住了帕子。帕子郁郁寡欢地洗澡,似乎又见到了孩子的身影,她兴起捏了个小人,可一转身小人竟然变成了一个漂亮的孩子,叫她母亲。与此同时,象魔开始兴风作浪。
小象出生后,帕尔瓦蒂为他举办庆典,邀请所有女神来参加。女神纷纷祝福小象,但小象并不稀罕,认为母亲已是他的整个世界。娑尼的妻子却有隐忧,因为她知道她的丈夫曾受她诅咒,邪眼或许会害到小象。与此同时,南迪按捺不住要去挑战象魔,救回上主。毗湿奴却把他变成了伶人,命他去象魔的酒宴上唱歌。
帕尔瓦蒂召来如意神牛,给小象吃了出生后的第一餐,吉罗娑宾客皆欢。与此同时,娑尼在那罗陀的挑唆下,前往吉罗娑,不顾自己邪眼可能会造成的危害,就是想见见传说中的神奇孩子。月神旃陀罗从妻子卢醯尼那里听说了伽内什的美貌,也赶去看象,他为娑尼制造了良机。
毗神带领南迪和羊羊等一群伽那前往象魔的歌舞会,以美妙的歌声鼓乐取悦了象魔,象魔许诺将给予任何赏赐,毗神便开口要他腹内的天真之主。象魔反悔,被南迪杀死,湿婆终于恢复自由身。同时,用邪眼看了小象的娑尼被帕子发现,帕子暴怒变身骑狮杜尔迦,三叉戟一叉叉断娑尼的腿,土星崩裂…
为了迎接丈夫回家,帕尔瓦蒂决定沐浴打扮自己,但是家里只有小象可以看门。帕子赐予小象神力,让他可以在必要时保护自己。并说不能让任何人进门。不久,湿婆率领伽那回家,却在门口被小象拦住。双方唇枪舌战,小象寸步不让。
湿婆离开后,南迪气不过,对小象先行利诱,再行威胁,可惜徒劳无功。在说服(恐吓)过程中,南迪给小象讲述了三个著名的湿婆故事:斩梵首、接恒河、烧爱神。插播小故事也是本剧的一大特色。
南迪对小象利诱不成,就来硬战,伽那轮番上阵,都败下阵来,羊羊快被折断角的危急时刻,作为压轴的南迪终于化身为本尊大白牛,对小象发起了进攻。 与此同时,刚从象魔手中逃出生天的天神们纷纷赞颂南迪的神力,南迪这场会赢吗?
伽那们被打得落花流水回去抱腿哭诉,蛇王婆苏吉主动请缨出战,一上去就想蛇吞象,好心的伐由认为对方还是个孩子,不能做得太绝,应以和平的方式来解决争端。于是大家效仿搅乳海,以婆苏吉为绳,一头是小象,一头是天神,举行了一场别开生面的拔河比赛。本集插播的小故事是印度神话中(或许最著名)的搅乳海。
婆苏吉喷出的毒液伤了小象的眼睛,帕子母子连心,眼睛也顿感不适,她请求医神檀文陀梨配了一剂解毒剂,医好自己的眼,也医好小象的眼(神操作)。天神在拔河比赛中落败但不肯撤退,终于被小象困在神仗阵中。天帝因陀罗威风凛凛骑象而来,可惜不过两个回合就扑街。众神请来杀手锏阎摩,阎摩能奏效吗?
阎摩的出场神威赫赫,但依然不敌小象,被打趴在地。众神开始祈求毗湿奴和梵天来相助。毗神认为自己定能说服小象,解决危机,但无论怎么苦口婆心都打动不了小象。当小象最后朝梵天扔出棍子时,天地震动,大天终于从冥想中醒来,怒火烧红吉罗娑。
大天的畏怖相布满整个天空,小象在最后一刻似乎领悟到了对手的本质,但为时已晚。毗神的一声“大天”未能阻止三叉戟的去势,帕尔瓦蒂面前的烛火刹那摇灭。迦雅和毗迦雅还在安慰帕子没事,愤怒的众女神已经降临吉罗娑。天神得知小象的真实身份,个个面如土色。
女神们指责众天神傲慢自大,引发如此惨案。拉克什米讲述了摩根德耶的故事,提醒大家一旦帕尔瓦蒂发怒后果不堪设想,谁都无法抵挡。挂念儿子的帕尔瓦蒂出来,莫名其妙地看到门口站了一圈神,天神们慌忙连成人墙,挡住小象的尸身不让她看到…
大天承认是他杀了儿子,帕尔瓦蒂怒问为何,大天无话可说。女神开始控诉全场,讲述了自己前世为萨蒂,今世为帕尔瓦蒂,屡次苦修嫁给湿婆千辛万苦才得到儿子的血泪史。南迪想为上主承担过错,却被主母一脚震上了天。毗神让拉克什米劝劝帕子,小拉却说,女神们这次都站在帕子这边,天神应该付出代价。帕尔瓦蒂在众神的震骇中化身杜尔迦。
众女神与帕尔瓦蒂合体,现出64位瑜伽母和十慧母,天地间回荡着恐怖的吼声,熊熊烈火似将焚尽宇宙。天神们四散逃命,但是并没有逃出十慧母的手掌心,纷纷被抛入杜尔迦的口中。大天终于出手制止狂暴的妻子,告诉她儿子可以复活。
大天向妻子承诺一定会复活儿子,此时迦叶波仙人翩然而至,告诉大家其实他才是罪魁祸首。原来他的儿子苏利耶曾经在征讨阿修罗时触怒了大天,被大天一叉叉倒,暴怒的迦叶波当场诅咒大天将来也会同样叉倒他自己的亲儿子。现在诅咒应验了。大天告诉天神,只要找到一个合适的头来替换小象的头,便可救活小象,但必须符合两大条件。毗神率领众神进入 密林,努力寻头。
毗神向众神解释了为何要选择象头的深意。象头送到大天面前,因陀罗问谁来换头呢。大天意味深长地朝因叔一笑,说你还会不知道吗。然后毗神讲述了陀提遮仙人被因叔砍头,又被双马童换头的事。大天请来双马童动手术,女神们对换象头一事并不知情,帕尔瓦蒂焦急地等在手术室外,就让娑罗室伐底帮她看看,但娑的表情就突然僵住…
小象复活之后,帕子进入山洞见到儿子的象头,无法接受,转身离去。大天告诉小象他被砍头的因果,小象认错,但他还以为是自己犯了错,才不受母亲待见。于是,大天终于让小象看到了残忍的真相。
帕尔瓦蒂仍然无法接受象头,眼前挥之不去的是小象从前的身影。小象为了证明自己还是那个儿子,攀登危崖去采摘母亲最爱的莓果。他这番举动引起众人惊慌,毗湿奴建议大天帮助小象下来,大天却说,不该插手母子之间的事。小象失手掉了下来,帕尔瓦蒂终于喊出了一声儿子。
小象还是从山崖上摔下来了,虽然啥事都没,还是把他妈吓坏了。小象捧出为母亲采摘的果子,讲述换象头后自己身上的种种变化,终于感动了母亲,皆大欢喜(除了因叔开始表露作死的苗头)。与此同时,新一代的阿修罗王象面正在崛起,意欲攻打天界。
铁打的阿修罗众流水的王,一转眼又换了大王,辛杜拉一上任就发现天界神光万丈,发生了异变,便命双色头发的女阿修罗辛醯伽去探查究竟。消息传来,是众神在前往吉罗娑为小象举办盛大典礼。辛杜拉并没有将小象放在眼里,他选择了把因陀罗界作为上任三把火的头号目标。与此同时,小象的甜美乖巧赢得了吉罗娑众人的喜爱。
辛杜拉闯入天界,挑战天帝,众神被绑,因陀罗屡败屡战,末了原来辛杜拉就是想问一个问题……小象在吉罗娑循着香味,发现那个口齿不清的伽那正在大吃水果,他毫不犹豫全抢过来吃了,帕尔瓦蒂这才发现儿子饿坏了。
好奇的小象一直缠着帕子,让她做不成家务。帕子看到丈夫整天冥想不理家事,心中顿时不爽,把儿子抛给丈夫。大天对妻子的要求满口答应,然而这个不负责任的父亲,没说两句,又自顾冥想去了。无聊的小象摘下父亲头上的月亮把玩,月宫大乱,月神东倒西歪,月神的妻子卢醯尼却幸灾乐祸。与此同时,疑心病甚重的辛杜拉不信因陀罗的话,又冲去了梵天界搞事。
小象把月亮浸到水里,海神殿也差点翻了,旃陀罗苦不堪言。大天醒来发现月亮失踪,知道是自己儿子干的,他怕伽那们不敢去要回月亮,故意没有说破。伽那在商吉的带领下四处寻找,却发现月亮就在上主儿子手中。他们回想起砍头前那一战,落荒而逃...大天无奈,只好派南迪再去拿月亮,南迪能取回来吗?与此同时,辛杜拉把梵天界搅得乌烟瘴气。
南迪无功而返,前来探望儿子的帕尔瓦蒂也发现了月亮丢失的问题,她将丈夫一通训斥后,喊来小象归还月亮。与此同时,梵天向那罗陀讲述了辛杜拉的来历,原来他是从梵天一个哈欠中诞生,梵天对他喜爱有加,各种赐福,但辛杜拉因力量而傲慢,先后挑战自己的父亲和毗湿奴,最后跑到吉罗娑遇见正在画画的帕尔瓦蒂,被美色所惑,由此遭到梵天的诅咒,此处的剧情与第一集末尾联系了起来。
梵天继续向那罗陀讲述辛杜拉堕入地界,结识辛醯伽,成为阿修罗王的过程。与此同时,小象为了能吃饭,必须接受第一次沐浴。怕水的他,迟疑了很久终于鼓起勇气跳入水中,却把水溅了众人一身...拉克什米作为舅母,按照习俗给小象送来新衣,小象也由此燃起了对舅舅的好奇。
小象终于吃饱了肚子,开始想他的舅舅。在毗恭吒,拉克什米对毗湿奴讲述小象的调皮,毗嘲笑大天不会带孩子,正在此时,他听到了有人叫他舅舅,原来是小象来访。高兴的毗神夫妇拿出好吃好玩的招待外甥,小象却抢走了拉克什米的莲花,小拉追着他满毗恭吒跑。小象被母亲唤走后,正在洋洋得意自己会带孩子的毗发现海螺不见了。与此同时,辛杜拉召唤了擅长幻术的阿修罗雷震,意欲杀死小象。
正在冥想的大天被海螺声吵醒,惊讶地发现毗湿奴的海螺竟然在儿子手上。毗神现身吉罗娑,央求大天让小象把海螺还他,不料记仇的大天说自己是不会带孩子的天真之主,这件事也就管不了。毗神追着小象绕了吉罗娑一圈又一圈,始终拿不回自己的海螺,最后他想拿出三相神的威严来恐吓小象,小象却把海螺吞进了肚子。
帕尔瓦蒂担心儿子吞下海螺会出事,众人纷纷出主意,但都无法奏效。毗湿奴表演了“神圣理拉”逗得小象大笑,吐出了海螺。大天不失时机地总结了这一事件……帕尔瓦蒂带小象回家睡觉,小象看到娑罗室伐底送来的衣服,对梵天界发生了兴趣,偷偷溜出门去。他被娑罗室伐底的琴声吸引,要来维纳琴弹奏,梵天夫妇发现他极有音乐天赋。
雪山王夫妇来访,小象失踪,帕子非常担心,大天千里传音把儿子从梵天界叫回来,自己又去冥想了。曼娜外婆看到小象的模样,一时不能接受,但小象对母亲唱了三分钟的歌,求得母亲的原谅,这个场面感动了外婆,她主动提出要唱摇篮曲哄小象睡觉……
雷震变成玩具把小象勾引出去,变成了大木人带着他在天上飞,小象玩得正开心,雷震恢复阿修罗原貌,说他是为了杀死他。小象急中生智,告诉雷震他的命被父亲藏在山里,没带出来。愚蠢的雷震相信了,一座座山地去撞,想把小象的命找出来,但他撞翻了火山,把自己烧了起来……同时,帕尔瓦蒂发现母亲睡着了,儿子又丢了。
一直被小象糊弄的雷震突然醒悟到自己被骗了,他把小象甩到地上,打算杀死他。但是一番斗智斗勇下来,还是小象赢了,雷震碎成一堆木渣渣。帕尔瓦蒂众人终于找到了从岩石堆里爬出来的小象,庆幸他没事。在天界,舍脂提醒众神去参加小象的命名礼,因陀罗很不情愿,天师祭主仙人觉得这是个噩兆。同时在地界,辛杜拉决定亲自出马,去吉罗娑结果小象。
辛杜拉正要前往吉罗娑又停下脚步,想起了梵天的诅咒,觉得自己最好还是不要冒险。但是急于摆脱辛杜拉的辛醯伽,不停地劝说辛杜拉,辛杜拉终于被说动,决定去杀死小象。在吉罗娑,特殊的一天拉开序幕,小象迎来他的命名礼,诸天神祇齐聚一堂,吉罗娑也装饰一新。辛杜拉悄悄潜入吉罗娑,附身在一个乐师身上。
众神列座,按照习俗开始给小象举行命名礼。经过星盘推算,梵天给小象取了名字的头一个字,然后大天取了完整的名字伽阇南(意为象头)。大家纷纷称赞这是个好名字...因陀罗一直对此不满,恨不得早点离去,但碍于帕尔瓦蒂还要分发糖球,不得不继续等待。小象离开去找水果,遇到了前来杀他的辛杜拉。辛杜拉用催眠术对付小象。同时,娑尼夫妇来到,请求帕尔瓦蒂原谅,帕子想起娑尼邪眼事故而气得捏碎了糖球。
帕尔瓦蒂原谅了娑尼,治好了他的腿,娑尼感激涕零。毗神故意把那罗陀拉出来,帕子了解到当初是他唆使娑尼去看儿子,那罗陀战战兢兢,好在帕子心情好,骂过之后也原谅了他。另一边辛杜拉想用催眠术迷惑小象,但被幻力反噬。小象在祭坛前打了个喷嚏,把火喷到辛杜拉身上,辛杜拉负伤消失。帕子发现状况,焦虑万分,觉得儿子又要出事,想让三相神让小象成神以保平安,但一直对小象不满的因陀罗表示反对。
因陀罗据理力争,认为小象只有证明自己的德行和正业,才能得到神力,而不能仅凭出身,这一意见得到了天神和大天的赞同,帕尔瓦蒂非常气愤,指责因陀罗自私自负,并发誓一定会将儿子培养成材,让他成为首祭之神。懵懂的小象并不关心他们的讨论,只是想吃东西。因陀罗暗自得意。迦絺吉夜返回吉罗娑,但母亲并没有看到他,而是奔向了他身后的小象,迦絺吉夜不认识弟弟,小象也不认识哥哥,两人都暗自猜疑。于此同时,辛醯伽以为辛杜拉已经死在了吉罗娑,自己在地界称王了。
帕尔瓦蒂为兄弟俩互相介绍,兴奋的小象把哥哥扑倒在地,迦絺吉夜一脸状况外。大天向长子快速过了一遍小象的生平,战神看在弟弟的份上,并不计较小象跟他的玩闹和争宠,但在心底默默抱怨母亲偏心。在天界,因陀罗召开会议取得众人拥戴,但舍脂认为丈夫做了错事,为此她祭拜杜尔迦请求原谅,但杜尔迦手中三叉戟坠落在地昭示不幸。与此同时,活着回到地界的辛杜拉发现辛醯伽图谋篡位的事,想杀了她,辛醯伽急中生智喊出还有乳海之毒。她告诉辛杜拉,当初大天饮下毒液,还漏了一滴被罗刹女京芭所得,此毒无人可敌,只要把她找来便能置小象于死地。
小象跳上哥哥的孔雀,不顾哥哥的阻拦飞走了。但他控制不了孔雀,险象频生,迦絺吉夜一路追赶,最后跳下悬崖接住了半空中坠落的弟弟。大天夫妇听到动静赶来,帕子只关心小象有没有事,让迦絺吉夜十分不满,忍不住向父亲抱怨。地界,辛杜拉听说京芭之后,便要召唤她,被打扰了的京芭放出毒烟灌满地界,但辛杜拉还是用催眠术控制了京芭,命她去吉罗娑杀死小象。
帕子带大儿子去吃饭,各种美味佳肴,小象在旁边看得眼馋,也端了自己的餐具坐到一边,但帕子不让他吃,因为喂食礼尚未举行。最后只给他一杯牛奶。小象委屈地拿着牛奶来到院子里,遇到了京芭。京芭化身为迦雅,在牛奶中下毒,小象喝下去后全身变蓝,大天夫妇赶来,却发现儿子莫名其妙地自己解毒了。大天杀了京芭,帕子被儿子的神力震惊。小象到底何方神圣?
迦絺吉夜一箭把京芭的尸体送回地界,给了辛杜拉一个警告。帕尔瓦蒂对儿子的神力疑惑不已。毗湿奴和梵天夫妇现身吉罗娑,讲述了小象的种种神迹,告诉帕子你的儿子生而不凡。大天说起创世之初的往事,三相神曾在上一个世界毁灭之后向至高梵苦修祈祷,而至高梵为他们指点明路。最后三相神告诉帕子,你的儿子就是至高梵的化身。
因为没举行喂食礼就不能吃正餐,小象饿得(馋得?)七荤八素,产生幻觉,关键时刻帮忙的还是舅舅。于是隆重的喂食礼举行了。万事俱备,帕尔瓦蒂突然想起第一口食物必须是特别有意义的,她立刻进厨房做出了甜蒸饺。之后大天夫妇就这道甜点与宇宙精神的关系发表陈词。小象终于吃到了人生第一餐。
帕尔瓦蒂一早把小象拉起来苦修,她向儿子阐述了瑜伽七脉轮的理论知识,告诉小象必须专心致志,才能觉醒拙火,习得至高知识。与此同时,因陀罗向大天要求让迦絺吉夜去南境帮忙摆平阿修罗,但帕尔瓦蒂不愿儿子离开,但战神还是以职责为重,再次离开吉罗娑。正在苦修的小象听说哥哥要走,急忙去厨房打包了便当,一路追赶,已经骑孔雀飞走的迦絺吉夜终于听到小象的呼喊。
蝴蝶变成阿修罗后,又来了一只阿修罗鸟,两只一起夹击小象,把小象逼入地穴,阿修罗推来一块巨石想要封死地穴,这时战神赶到,孔雀把小象从地穴中救出,兄弟俩齐心合力打败了两只阿修罗和一条大鳄鱼。大天夫妇姗姗来迟,帕尔瓦蒂对儿子很担心,迦絺吉夜说弟弟确实有神力,只要完成苦修就好。他再次告别亲人踏上远征之路。垂死的阿修罗鸟回地界复命,辛醯伽说现在只剩下苏羯罗可以对付小象了。
帕尔瓦蒂向大天解释为何要让儿子进行苦修,顺便又把陈年老账翻了一遍。大天发现儿子在苦修之时偷吃水果,但没说破,啥都不管,帕尔瓦蒂只好去教导儿子,吃得苦中苦,方为神上神。小象终于放下对吃的执念,一心苦修,并且自觉地开始节食。在地界,辛醯伽对辛杜拉讲述了阿修罗之师苏羯罗的生平,建议他去找苏老师寻求建议。但当辛杜拉发现苏羯罗是个瞎子,就嘲笑了他,他妄图用催眠术控制苏羯罗心神,但反被苏诅咒。
帕尔瓦蒂一早起来,发现儿子已经自觉去林中苦修,喜出望外。小象这次是下功夫了,风雨无阻,也确有所成,到了某一阶段,至高梵现身指引。同时,辛杜拉以昔日恩怨为借口,逼苏羯罗为他出谋划策。苏羯罗说只有盗得甘露才能打断小象的苦修。辛杜拉便卷土重来,再上天界,用催眠术控制了天帝等人,让他们带自己去找甘露,但此事被守卫甘露的毗首羯磨看破。
辛杜拉以催眠术控制了毗首羯磨,毗首羯磨接连帮忙打开了防守阵线的前两道关卡。同时,至高梵的形象从火中出现,指引小象继续苦修,拙火从海底轮升至顶轮,冲破躯体,令小象认识到自我本质,至高梵与小象合而为一。苏羯罗感知到小象的苦修快要圆满,催促辛杜拉抓紧,但已经来不及了。合体瞬间发出的神光辉映三界,也破除了辛杜拉的催眠术,天帝和毗首羯磨等人这才发现遭辛杜拉暗算。
至高梵告诉帕尔瓦蒂,她的儿子修行圆满,已经可以接受她所有的力量。他也赐福帕尔瓦蒂,将以儿子的形态永远承欢膝下。于是帕子化为杜尔迦形态,向小象解释了手中所有武器的意义,并全部赐予小象。同时,从催眠中醒来的天帝等人,与辛杜拉展开了艰苦的搏斗,最后看看实在打不过,天帝带着天神团溜之大吉,只剩下毗首羯磨。苏羯罗再次警告辛杜拉,他必须立刻得到甘露才能活命,小象已经得到至高梵形态。
辛杜拉连续闯关,因陀罗坐立不安,去找梵天帮忙,梵天说帮不了,(一如既往地)一脚把他踢给毗湿奴。因陀罗又去找毗神,还翻出了摩西妮的旧账,毗神一口回绝,让他去找小象。因陀罗实在不想去找小象,就先去找战神,然而(果然)被羞辱。左右为难的因陀罗在天帝宫开会商议,舍脂跑来把他骂得哑口无言,最后会议一致通过只能求助伽阇南。天帝去吉罗娑求助,帕子终于有机会清算旧账了。
小象阻止了要向他行大礼道歉的天帝,说应该向他母亲道歉。帕尔瓦蒂原谅了因陀罗,这事终于翻篇了。辛杜拉打败了最后一道关卡的毒蛇,正要攫取甘露,小象出现在他身后,手捧一个一模一样的甘露罐。小象误导辛杜拉相信,他手中的才是真甘露,而辛杜拉得到的是假的。辛杜拉追着小象跑出了收藏甘露的地方,等到发现上当已经太迟,四道关卡重新启动,他再也没机会进去了。愤恨之极的辛杜拉对小象发起了全力攻击。
辛杜拉的化身十分强大,小象向吉罗娑射出一支信号箭,召唤雄贤相助,雄贤打趴了阿修罗。辛杜拉又变出第二个化身,这次小象召唤了母亲。帕尔瓦蒂化身迦梨,应战阿修罗,获胜后祝福了儿子。辛杜拉又变出一群化身,迦絺吉夜应声而来。这集就是一家人齐心协力挫败了辛杜拉的力量。
迦絺吉夜战胜辛杜拉的阿修罗后离开。辛杜拉又祭出他最强大的武器火阿修罗,伽阇南利用央陀罗控制了火阿修罗,使他反扑辛杜拉。最终伽阇南化出楼陀罗相,辛杜拉逃到梵天界向父母求助,心软的娑罗室伐底女神原谅了儿子,并请求伽阇南也原谅他。伽阇南顺从姑母的请求,但绝处逢生的辛杜拉不愿苦修悔过,反而再次向母亲索求赐福。
辛杜拉威胁娑罗室伐底索取赐福,小象去而复返,接住了姑母的泪水,把辛杜拉摁到在地甩巴掌,把辛杜拉打出天际。但不甘心的辛杜拉又跑回来挑战伽阇南,以为承受赐福的双臂之力一定能碾碎小象。但小象越长越大,最后辛杜拉炸成红粉,将天地染成通红。伽阇南的至大形态无法控制怒火,为使他冷静下来,因陀罗听从毗湿奴的建议,举行祭祀,奉伽阇南为神。
伽阇南杀死辛杜拉,功成名就,众神纷纷以武器相赠,梵天还给小象取了新名字伽阇南达。之后各回各家,小象眼馋大家的坐骑,也想要一只,大天告诉他时机未至。天界召开集会,财神俱毗罗姗姗来迟,对天帝语出不逊,因陀罗暗自恼怒。俱毗罗邀请天神去他的鬈发城参加盛宴,因陀罗让他也去邀请大天一家。俱毗罗又去吉罗娑邀请大天,大天打发儿子跟财神走了。与此同时,地界换了新主,穆湿迦(鼠阿修罗)攫取王座后,对小象的力量深感不安,便去拜访苏老师,苏羯罗告诉他,唯有帕尔瓦蒂的力量才能制约伽阇南达。
小象随俱毗罗来到了鬈发城,但他表示自己不能吃,因为觉得食物不够。傲慢的俱毗罗带着小象参观了他所有的宝藏,告知绝无短缺之理。然而小象一旦开吃,胃口就吓坏了众神,不仅把厨房吃空,还把俱毗罗的宝藏也全部给吃了,宣称如果不给他更多吃的,他就要把俱毗罗给吃了。天帝一看情况不妙,带领天神跑路。小象对俱毗罗紧追不舍,财神已经乘车飞走还是被鼻子吸了回来,财神无奈跳水,但是小象又吸干了一整条河,把他捞了出来…
天神仓皇逃命,天帝让俱毗罗去吉罗娑求助,自己和其他几个天神拖住小象。小象使出吸星大法,几乎扒光了天神的衣冠,还吸走了月神水神。千钧一发,俱毗罗赶到,带来了写有大天夫妇名字的木橘叶,小象吃下叶子就饱了,俱毗罗也由此悔悟,除去了自己的傲慢。小象压垮了爱罗婆多,没有坐骑驮得动他,只好自己走回吉罗娑,半路遇到被穆湿迦杀死的蛇,好心将他掩埋,但被小蛇误会为凶手。此时穆湿迦已经来到女神庙,就等苏维尼完成苦修,好让他有利可图。
小象了解到村庄饱受蛇族骚扰,就想帮他们解决问题。他来到森林中,蛇族误会他是之前杀死某条蛇的凶手(其实是老鼠杀的),双方打了起来。最后舍沙出手,小象为救朋友,深入那伽界。同时,阿修罗女苏维尼的修行圆满,得到主母的赐福,帕尔瓦蒂将永远保护苏维尼未来的丈夫。穆湿迦使计让结婚花环落到自己头上,苏维尼由此嫁给老鼠。
小象来到那伽界,先礼后兵,最后还是和舍沙打了起来,他使计让舍沙把自己缠在了石头上,又吞下了他的宝珠,最后在舍沙头上跳起了坦达瓦,彻底制伏了他。婆苏吉闻讯前去恳求小象饶恕舍沙,并为冷静下来的小象献上普祭,成为他的圣线。与此同时,老鼠穆湿迦在天界闹事,把众神赶了出去,天帝又去求小象帮忙。
小象来到天界与穆湿迦对阵,他唤来了帕尔瓦蒂的坐骑大猫(狮子),玩起了猫捉老鼠的游戏,老鼠被踩住尾巴狼狈不堪。穆湿迦的新婚妻子苏维尼觉察到丈夫的危险,祈求帕尔瓦蒂帮助。帕尔瓦蒂犹豫不决,因为另一方是自己的儿子,但大天告诉她信徒比神自己更为重要。帕尔瓦蒂会救穆湿迦吗?
帕尔瓦蒂囿于承诺必须保护穆湿迦,而大天反对这一决定,认为她助纣为虐。夫妇俩吵得不可开交,把从迦絺吉夜到象魔到砍头的老账翻了个遍,谁都说服不了谁,只好诉诸武力。梵天和毗湿奴赶紧劝架,但是无效。小象现出至高梵形象,讲述了穆湿迦的往事。原来老鼠以前曾是天界乐师,因无意冲撞了喜天仙人而被诅咒为阿修罗,他为帕子苦修,得到帕子赐福后却贪恋甘露,再次被诅咒为穆湿迦(老鼠)阿修罗。大天夫妇听完故事后冷静下来,一场大难消弭于无形。
穆湿迦逃出来后闯入仙人们的净修林,偷吃祭品引发冲突。小象答应母亲不会杀死老鼠,但必须教训他一顿。小象解救了净修林的危机,并用套索套住了老鼠,在遛鼠过程中萌发了把老鼠收为坐骑的想法。穆湿迦自知不敌,躲在地底不出来,小象用糖球逗老鼠玩,还跳上鼠背,用体重压趴了老鼠。最后小象用神力去除了穆湿迦的阿修罗性,将他收为坐骑。
小象喜得坐骑,众神纷纷来贺。小象骑着老鼠跟着父母回家,老鼠爬不动山,小象只好抱起老鼠爬上了吉罗娑。这时天呈异象,噩兆纷至,各路阿修罗蠢蠢欲动。大天和帕尔瓦蒂轮流讲述了他们的来历,计有安陀迦、水持、螺环、三连城阿修罗、孙跋和尼孙跋、弗栗多、杜尔迦阿修罗。天神恐慌,不知谁能拯救他们。
众神认为应当推举一位首神,能够为天神除障,为阿修罗布障。然而在那罗陀的挑唆之下,大家为人选争得不可开交,都认为自己应当首祭之神。三相神商议后,决定用赛跑比赛来选出首神,众神将骑着各自坐骑从吉罗娑出发,经过一系列地点后回返吉罗娑,第一名就是首神。迦絺吉夜十分担忧弟弟的坐骑,因为它还没跑路已经被小象的重量给压趴了…
赛事在即,众神齐至吉罗娑,但小象迟迟不到。原来穆湿迦行动迟缓,半天挪不了多远,小象无奈再次抱起宠物滑下山坡。梵天吹响螺号,众神争先恐后,俱毗罗用胡萝卜挂在坐骑鼻子前,他的猫鼬顿时疾如箭矢,小象也想效仿,但穆湿迦看到糖球就把上主甩了下来...原本领先的迦絺吉夜发现弟弟没有跟上,返回吉罗娑也不愿参赛,在小象的说服下,他再次出发。然而天帝已经率先到了迦尸。
众神继续赛车,先后来到人世间的各处圣地,取得信物。迦絺吉夜后来居上,很快追上天神。但是他们在进入地界时被大海阻挡了前路,海神拒绝战神的请求,于是鸠摩罗投矛分海,露出地界之门。与此同时,小象仍然留在吉罗娑,为父母举行普祭。他认为父母即为他的宇宙,绕行父母等于绕行了整个宇宙。
小象绕行父母的同时也在绕行三界,毗湿奴向那罗陀解释了个中含义。同时天神们已抵达地界,来到钵利王的宫殿门口。领头的迦絺吉夜被门卫所阻,正要大打出手时小象赶到,指出门卫就是毗湿奴化身,并讲述了伐摩纳三步跨三界与毗湿奴赐福钵利的故事。天神好不容易进门,又被钵利留下来吃饭,但他们都想着要赶紧继续参赛,宴席上一个个脚底抹油溜得飞快,只有小象稳坐如山只顾大快朵颐,战神怎么催他都催不动…
小象吃到最后,终于依依不舍离开钵利王继续上路了。这时天神们已经来到苏利耶界,但他们被眼前的景象惊呆了,一个苏利耶界变成了无数个苏利耶界,哪个才是真的。天帝认为是苏利耶在捣鬼,苏利耶自己也搞不清自己的家在哪,有苦难言。原来这是罗睺和计都的阴谋,是他们制造了摩耶幻境。小象赶到,他提出了完美的解决方案。
日界问题解决后,众神前往月界,旃陀罗却使出诡计,趁同事欣赏美丽月色之时,把他们都冷冻起来,自己抢先上路。然而他的诡计不但没有得逞,还被罗睺计都利用,罗睺在月食之时把众神连同月亮一起吞了下去。小象用鼻子给计都挠痒痒,被折磨得生不如死的罗睺忍不住张嘴把天神都吐了出来。然而计都报复小象,把穆湿迦一脚踢回了吉罗娑……
因为计都把老鼠一脚踹飞,小象怒而一屁股坐在了罗睺头上(罗睺也只有头了)惩罚他,穆湿迦也扑倒了计都。此时众天神已在五曜采集完宝石,并前往梵天界。天帝惊讶地发现,小象不知何时又赶在前头,在梵天界演奏美妙乐曲。之后在乳海,毗湿奴听到外甥只是要喝点牛奶,露出了释然的微笑,但是小象的胃口大家懂的…
小象差点把乳海吸干,连乳神都出来求饶了,舅舅看看情形不妙只好承认是自己低估了外甥(的胃口),小象终于放过乳海继续上路。众天神都以为自己是第一个抵达吉罗娑的,但他们发现小象早已赶在他们前头。毗神向众人解释了原委,小象绕行父母,实际也就在绕行宇宙,他以自己的虔诚、奉献、智慧赢得了比赛。天帝不服,想挑唆迦絺吉夜反对,但好哥哥只是为弟弟的成功而高兴。
梵天赐福伽阇南达新名伽内什,小象终成首祭之神。迦絺吉夜再次惜别家人前往南方,众天神也准备告辞。正在此时,伽内什发现天神的力量正被不断地吸走,但在场除他之外无人觉察这一情况。小象决定独自调查,他发现秘密在于一个外界的三连城,但此地有人正在吟诵大天之名,这份神奇的力量使他无法入内。
伽内什对母亲说出了自己对三连城的怀疑,天帝等人也来证实确有大祸临头,天神的力量都被剥夺。伽内什认为只有独自前往调查,才能获知真相。他在三连城前吟诵十二林伽颂歌,取悦了三连城阿修罗,被盛情迎接入城,但他目之所见,一派虔诚,并无不妥。小象的疑心仍然挥之不去,而这时似乎穆湿迦有了发现。
穆湿迦从阿修罗手中夺了两个糖球,被一路追赶,他发现了火山中的秘密,却不慎跌进火山口,性命垂危。伽内什在宫殿中感知到老鼠有难,立刻去救他亲爱的坐骑。他们无意中发现了苏羯罗的祭坛,原来阿修罗导师在策划一个大阴谋。
小象和穆湿迦找到了储藏祭品的地方,一象一鼠把仓库吃个精光。苏羯罗的火祭遇到障碍,天神的力量也暂时回归。小象回到吉罗娑,用巧妙的方式向父母报告三连城的真相,帕尔瓦蒂认为摧毁三连城事不宜迟,因为满足毁城条件的机会只在一瞬间。此时苏羯罗运用阿修罗之力又恢复了祭祀。
伽内什去找舅舅帮忙。毗湿奴令自己的分身克敌去协助外甥。克敌假称自己被逐出毗恭吒,手握甘露,骗取阿修罗的信任,进入三连城。但阿修罗曾得到苏羯罗的警告,并不那么好蒙骗。克敌利用他们的贪欲,诱导他们说出真实目的,伽内什将这番话听去汇报大天,但大天仍然认为信徒并非伪装。最后克敌使出杀手锏,唤来了手捧甘露的阿布娑罗。
伽内什向父亲揭露三连城真相,梵天请求大天出手。湿婆要求满足此箭非箭、此车非车的条件。小象请缨解决战备问题,他请来毗首羯磨,集合全体天神之力打造了独一无二的神之战车。日月为双轮,吠陀为四马,梵天为驭手,毗湿奴为箭。大天能够马到成功吗?
三连城阿修罗正欢歌畅饮,罗睺来警告他们,大天已在前来诛杀他们的路上了。这时苏羯罗的火祭终告完成,获得生命的阿修罗大军组装成一支阿修罗之箭,向大天的战车射去。大天箭在弦上却不可发,因为毗湿奴之箭只可使用一次。两难之际,伽内什挺身而出挡住了阿修罗之箭。
伽内什化出五个分身,吞下了四面八方袭来的阿修罗大军,解决了危机,但是大天的战车却莫名崩毁。帕尔瓦蒂知道这是因为大天没有在出发前祭祀伽内什,而伽内什是首祭之神,凡事欲成功便少不了对他的普祭。大天认为父亲祭子,于理不合。这时至高梵现身,告诉大天只有以身作则,他定下的规矩才能实施,并告知了普祭的事项。
大天完成对首祭之神的普祭仪式,战车再次组装,向三连城驰去。三连城阿修罗见势不妙就想溜走,但伽内什用菩提子手串困住了他们,最终三连城在大天的箭下化为火海,阿修罗临死前祈求原谅,大天赐福他们来生成为他真正的信徒。父子俩班师回朝,伽内什问为何战车的其他部分都已回归,唯独比那迦弓仍持手中,大天道出持斧罗摩。
小象问帕子持斧罗摩是何许人,帕子道出一番往事。他是毗湿奴的第六化身,降世为食火仙人与梨奴迦之子,早年师从大天学艺。食火仙人为考验儿子的忠诚,让四个儿子弑母。四子不从,被仙人变为石头。第五子持斧听命弑母后,利用赐福让母亲和兄长复活。大天将神弓赐予持斧,是为了通过持斧之手匡扶正法。
帕子接着讲述了持斧罗摩一家横遭惨祸的事。千臂阿周那看中食火家的神牛想要把它牵走,食火不肯,于是被灭满门。持斧获赐湿婆神斧,为复仇斩断阿周那千臂,又把刹帝利屠杀二十一遍,但怒火仍未熄灭,迦叶波仙人劝之无效,伽内什决定亲自出马去安抚持斧,然而梵天预见了未来的不幸。
持斧听从迦叶波的劝告,停止杀戮,但他在隐修之前仍需前往吉罗娑归还神弓。这时一群矮仙也来到吉罗娑,想要为大天夫妇举行普祭。大天告诉儿子,矮仙脾气暴躁,喜欢诅咒,千万不可得罪。伽内什小心翼翼,两次化解危机。大天命儿子在普祭期间守门,不让任何人进入,帕尔瓦蒂回想起之前的守门惨案,心中不安。
伽内什帮助矮仙准备普祭用品,还招来蚂蚁大军把他们送去了祭坛。持斧抵达吉罗娑,众神纷纷预感大事不妙,因为上一次伽内什也是守门守出了乱子,而持斧的暴脾气也闻名全宇宙。但众神无一人前去阻拦,南迪想要阻拦却和上次一样欲言又止,穆湿迦想要阻拦但被持斧一脚震飞到伽内什怀中……这次宿命的相逢究竟会如何呢?
伽内什猜出持斧的身份,并告知他大天正在接受普祭,不宜见客。但固执的持斧认为自己是大天最忠诚的信徒,不会打扰普祭,千山万水赶来只为远远望上主一眼,便是一刻不能等。几个回合之后,双方终于从文斗变成武斗,一群看戏的天神也在提心吊胆(但津津有味地)评述剧情。预知武斗结果如何,请听下回分解。
伽内什告诉持斧,并不是不让他进,只是要等天黑普祭结束。持斧抓住空子,投出神斧遮挡日光,世界一片漆黑。失去太阳对万物不利,伽内什必须取回神斧。持斧本想趁伽内什取斧期间进入吉罗娑,但被南迪拖了时间,小象及时赶回,归还神斧。持斧终于知道他是大天之子,但这并未减轻他要立刻进门的执念。
持斧一怒裂地,结果把林伽震下山谷。小象和持斧一起跳崖救林伽,但进门这件事未能达成共识,一场战斗在所难免。持斧用摔角的哈奴曼式挑战小象,小象边打边学并未落了下风。但大天曾赐福持斧的摔角术天下无敌,伽内什陷入了要不要打赢他的两难。
持斧用各种招数对付小象,但都被小象巧妙抵挡,并且在打斗中学会了持斧的技艺。持斧的怒火越来越旺,最终祭出大天赐予的神斧。在天界诸神的围观中,小象为尊重父亲的赐福,没有躲闪,被神斧斩断一颗牙齿并晕厥过去。与此同时矮仙的普祭终于完成,帕子睁开眼睛仿佛听到儿子的呼喊。
帕尔瓦蒂冲出门寻找儿子,发现众神又齐刷刷站在门口,但谁都不肯告诉她伽内什的下落。持斧抱着昏迷的小象过来认罪,帕子要大天惩罚爱徒,大天再三回避话题后终于躲不过去,正告妻子说他并不愿惩罚持斧罗摩,因为那样会显得不公。帕子暴怒,决定亲自动手,于是变身迦梨。
小象醒来安抚母亲,但见效甚微。大天说只有那罗延的另一个化身才能安抚迦梨。于是伐摩纳登场,与毗湿奴、持斧罗摩一起为迦梨唱颂歌,迦梨终于冷静。伐摩纳说,伽内什断牙事件是对两人的赐福,伽内什因此获得圆满的至高主形态,持斧罗摩也诸罪并消。但为彻底解脱罪愆,持斧必须和小象前往黑天的所居牛界。小象启程之前,却预感到母亲将有意外。
The episode starts with Parvati saying why was Ganesh so worried while he was going? Mahadev asks Parvati not to be worried as her son has already been through so many difficulties and still came back. Parvati agrees with him and decides to give Mahadev and Ganesh a surprise when he is back. Later, a baby is born from darkness.
The episode starts with Parvati thinking about what Mahadev said, she has tears and is worried. Parshuram thanks Ganesh for freeing him from all the curses and sins. Parallelly, Parvati does the pooja of Shivling and by mistake puts wrong flowers.
小象回家,得知母亲被赶走的事,与父亲发生了一番争辩,并说动父亲去人间陪伴母亲。但大天怕妻子怀恨于他,让小象先去探探口风。于是小象带着伽那们为帕子修了一栋小屋,带去了大天的口信,帕子激动万分,因为这是第一次丈夫放下职责以她为重。与此同时,大天也在吉罗娑殷切期盼儿子携来的回音。
大天等到小象带来的消息,立刻启程去见帕子,但苦修多年的阿修罗罗姆也在此时呼唤大天,并以死相逼。大天面对是去见妻子还是去见信徒的两难选择。最终他以职责为重,去见信徒。罗姆要求赐福给他长生不死的儿子。大天并不愿意,因为知道他的儿子将是阿修罗王摩西沙。与此同时,等不到丈夫的乌玛万分伤心,决定离开。
罗姆与大天就赐福一事讨价还价,最后终于达成协议,但为时已晚,大天赶到帕尔瓦蒂的小屋,已经人去屋空。帕尔瓦蒂绝望之时,听到了信徒迦旃衍那的呼唤,便应他祈求,化身为迦旃衍尼,成为仙人之女。大天得知消息,十分伤心,但毫无办法。同时,因陀罗得知摩西沙已经出世,又开始惶恐不安。
大天失去帕尔瓦蒂后非常伤心,南迪道出萨蒂死后大天的状态,担心旧事重演。伽内什劝慰父亲无效,决定去把母亲找回来。已成为仙人之女的迦旃衍尼告诉他,自己这一化身另有目的,暂时无法回去。同时,担忧的天帝带着阎摩杀死了摩西沙之父,但最后一刻想起天神正法,饶了摩西沙一命。摩西沙在苏羯罗的指导下矢志复仇。
With a vengeful desire to exact revenge of his father's death, a grown up Mahishasur evokes Brahma and demands that he give him a boon. Meanwhile, Ganesh travels to a hermitage to meet Parvati, who has taken an avatar.
摩西沙攻打天界,俘虏了正在举行姜黄红粉礼的众女神,并把她们当人质。天神们归来,被阿修罗们挡在天界门外,投鼠忌器不敢动手。因陀罗和苏利耶前往吉罗娑求援,伽内什自告奋勇去解救女神。与此同时,女神们也在祈祷除障者的救援。
伽内什带领女神们逃出王宫,又被阿修罗抓获,被带到了摩西沙面前。伽内什假意为摩西沙唱歌,实则讽刺,把摩西沙气得暴跳。摩西沙让手下把女神和伽内什关入大牢,但他们半路逃出王宫,而后遇到了阿修罗大军的阻挡。伽内什把女神托于掌心,力战阿修罗。
天神不敌摩西沙。继而派出各自坐骑去和化为牛形的摩西沙打斗,坐骑们纷纷败下阵来,连迦楼罗也不是对手,最后南迪上场。伽内什知道只有母亲才能杀死摩西沙,但他似乎没有开口说服父亲的机会。
众天神联手对付摩西沙,仍然一败涂地。大天和毗湿奴亲自出马。三叉戟和妙见朝摩西沙飞过去的时候,梵天现身为摩西沙挡住了武器,因为他曾赐福摩西沙,会保护他。小象劝阻父亲和舅舅收回武器,免得伤害姑父。但摩西沙越发不可一世。
伽内什告诉众人,只有迦旃衍尼才能杀死摩西沙,于是众神前去祈求女神帮忙。但任凭天神和小象好话说尽,迦旃衍尼不为所动。最后大天亲自来求,女神并没有如愿听到她想听的话,但仍然履行职责,化为迦旃衍尼的神圣形态。
众神纷纷以武器相赠迦旃衍尼,女神由此获得完全形态,前往文底耶山等待与摩西沙宿命的相逢。小象为了让摩西沙早死早超生,去警告并戏弄摩西沙,牛魔暴怒之下开始折磨无辜的村民,他的死期也快到了。
摩西沙折磨老弱妇孺,伽内什现身警告他将死于萨克蒂女神之手。摩西沙梦见自己被女神追杀,梦醒后苏羯罗告之这就是迦旃衍尼,他应速速前去请罪,但从未将女性放在眼里的摩西沙置若罔闻,反而让手下去文底耶山向女神提亲。
小象在摩西沙前往文底耶的路上设置了很多障碍,摩西沙的大军遭遇了狂风、血雨和死蛇、狼嚎,但摩西沙并不把这些噩兆放在心上,厚颜无耻地要迦旃衍尼嫁给他。女神骑狮下山,迎战摩西沙。这将警告世人,轻视女性者会得到应有的下场。
摩西沙的大军被迦旃衍尼挫败。他亲自上阵,化身为牛与女神搏斗,但他命中注定死于女神之手。众神的萨克蒂齐聚战场,力量与女神合而为一。迦旃衍尼诛杀摩西沙后,怒火难以平息,跳起了坦达瓦。毗神为了安抚女神,带领众神唱起了《诛摩西沙者颂》之歌。
诛杀摩西沙后,女神和湿婆闹别扭又离开了吉罗娑。同时苏羯罗从大天那里得到了不死之咒商吉婆尼,他将辅佐新的阿修罗王安陀迦。安陀迦篇正式开场。
苏羯罗找到了安陀迦,告诉他他有打败天神,征服宇宙的力量,要他成为新一代的阿修罗王,恢复阿修罗一族的荣誉。安陀迦确认自己的力量后,决定开始他的征程。
帕尔瓦蒂按照父亲迦旃衍那的嘱咐,在念珠断裂之地开始苦修,发誓大天将怀着尊重与爱,将她再次娶回吉罗娑。同时,阿修罗王钵罗诃罗陀对毗湿奴长期的敬奉,引起阿修罗界的不满,而苏羯罗看中了安陀迦的力量,将他推举上了王座,并准备与天神开战。
苏羯罗告诉安陀迦,要打败天神,必须夺走他们的室利即拉克什米。于是安陀迦开始为财富女神苦修。毗恭吒的夫妇发生了争执,拉克什米要求毗湿奴说服大天找回萨克蒂,被毗拒绝后,拉克什米愤而离家出走。她满意于安陀迦的苦修,但没想到他索要的赐福是让她永远留在地界。
拉克什米迫于赐福答应了安陀迦留在地界。天界失去了光辉。伽内什和安陀迦分别在两界招兵买马,准备神魔大战。
大战前夕,前阿修罗王钵罗诃罗陀请求毗湿奴再给安陀迦一次改过自新的机会,于是伽内什前往地界和谈,帕尔瓦蒂现身云端祝福了小象。
小象作为和谈使者前往地界,发现拉克什米被关在宫殿里。安陀迦并不将伽内什放在眼中,于是伽内什严重警告了黑暗之子,破坏了他的宫殿,动摇了他的军心。苏羯罗安慰阿修罗王,室利在他们手中,因此胜券在握。安陀迦招来了厉害的部下,一场天神阿修罗大战在即。
大战在即,天神和阿修罗各自显摆阵容,显示力量。安陀迦那边有特种兵,伽内什这边有各种神。迦絺吉夜用全息投影为众人讲解了己方战略。双方摩拳擦掌只等天亮开战。
迦絺吉夜调兵遣将,部署战略,看来万无一失,但开战后不知为何天神的力量都减弱了。另一方面,被杀死的阿修罗也在苏羯罗的商吉婆尼咒下复活。力量此消彼长,天神败下阵来。三相神明白,原因在于拉克什米。室利在哪,胜利和吉祥就在哪。
时势不利,天神们溃不成军,连迦絺吉夜和伽内什都力量不支。梵天念经镇住阿修罗,大天运用他的力量帮助天神拒敌,但三相神知道这样也撑不了多久。毗湿奴告诉小象,他们这是受到了耶瑟陀的影响。耶瑟陀是拉克什米的姐姐,代表一切不利和灾祸。
三相神和天神苦苦支撑。毗湿奴告诉小象耶瑟陀的来历,她也生自搅乳海,因天生不祥而只能生活在地界,并得到了以非法为食的赐福。伽内什前去寻找耶瑟陀,并以智慧取得了耶瑟陀的信任,带她来到安陀迦的宫殿解救拉克什米。
耶瑟陀在伽内什的误导下,以为拉克什米要跟她抢地界,她迫不及待来到地界,所经之处一切都颓败腐烂,变得不洁。由此破除了赐福的条件,拉克什米离开了宫殿。吉祥和幸运重回天神这边,他们的力量都恢复了,阿修罗一败涂地,但这时苏羯罗用商吉婆尼咒复活了阿修罗。
苏羯罗继续用不死咒复活阿修罗,小象愤而去找大天要求他惩罚苏羯罗。大天将苏羯罗吞下腹中,苏羯罗见到了整个宇宙,终于悔悟。阿修罗失去导师的帮助纷纷溃败,但安陀迦并不愿就此认输。同时,拉克什米赐福伽内什,从此普祭同享。
钵罗诃罗陀前往地界说服安陀迦放弃战争,向毗湿奴请罪。他讲述了人狮那罗辛哈的故事。钵罗诃罗陀在母亲腹中时已是毗神信徒,他孩提时期,父亲金床因为儿子信仰问题想要杀了他,但毗神化身为人狮杀了金床。钵罗诃罗陀意在劝诫,但安陀迦听完故事后变本加厉地想要报复天神。
众神以为安陀迦大势已去,准备结束战争,但黑暗之子唤来了终极杀手补米伽,那是一款能随时隐身并有四个分身的阿修罗。天神再次不敌。伽内什设计困住安陀迦,进入宫殿寻找机密,他发现隐身阿修罗的力量之源就在一堆水晶球中。
伽内什和天神一起玩起了球赛,把安陀迦逗得团团转,最终杀死了隐身阿修罗。走投无路的安陀迦解下了蒙眼布,黑暗笼罩世界。伽内什和迦絺吉夜用神力再次封锁了安陀迦的双目。安陀迦又变身为野猪破坏世界,这次轮到三相神上场,但还是拿他无可奈何。伽内什请母亲相助,帕尔瓦蒂化身迦梨。
安陀迦挑战众神,以为无人能杀死他,迦梨赶赴战场,与大天共持三叉戟,制伏了安陀迦。湿婆为惩罚黑暗之子,将他一路叉回吉罗娑。而迦梨不顾大天的挽留又回去苦修。战神从弟弟那里听说了父母不合的前因后果,前往劝说母亲,但帕尔瓦蒂已深入冥想,她念诵的千名颂传到吉罗娑,神圣之音令安陀迦幡然悔悟。
安陀迦不停吟诵湿婆之名,终于得到宽恕,成为伽那留在吉罗娑。同时在大天腹中的苏羯罗也因苦修而获宽恕,回返金星。两个儿子劝说父亲也接受母亲的苦修,但大天却说要考验妻子。他解开发髻,恒河之水降下大地,向帕子冲去。迦絺吉夜骑上孔雀前去阻拦。
这是一场速度的竞赛。迦絺吉夜刚拦住第一道洪流,大天又释放了第二道。伽内什请求毗神帮忙。毗神骑上迦楼罗,飞速赶到现场拦住了第二道水。大天不紧不慢地释放了第三道,伽内什只得亲自上阵。三人好不容易拦住了所有的水,大天并未就此收手,第四道更巨大的洪流落下大地…
迦梨抵挡了第四道恒河洪流,但大天乐此不疲放出了第五道...帕尔瓦蒂终于从冥想中醒来,意识到情况后,不躲不闪抱着林伽被水淹没。洪涛过后,湿帕相拥出现,原来林伽变成了本尊。一番情话后,乌玛准备随夫回吉罗娑,但小象提醒母亲她的誓约尚未完成。三相神撺掇湿婆必须迎娶女神,大天答应了。这对夫妇相约婚礼再见。
双方分头筹备婚事,伽内什纠结是留在父亲这边,还是母亲那边,最后决定两边都串门。新娘这边,毗首羯磨建造了婚礼的宫殿,众女神将之装修一新。新郎那边,众天神为如何筹备商议纷纷,最后决定省事,因为婚礼不会在吉罗娑举行。迦旃衍那作为新娘父亲,前往吉罗娑送彩礼。
大天急于娶妻,不耐烦繁琐的礼节,但他只能等待儿子先给乌玛举行姜黄礼,之后才轮到他。双方筹备婚事之际,阿修罗王蠢蠢欲动,想要趁机霸占吉罗娑。
众神穿戴一新参加迎亲,主角却仍然兽皮抹灰出场,两个儿子决定要让父亲改换形象。阿陀利仙人夫妇为大天送来婚礼物品。另一边女神们也在为帕尔瓦蒂梳妆打扮。迎亲队载歌载舞,前往女神的宫殿。与此同时,阿修罗王丹巴率领大军,发兵吉罗娑。
婚宴上,两个儿子溜出去见母亲,他们惊叹女神盛装的姿容,想到父亲仍然一身兽皮实在不般配,便让母亲说服父亲换装。大天在妻子的要求下,在婚前隔帘与她相见,回来却神情严肃。众人惶恐之际,他说帕尔瓦蒂的要求就是要他以至美形态完婚,他装出生气的样子只是想跟大家开个玩笑…
大天和帕尔瓦蒂终于婚礼。婚礼上,迦旃衍那依例询问新郎的出身,伽内什给了圆满的回答。经过一系列复杂的仪式,婚礼终于完成,新郎新娘相约返回吉罗娑。与此同时,阿修罗丹巴也率领大军攻到了吉罗娑。
大天夫妇完婚,为纪念此事,众神纷纷建立神庙,大天命名了女神创建的林伽,也建立了爱欲母神庙。之后,大天忆苦思甜,讲述了他们第一次婚姻,即萨蒂的故事。萨蒂是萨克蒂转世,生为达刹之女并嫁与湿婆,但达刹并不赞同她与湿婆的婚姻。达刹举行火祭之际,众神都收到邀请前往,唯独湿婆没有。萨蒂想和夫君一起参加火祭,湿婆认为不邀而去只会招致恶果,但固执的萨蒂坚持前往,她在火祭上并未受到欢迎。
萨蒂的不请自来,结果如大天所料,不但没有受到父亲的欢迎,还蒙受羞辱。萨蒂不堪丈夫受辱,在叱骂父亲与在场众神之后,以瑜伽之火自焚。南迪发觉情况不妙,冲进去已经来不及了。
南迪要杀达刹为主母复仇,被婆利古唤来的军队阻拦。萨蒂的灵魂前往吉罗娑告别,大天终于相信萨蒂之死的事实,招来雄贤和迦梨,命令他们捣毁祭坛,除去达刹。于是毁灭性的灾难开始了。
雄贤迦梨大开杀戒,天帝等天神想要阻拦未能成功,达刹求助那罗延,毗湿奴考虑到他跟雄贤作战宇宙将要不保,放弃了达刹,一干天神全部跑光。最终雄贤把达刹的头拧下来投入祭火。
梵天和毗湿奴请求大天让达刹复活。大天来到火祭现场,用羊头复活了达刹。达刹洗心革面,追悔己失。大天看到萨蒂的尸体,痛不欲生,他在幻觉中见到萨蒂和自己欢欢喜喜地参加火祭,又见到萨蒂火中自焚,他悔恨未能陪伴萨蒂一同起来。大天在绝望中抱起萨蒂离开,梵天感觉大事不妙。
大天回忆萨蒂的往事,跳起坦达瓦舞,大地在他脚下腾起火焰,宇宙行星破碎,三界摇摇欲坠。众神请求毗湿奴解决问题。毗湿奴骑上迦楼罗飞临狂舞中的湿婆,用妙见分解了萨蒂的尸身,碎块坠落大地化为萨克蒂座。其中之一就是大天夫妇结婚的地点,爱欲母座。之后回忆结束,众神护送大天夫妇回返吉罗娑,他们终于发现老家出事了。
吉罗娑前出现了一道无形的屏障,隔开了两个儿子和众神。天神们合力想打破屏障,不料能量反弹后攻向吉罗娑,差点把大天的老家给毁了。众人对这力量的来源惊异不已,大天说出火林伽往事,原来霸占吉罗娑的丹巴阿修罗是梵天的衍生体。
众神对屏障问题束手无策,伽内什和迦絺吉夜已经在屏障里了,他们发誓要解决阿修罗。他们在吉罗娑大门口玩一种叫打猫的游戏,吸引阿修罗的注意。丹巴的两个儿子出门观看,被伽内什当成了棍子和球,被打得满天飞。丹巴还高兴地围观,直到他发现被打的是自己的儿子…
擅长摩耶幻术的毗湿耶阿修罗制造出吉罗娑被毁的假象,伽内什被惑,非常悲伤,失去了斗志。帕尔瓦蒂化身摩诃摩耶女神,指点儿子摩耶和阿特曼的真谛,至高神大伽那主也现身指引,阐述宇宙终极之境。伽内什洞彻摩耶,明白眼前的一切只是幻象。
伽内什帮助哥哥看破了摩耶幻境,两人定下计策,欺骗阿修罗兄弟上当,以为他们的力量只有在吉罗娑才能发挥作用。于是阿修罗兄弟带着伽内什兄弟飞出吉罗娑,冲破了无形屏障飞入太空。
迦絺吉夜和伽内什兵分两路,弟弟在太空中对付毗湿耶和孙达,哥哥去吉罗娑对阵丹巴。伽内什一再破解毗湿耶的摩耶幻术之后,杀死了他们并把他们扔到了吉罗娑。丹巴愤恨之下利用吉罗娑屏障的能量来攻击迦絺吉夜。危险之际伽内什也来到吉罗娑,化为骑狮形象。
伽内什破解了吉罗娑的屏障,化身为曲鼻尊,将丹巴抛入玛那沙圣湖,涤清而来丹巴的罪孽。丹巴悔悟,故事告一段落。大天一家返回吉罗娑,大天一反常态让迦絺吉夜多盘桓数日。帕尔瓦蒂正要享受亲子时光,一个大仙人闯入指责诸神不顾民间疾苦,此时正天下大旱,民不聊生。伽内什发誓解决问题,他准备去找负责施雨的天帝。
天帝出差多日,回宫正要跟舍脂温存,伽内什飞叶传信叫他去吉罗娑商量要事。天帝不肯去,认为自己下班的私人时间被占有,怒气冲冲要去找大天理论。大天知道天帝傲慢的老毛病又犯了,化身为无畏者(食人僧)躺在路上拦道,要给天帝一个教训。天帝见状,愈加愤怒,叫来爱罗婆多想把大天的化身踹开。
天帝命令爱罗婆多去踩无畏者,但白象认出对方是大天,流着泪跪倒在无畏者面前。天帝愈怒,举起金刚杵,大天恢复原形,责骂天帝的过失,并睁开第三只眼,喷出火球。天帝仓皇逃命,千钧一发之时,伽内什赶到,捞起天帝,两人骑着老鼠继续逃命。另一方,梵天毗湿奴迦絺吉夜都在为天帝求情,但并不奏效。
天帝向大天求饶,大天在最后一刻宽恕了天帝,但怒火无法收回,只能将之引入大海。梵天感觉此事不妥,想向大天说明个中危险,但吉罗娑正忙于探讨南方旱情。差点让天帝毙命的旱灾原来根源是在投山仙人那里,他把自己的妻子高韦里河困在了壶中。大天讲述了投山的来历,迦絺吉夜则一脸崇拜地讲述了早年跟随投山学艺的经历。
迦絺吉夜讲述完随投山学艺的经历后,天帝接着讲述了在过去的一场天神-阿修罗大战中,投山帮助天神,把海水喝干的故事,这一事件也直接造成南方缺水大旱。最后引出投山求亲的故事,他要娶的妻子就是高韦里河的化身残印公主,但国王并不愿意把女儿嫁给他。
高韦罗王说他的女儿是毗神所赐之女,并非寻常公主,以此为借口想要拒婚,但残印向父亲说明,这一切都是毗湿奴的安排,她命中注定会嫁给投山,她也欣赏投山的学识和品行。于是投山娶了残印,告辞离去,他们路上遇见了文底耶山因为傲慢而不停增长,给当地造成了灾害。同时,在吉罗娑听这个故事的梵天,也在担忧海中的隐患。
深海的事故正在酝酿,怪兽吞噬了人鱼之后,变成了水持。梵天几次三番想说却没有开口机会,吉罗娑的故事会还在继续。投山仙人慑服文底耶山后,继续南行,他们遇见了食人盗财的阿修罗兄弟伐陀毗,投山假意答应赴宴,实则打算除掉恶魔。
伐陀毗兄弟用老一套的办法来对付投山仙人,但投山在伐陀毗破腹而出之前就消化了他,为世间除去一对祸患。之后在大天的故事中,投山与残印恩爱日深,残印化身为河的瞬间,投山不舍得妻子离去,利用自己的大神通将她装入瓮中,于是南方的旱情仍在持续。伽内什决定去找投山说服他放了残印。
伽内什听了穆湿迦的建议,先后用龙卷风和闪电,想要打断投山仙人的冥想,可不但没有成功,还差点把穆湿迦给搭了进去。最后他让穆湿迦挖了一条地道通往投山身边,自己变成乌鸦,终于进入了投山设下的结界,挥动翅膀想要打翻水罐,投山终于从冥想中醒来。
伽内什再次化身乌鸦,这次他成功地让投山仙人自己打翻了水罐,放出残印。残印成为高韦里河,滔滔流经南方大地,解除了旱灾。投山大怒,要诅咒乌鸦,大伽那主现身说明原委,投山知错悔改。同时,水持的力量正在增长。
投山仙人的事情解决之后,终于轮到梵天心心念念的水持了,等到众神发现大天的怒火造成的祸患,水持已经威霸一方。毗铃陀在海边初遇水持,一见钟情,为了得到水持,她用歌声引诱水持,并把自己变成了阿修罗女。
毗铃陀将水持引入山洞,想要困住水持,水持与她大打出手后,发现她是以前无意中救过他的那个女子,并且拥有一项赐福,她的丈夫永生不死。于是水持与毗铃陀结婚,相约联手征服宇宙。同时投山与残印也将迎来光明的结局。
水持与毗铃陀前去寻找苏羯罗讨教征服宇宙大法,水持背着毗铃陀攀岩来到山顶,见到了苏羯罗,却被苏羯罗第一眼误会为湿婆。水持由此得到启迪,矢志成为新一代的神。同时在吉罗娑,关于潜在罪犯是否需要惩罚的会议落下帷幕,大天力排众议,认为不应在水持作恶之前杀死他。
苏羯罗要水持进入两个山洞,考验他是否有成为至高神的潜力。水持在第一个山洞中意外遇见了巨蟒所化的毗铃陀,并被其蛊惑,苏羯罗预言说山洞中所见的幻象乃是水持的真实,说明他的妻子迟早会成为他的障碍,但水持拒绝离开毗铃陀,并进入了第二个山洞。
水持进入第二个山洞,见到了湿婆。他向湿婆挑战,但被轻而易举地打败,并被三叉戟所杀。水持脱离幻境后,被苏羯罗告知,这预示着他的另一个命运,他将会被大天打败,因此万万不可接近吉罗娑。水持决心建造自己的吉罗娑,苏羯罗把力量传给了他。
水持仿制了一个吉罗娑,和原版并排放在一起,并大肆改造为金碧辉煌的福天洞地,和毗铃陀自称为宇宙之主和萨克蒂。众神前去探究,差点错认为水持是大天。
水持自称为神并要众神向他敬拜的举动惹火了天神们,他们回去禀报大天,希望大天能将这个祸患扼杀在摇篮里。可是大天认为水持目前并没有犯罪,仅仅自称为神并无实际伤害。伽内什甚至讲了一个故事想要说服大天,但大天不为所动。争执的结果是双方保留意见散会。但紧接着苏利耶上班路上遭到了袭击。
苏利耶上班被水持阻拦,水持非要日神承认自己的地位才肯放他过去,双方动口继而动手,苏利耶不敌被打下马车。同时天界和吉罗娑都发现了这一异动,太阳竟然第一次没有按时升起。
同气连枝的天神们前去救援苏利耶,但被水持打得惨不忍睹,还差点被踩死,关键时刻伽内什驾着日神的马车来救,一行人逃脱水持魔爪后,陪同苏利耶继续去上班。
天神逃回吉罗娑求助,迦絺吉夜怒而要去惩罚水持,伽内什拦住了哥哥说只有父亲才能杀死水持,我们必须设法让水持靠近吉罗娑。之后他给天神布置了任务,引诱水持上钩。
天神来到水持面前假意奉承,各自作了述职报告,而后小象和迦絺吉夜也来了,战神按捺不住与阿修罗动手,伽内什把场面化险为夷。
伽内什兄弟住进了水持的吉罗娑,他们捏了林伽,为大天做普祭,惹怒了水持。水持要惩罚他们,但小象说那是因为他缺乏作为至高神的自信。
小象向水持讲述了林伽的意义、火林伽和创世的故事,想要给水持灌输真理,但水持听完故事仍然不信,认为湿婆是冒牌货,他一脚踢向了林伽。
捣蛋兄弟组以祭祀至高神为名,先后给水持泼水和撒灰,把水持弄得狼狈不堪,终于发作发誓要杀了他们。
捣蛋兄弟组又折腾了水持一番,水持招来众天神,命令日神西升东落,月神日出夜伏,元素天神停止工作。众神去大天面前作了一通,一个个说想把武器留在吉罗娑,自己出去休长假流浪……于是水到渠成,伽内什成功激怒大天。大天一声怒吼传到了水持的寝宫。
大天决定惩治水持,毗湿奴担心两者相斗将会危及宇宙,提出自己先去劝服水持,水持果然不听劝,于是毗神与水持动起手来。水持用幻惑力控制了迦楼罗,大鸟载着主人朝外太空飞去,一路砸了无数个星球…
小象告诉舅舅水持只能被湿婆所杀。毗神正要离去,水持抓住了迦楼罗的腿不让他走。迦梨怒而出战,与水持激烈搏斗,但不管怎么杀水持总能满血复活。大天终于决定亲自动手。
湿婆骑牛来到战场,支走了杀不死水持的迦梨,但他自己即便用上神斧,也仍然无法杀死一次次复活的水持。同时苏羯罗知道水持违背了他的训导,已然无救。
湿婆用五元素惩治了水持,但水持不死,他越来越怒。帕尔瓦蒂担心他的怒火将危及宇宙,便在吉罗娑举行普祭安抚湿婆。湿婆与水持展开恶战后冷静下来,但斩去水持脑袋后他依然复活。
伽内什和毗神追忆前情,发现毗铃陀才是关键所在,只要她活着,水持就死不了。于是伽内什前往水持宫殿,使计引诱毗铃陀追赶。
伽内什引毗铃陀来到她旧日苦修的神庙,毗铃陀想起了自己曾经虔诚敬奉那罗延,痛悔己失。为破除赐福,毗铃陀自杀。同时,湿婆的三叉戟也正朝水持飞去。
毗铃陀得到了毗神的宽恕,水持死后灵魂悔过,也得到了解脱。伽内什遵循父命,毁灭了山寨版吉罗娑,将之沉入海底。那罗陀为伽内什谱写颂歌。三界焕然一新,自然欣欣向荣。水持篇至此结束,新的篇章即将开启。
吉罗娑的洒红节庆典即将开幕,帕尔瓦蒂却表现得很奇怪。她不时地情绪失控,暴躁易怒,还强行把要去南方执勤的迦絺吉夜留在家中。敏感的伽内什觉察到母亲的异样,十分担心。
洒红节前夜的焚烧霍利迦仪式在吉罗娑举行。湿婆向儿子讲述了这一仪式的意义。之后伽内什兄弟率领伽那前往毗恭吒邀请毗神夫妇参加次日的蓝果丽节(洒红节)。同时,暴脾气的敝衣仙人被洒红节的歌舞声烦扰,决定前往吉罗娑给众人一点颜色看看。
小象兄弟前往各界约请所有天神去吉罗娑参加洒红庆典。同时吉罗娑的准备工作如火似荼地进行着,迦絺吉夜当了节庆总管,拿着一揽子清单核对厨房食材。陀陀拉好像在酿制一种酒(不知道是不是大天最爱的那种),喝得醉醺醺的,成为上半集的搞笑担当。下半集天神们带着妻子说说笑笑赶赴吉罗娑,但天帝半路发现敝衣仙人,立刻叫大家停下,免得惊扰那个暴脾气惹来诅咒。众神蹑手蹑脚想绕过敝衣,还是被仙人发现喝停,他像训导主任一样打量战战兢兢的天神。率先来到吉罗娑的毗神夫妇,被小象撒了一脸红粉,似乎要发怒。敝衣和毗神到底会不会发怒,请看下回分解。
大天笑嘻嘻给毗神抹了一脸的彩粉,毗神把妙见放到半空旋转,给众人撒粉,吉罗娑变成欢庆的海洋……同时天神卡在了敝衣那里,因陀罗向众人讲述了敝衣曾经诅咒大天的故事。湿帕首次结婚前,敝衣曾发怒诅咒大天不得以此形态结婚,故而才有大天变成至美形象的后续。天神蹑手蹑脚经过仙人,还是被发现,仙人听他们说完事由,并没有发怒,但他自己也想去吉罗娑参加节日了。
众神欢庆洒红节,伽内什兄弟俩故意让俱毗罗跌进水里,大天和帕尔瓦蒂彼此情意绵绵地对视着,连敝衣来到都没察觉。敝衣连叫三声不应,大怒诅咒大天夫妇离开吉罗娑。大天认为洒红节不应让信徒失望,于是立刻和女神从吉罗娑消失了。
大天和主母离开吉罗娑后,敝衣仙人追悔不及,差点自杀。毗湿奴说敝衣的怒火中总是蕴藏着世人的福祉。伽内什追问原因,敝衣讲述了曾经诅咒妻子的悲惨往事。柯德利因为叫醒敝衣进行普祭,被易怒的丈夫烧成灰烬。在股生仙人的提示下,敝衣赐福柯德利成为对世人有益的香蕉树,这就是香蕉树的来历。
毗湿奴带领大家来到火葬场,众人发现大天和帕尔瓦蒂已经变为摩滕伽和摩滕吉的形态,在鬼灵的围绕下翩翩起舞,抛撒骨灰。伽内什担心父母抛弃了吉罗娑。这时摩根德耶仙人来到,他说是听到了主母的召唤,特来与伽内什相见。摩根德耶仙人将会引出什么故事?帕尔瓦蒂的十慧母故事将会如何?敬请期待十慧母篇。
伽内什在大伽那主的指点下了解到,母亲即将变身为摩诃迦梨,讲述她的十个化身故事。他和天神们一起堆起林伽祈祷。帕尔瓦蒂来到恒河边,意识到时刻已到,便沉入水中。
在伽内什的不断提问中,摩诃迦梨对众人讲述了至高梵的奥义,宇宙开创之谜,以及毗湿奴如何从瑜伽之眠中醒来的故事。
正如摩诃迦梨所希望的那样,盖达跋-摩图和毗湿奴展开了一场大战。毗湿奴用上了十八般武器,但两个阿修罗一次次死而复生,他们是因摩诃摩耶女神的赐福而生,并不那么容易被杀死。
梵天发现只有摩诃迦梨才能除掉阿修罗,于是他开始祈求女神。摩诃摩耶现身,导演了一场戏,她让摩图-盖达跋给毗湿奴一个赐福,毗湿奴便要了能够杀死他们的赐福,但这个赐福是有条件的,即不能在水上杀死他们。
本集是摩诃迦梨创世的开篇,详细讲述了她如何利用摩图-盖达跋的躯体创造大地,如何以怛罗化身与不动者(湿婆化身)结合并创造生命之源太阳。世上有了水,大地,光和热,才能继续创造生命,那便是下一集万有母的故事。
摩诃迦梨详细讲述了丽三城与万有母创造生灵与各界的故事。主要故事是半女世尊分离而成两性,梵天创造人类,迦叶波与达刹女诞育众灵,上下十四界的名称与各自功能。湿婆也相应呈现了五面尊与三目尊的形态。
摩诃迦梨讲述了她被迫保护阿修罗王檀奴克的故事。阿修罗女檀奴迦是萨克蒂女神的信徒,她多年苦修换来主母的赐福,赐给她森林和永远的保护。但檀奴克并不满足,准备借此赐福率军攻占人间。
檀奴迦利用赐福,把森林当成宇宙飞船,带阿修罗大军来到人间,奴役仙人。仙人们举行心祭向女神求助。同时天神们也来到人间想要解救仙人。
因为萨克蒂女神亲自现身保护森林,天神们发现自己无法奈何檀奴克,他们陷入了两难。
那罗陀提议去找股生仙人救援。天神们和那罗陀前往净修林向仙人说明情况,仙人了解因果后,决定出手相助。
股生仙人的诅咒使得阿修罗处于劣势,檀奴迦求助阿蒂萨克蒂女神。女神说赐福和诅咒同时有效,一切皆因业果。檀奴迦带着森林和阿修罗离开人间,但故事并未结束。
阿修罗迁居海中后开始折磨海上旅人,天神对此无可奈何。但有一日阿修罗抓来的善爱是湿婆的虔诚信徒。他不停祈祷大天,大天现身海岛保护信徒,湿婆和萨克蒂的冲突一触即发。
大天要杀檀奴克,檀奴迦请来阿蒂萨克蒂。女神保护了阿修罗。大天并不想与女神开战,转而诅咒所行非法的阿修罗丧命。瞬间阿修罗们纷纷死去,檀奴克也奄奄一息。女神却违背诅咒,保证阿修罗在森林中都会安全。夫妻之间的气氛越发紧张。
女神和大天进行口舌之战后,合并为半女世尊,统一意见。檀奴克被迦梨惩罚后得到宽恕,终于悔改。半女世尊在森林中立下光辉林伽,监督阿修罗并赐福世人。在小象的追问下,摩诃迦梨开启了无首母的故事。
新崛起的独眼阿修罗率领大军攻打天界,天神一如既往落败,天界落入敌手。无首母女神出现了。
无首母降临天界,挑战独眼。独眼派出左右臂膀迎战,但他们先后被怛罗和迦梨杀死。本集有本剧目前为止最美最暴烈的迦梨和怛罗,打斗镜头拍得极好。
独眼和无首母展开了最终回合的较量。独眼召集阿修罗大军,女神召集64位瑜伽母。瑜伽母毫无悬念地杀光了阿修罗大军。但瑜伽母继续渴求鲜血,无首母砍下自己的头,用自己鲜血喂饱了瑜伽母。这个化身的故事落幕。摩诃迦梨说,已有生,未有死,创造仍未完成。敬请期待畏怖母的故事。
畏怖母创造死神界,解决了人类有生无死的问题。死神的故事要从苏利耶说起。苏利耶光芒太盛,商耆娜不堪忍受,留下影子恰雅作为替身,自己前往人间苦修。但此事被苏利耶之子阎摩戳穿。
毗首羯磨用最后的日光碎屑打造出了连他自己都难以置信的死索。众天神都想得到死索,但无一能够驾驭这件威力极大的神器。神器择主,最终归于苏利耶之子,少年阎摩。畏怖母创造阎摩界,命阎摩为此界之主,明确了他的职责。
这集讲述了摩根德耶仙人的诞生、成长,并成为不死之人的经历。仙人摩利坎杜夫妇苦修求子,湿婆让他们二选一,是要聪慧而早夭的儿子,还是愚蠢而长命的儿子。仙人选了聪慧子,那就是摩根德耶。摩根德耶十六岁的前夜得知自己将死,为侍奉父母,他举行普祭向湿婆祈求长寿,同时阎摩已经前来向他索命。
阎摩使无功而返,阎摩大怒,责怪属下无能,亲自前往湿婆神庙索命。摩根德耶镇定自若祭祀大天。同时吉罗娑的帕尔瓦蒂想帮助摩根德耶,不停劝说湿婆出手。阎摩抛出死索,套住了抱住林伽的摩根德耶。帕尔瓦蒂大怒,跳起坦达瓦,湿婆终于睁开眼睛。
半女世尊欲惩罚阎摩,众天神一起求情,阎摩终于得到宽恕,同时摩根德耶也得到湿婆赐福,他的年龄永远停止在十六岁,永生不死。摩诃迦梨接着讲述烟女的故事。故事始于帕尔瓦蒂与三相神的意见不合,为了说服女神,那罗延策划了一次盛宴理拉。
在那罗延的策划下,大天故意没给妻子留饭,饥饿的帕尔瓦蒂怒火中烧,吞下宇宙,吞下湿婆,变成了烟女。事后湿婆讲述了烟女这一化身的意义乃是在于警戒世人,此世的业果将在此世兑现,而帕尔瓦蒂为这一化身牺牲自己的容貌和丈夫的陪伴,也是为世界作出的牺牲。
阿修罗特哩库在苦修后得到梵天赐福,他意欲成为宇宙之主,这引发了面缚母的故事。在摩诃迦梨的讲述中,面缚母为了教育世人,惩恶扬善而来到世间。
特哩库掀起一场宇宙风暴,吞噬各界,苏利耶上班途中受阻,众神一起前往梵天界求援,梵天意识到是自己赐福造成的问题,前往地界解决,不料特哩库的目标就是三相神。
毗湿奴意欲用妙见阻隔风暴,但失败了,梵天的赐福不可阻挡。湿婆建议战友们回来,这事要靠大女神解决。梵天和毗湿奴前往姜黄海祈求女神。同时,九曜即将卷入风暴,天神们奋力拖住行星,争取时间。
众天神苦苦支撑,对抗宇宙风暴,大天也来帮忙,千钧一发之际拯救了月球。这时毗神和梵天从姜黄海请来面缚母,她用催眠术幻惑了特哩库,风暴就此平息。
面缚母以祛除术幻惑了特哩库,制造出梵天的幻象,把阿修罗界搅得一团糟。特哩库面前的梵天只有他自己能看到,其他阿修罗都看不到,他们以为大王得了失心疯,对着一团空气毕恭毕敬地说话。
特哩库进一步精神失常,甚至把妻子看成了老虎,他发疯逃离阿修罗宫,面缚母对他心生怜悯,给了他最后一次机会,但特哩库恢复正常后继续挑衅三相神,面缚母终于痛下杀手,剁掉特哩库的舌头并杀死了他。本集最后由摩诃迦梨阐释了面缚母的意义和力量。下集将讲述摩滕吉的故事。
本集简洁地讲述了十慧母的末两位摩滕吉与莲花女的意义,室利的意义,详细讲述摩诃迦梨作为毁灭者的职责,即她的劫末理拉。在时轮往替中,至高神创造、维持、毁灭,摩诃迦梨以怛罗和嬉乐母(即丽三城)的形态制造灭世灾难,警戒世人,摩根德耶在劫末后孤身漂浮大海,得见毗湿奴的婴孩形态,这一切都在本集之中。本集是了解印度教世界观的很好的科普材料。
本集承接上集,继续大劫末的故事,万有母毁灭宇宙,包括三相神,摩诃迦梨与摩诃迦罗(大黑-大黑天)在灭世之舞后融为一体,回归宇宙诞生之初的太虚。这一个劫波就此结束了。本集的后半段,摩诃迦梨在消失之前,唯一一次对伽内什流露母爱。
为了寻找摩诃迦梨消失的秘密,伽内什兄弟俩来到湿婆冥想之地,发现了不祥的征兆。他们找到地震之源,原来是一大群阿修罗聚集在一起。为了查明真相,兄弟俩缩小身形混了进去。
这一集就像古龙小说里高手们出场的桥段,每次你觉得这个已经是顶顶厉害的人物,很快就会出来一个更厉害的,秒杀前面那个……阿修罗导师苏羯罗为了选拔新王,举办了一场比武大会,伽内什兄弟混入其中侦查敌情。先后出场的重要阿修罗有烟目,昌德,蒙德,血种。
阿修罗王的争夺赛还在进行。本集主要关于血种的特殊本领,他每滴落一滴血,就会变成一个新的分身,所以怎么杀都杀不尽。
本篇的大boss孙跋-尼孙跋终于出场,他们是两个人,又是一个人。昌德蒙德擅用雷电,烟目能化为烟雾,血种分身有术,孙跋尼孙跋又有什么特殊本领呢?
孙跋使出必杀绝技后,夺取王位。伽内什兄弟看到孙跋不仅力量超群而且有服众之才,感到一场大战迫在眉睫。
本集讲述了孙跋-尼孙跋兄弟的来历。他们的兄长那穆遮死于因陀罗之手,他们为了复仇进行苦修,并得到梵天的赐福,只能死于女子之手。本集是大半篇幅描述因陀罗-那穆遮的决斗,也是破天荒头一次天帝在弱势之下赢了阿修罗。
孙跋登上王位后,任命统帅,团结阿修罗,展示了他的领导天赋。战神看到阿修罗竖起大旗,一怒之下将之射落,引起阿修罗哗然。
战神从伽内什那里了解到了血种的来历,同时一群阿修罗美女来到天界,邀请天神前去地界参加孙跋的盛宴,天帝被美色所惑,不顾祭主导师的反对,答应了邀请。
天神们在阿修罗的宫殿中听着小曲,喝着美酒,称兄道弟,已经忘了自己是谁。阿修罗王:我原以为只有我们阿修罗才有弱点,原来天神比我们还不如。
伽内什和迦絺吉夜突然出现在阿修罗宴会上,所有人大吃一惊。苏羯罗非常提防伽内什,想把他赶走,但兄弟俩欲擒故纵,最终留了下来,想要揭穿阿修罗王的阴谋。
天神们一步步落入阿修罗安排好的陷阱,从友谊游戏变成了赌博大赛。阿修罗利用幻术骰子,让天神们先赢个痛快,直到他们欲罢不能。
天帝连赢两局,欲罢不能,第三局输掉了他心爱的坐骑爱罗婆多。心痛而懊恼的天帝赌红了眼,不顾众神的劝阻,一心要把白象赢回来,但这一切都是阿修罗的圈套。
天帝又陆续输掉了如意树、如意神牛。虽然其他天神都力劝他收手,但阿修罗的攻心计抓住了天帝的弱点,最终他输掉了自己的王位,眼看着“朋友们”对他翻脸,美女们把他嘲笑。
小象兄弟前来救场,面对一败涂地的局面,他们提出要押甘露,阿修罗无法拒绝这一究极诱惑,新的一局又开始了。首祭之神要如何力挽狂澜呢?
伽内什故意输掉穆湿迦之后,又使计暗中替换了阿修罗的幻术骰子,终于在最后一局翻本,把输掉的东西都赢了回来。然而孙跋会拱手相让胜利的果实吗?
孙跋意欲动武囚禁天神,伽内什化出五面尊形态,闪瞎了阿修罗们的眼,警告了苏羯罗。天神得回了输掉的财富,一场危机似乎已经过去……然而事情并没有那么简单。
小象和战神分头寻母,但怎么找都找不到。小象出奇招,以绝食抗议,逼迫帕尔瓦蒂喂他。女神派遣瑜伽母去跟小象讲道理,但瑜伽母被伽内什打动,带他来到女神冥想之地。小象这次真能见到母亲吗?
伽内什得知只有变为女身,才能进入山洞见到母亲,他得到大伽那主的指点,唤醒自己的阴性力量,变成了毗那夜姬。与此同时,阿修罗攻打天界,一场鏖战开场。
毗那夜姬跌跌撞撞见到了母亲,帕尔瓦蒂为女儿穿好纱丽,告诉她即将发生的事。同时,在天神与阿修罗之战中,天神渐落下风。
毗那夜姬告别母亲后,见到哥哥正在找她,便调戏哥哥取乐。战神惊喜地发现弟弟变成了女孩子,更惊喜地得知自己也要变成女孩子……与此同时,天神们被阿修罗俘虏关押起来。
天神们被阿修罗吊绑起来,孙跋还想要天界的甘露和女神,舍脂来到孙跋面前,怒叱阿修罗轻视女性的态度,并坚信大女神一定会保护她们。
阿修罗即将侵犯天界女神的时候,壳生主母保护了她们。被缚的五天神也趁机逃了出来,但不幸的是,因陀罗和伐由跑得太慢,又被孙跋抓了回去。
天神即将被阿修罗追上之时,伽内什兄弟飞驰援救。伽内什负责救助三天神,然而他们仨争先恐后想骑穆湿迦,反而耽误时间,战神横扫千军归来,他们还是一步没挪。还压趴了老鼠。同时天帝和伐由在孙跋手中惨遭凌虐。
本集继续打仗。迦絺吉夜离开去救援天帝和伐由。伽内什留下守卫父亲的火葬场。众人并不担心阿修罗会把他们打败,但是担心阿修罗会骚扰到大天的冥想,引发湿婆之怒毁天灭地……他们担心的事会发生吗?
关键时刻,摩根德耶念诵《女神之盾》,借用众生之母的力量,抵挡了阿修罗的进攻。同时迦絺吉夜闯入天界救出天帝和伐由。
伽内什和迦絺吉夜唱双簧,把烟目骗到了壳生女神的山洞门口,就等着主母收拾他了。
孙跋听说壳生的美貌后,派烟目去提亲,结果被女神狠狠嘲笑。
身为两朝老将的血种深知萨克蒂的厉害,他力劝孙跋不要跟女神对扛,但孙跋不听。与此同时,壳生杀死了屡教不改的烟目,并把他的尸首送回孙跋面前。
孙跋继续派遣两个阿修罗鲁鲁和牛麦和昌德蒙德兄弟去挑战女神,但鲁鲁和牛麦曾经见识过女神的厉害,他们见到壳生的神光后,拒绝上战场。
又是两个回合的战斗。先是阿修罗军与壳生鬼怪大军的对决,鬼怪大军在鲁鲁手下失利后,壳生派出迦梨震慑全场。
鲁鲁殒命之后,经历内部斗争,牛麦被昌德蒙德说服,开始冲杀战场。迦梨女神化出昌德马利女神 ,对阵牛麦和昌德蒙德兄弟。
昌德马利毫无悬念杀死牛麦,新一轮的战斗开始了,狡诈而胆小的昌德蒙德让军队打头阵,自己躲在后面使用飞轮战术攻击迦梨 。
迦梨以其人之道还施彼身,昌德蒙德曾夸下海口要多对付女神的一套,被尽数用在了他们自己身上。杀死昌德蒙德后,众神赞颂昌蒙德之名。同时在天帝宫,孙跋被统帅之死所打击,但仍然逼迫血种出战。
孙跋找准血种的弱点,把他逼上了战场。血种明知不敌女神,但以为仍有一线生机。他会活下去吗?显然不会。
为了不让血种的鲜血落地,迦梨吞下了整支阿修罗大军,以此杀死血种,但她对鲜血的渴求无法止息,甚至要吃了瑜伽女。谁能阻止她呢?
饥渴的迦梨向天神们冲去,伽内什用机智的方法救了天神,可是什么都无法止息迦梨的怒火。摩根德耶用一首五音颂,唤醒了冥想中的湿婆。当大天也拦不住妻子时,他躺在了她的脚下。
大天安抚了迦梨,并告诉她不必愧疚,湿婆和萨克蒂乃是一体。同时,尼孙跋鼓励了失去斗志的孙跋,两人重振旗鼓准备与壳生决一死战。
孙跋尼孙跋与壳生的首次正面战场对决。壳生仍然给了孙跋最后一次机会,制造幻象发出警告,但色迷心窍的孙跋并不以为然。
尼孙跋与壳生各自祭出神兵利器,三轮对决后,尼孙跋死在壳生箭下。孙跋仍不吸取教训,转而对三界众生发动攻击。
众神纷纷召唤各自的萨克蒂,助壳生一臂之力,唯独天帝迟疑。伽内什向因陀罗解释何为萨克蒂,打消了他的疑虑。女神们奔赴各界,作战为害世界的阿修罗。
七母神在各界对阵阿修罗,保护萨克蒂的信徒。同时壳生收回了孙跋的赐福,令他失去力量,但即便如此,孙跋仍然不知悔改。
壳生使用战舞技击对阵孙跋,七母神也都合力相助,但孙跋仍然不死。看戏的大天道出原委:还少了一个女神。这位是谁呢?
毗那夜姬出现,最后一份萨克蒂到位,壳生杀死阿修罗王,结束了长达43集的孙跋篇。接下来的火星篇,将从欢乐的伽内什过生日开始。
众神为伽内什贺寿,带去的礼物把穆湿迦压趴当场,小象揽镜自照得意非凡,吉罗娑难得如此热闹。但是阎摩界的隐画算出伽内什在生日当天将有大难,了解情况的阎摩却迟迟不敢将此事告诉帕尔瓦蒂。
地母之子得知父亲是大天后,决定前往吉罗娑认父。他自以为多年来被父亲遗弃,对备受宠爱的伽内什嫉恨不已。同时,吉罗娑的生日庆典还在持续,大天给了儿子最好的祝福。
地儿怀着不平和怨愤造访吉罗娑,他与生俱来的愤怒影响了南迪,进一步加深了误会。同时阎摩仍在左右为难。
伽内什大吃众神送的甜点,暴食的结果是撑得走不动路。阎摩终于下决心要把情况告诉主母,但似乎已经来不及了。
伽内什吃得太多,压得穆湿迦走路不稳,把他摔了下去,月神旃陀罗目睹一切,狂笑不止,伽内什一怒之下肚子裂开,晕倒在地。众神闻声赶来,个个颤栗,生怕主母发怒。大天和主母会饶过旃陀罗吗?
伽内什在地儿的影响下,变得越来越暴躁易怒,而且开始傲慢忤逆。在这种情况下,他看到担心过度的母亲,愤而诅咒月神,令世上无人再看抬头看月亮。大天对不听劝的儿子深感不满,也干脆拒见家人。
月神被诅咒后,看花花凋零,看树树枯萎,只好躲进池塘装死。于是灾害频发,伽内什也意识到问题严重,想要补救。同时地儿的苦修还在进行。
失去月亮的环境危机不断加重,天神在梵天的建议下,进行象神祭,大天一家也来参加。但伽内什因为受到怒火影响,并没有和往常一样现身。
帕尔瓦蒂教育儿子,应该学会控制自己的怒火。伽内什终于成功地抵抗了地儿的影响,部分解除了月神的诅咒。从此象神节不能看月亮,以及解难第四日要祭月成为传统。
小象发愿苦修冥想,帕尔瓦蒂不信淘气的儿子突然转性,不择手段考验儿子。同时,上次神魔之战仅存的一个阿修罗豪猪怪,得到苏羯罗的指点,开始兴风作浪。
阿修罗杜尔布地折磨信徒,意在引伽内什现身。首祭之神果然现身,与豪猪怪大战一场。
伽内什赐福了完成普祭的婆罗门夫妇。他的愤怒形态在地儿影响下,怒杀豪猪怪,并差点把前来劝阻他息怒的梵天吸进肚子。这集伽内什和他的分身一起探讨问题拍得很有趣。
两个伽内什和穆湿迦一起出发去寻找红光的来源,最后找到地儿。静版伽内什通过神识终于了解了地儿的身世,这时怒版伽内什和地儿的争斗一触即发。
伽内什劝阻了自己的愤怒分身,并说服地儿和地母一起去吉罗娑。伽内什在吉罗娑隆重布置,要给地儿一个惊喜,不料帕尔瓦蒂听说大天还有一个儿子,勃然大怒,去找大天理论。
地儿终于在吉罗娑受到欢迎,被赐曼伽勒名,入主火星,成为九曜之一。同时豪猪怪的儿子格耶诃利准备为父报仇,气势汹汹来到吉罗娑。
伽内什想要感化阿修罗,终止代代相传的仇恨和战争,这一切都落在阿修罗王子苏钵德身上。为此战神化身室犍陀,当上了王子的导师。
室犍陀导师循循善诱教导阿修罗王子。阿修罗王“征服三界”归来,发现儿子性情大变,去找导师兴师问罪,却发生了好笑的误会。
阿修罗王发现儿子崇拜的是伽内什,把他关进地牢。苏钵德在地牢中塑了伽内什像,日夜敬拜。为安慰信徒,伽内什化身为苏钵德去安慰阿修罗王后,又化身王后去探望苏钵德。
关地牢的经历更坚定了苏钵德对伽内什的信仰,凭借信仰之力,他用一根手指粉碎了阿修罗王的塑像。同时,王后担心伽内什将对阿修罗王不力,去找她哥哥帮忙。
伽内什化身巨腹尊,杀死阿修罗王。王后召唤岩浆怪来为夫复仇。
岩浆怪拥有梵天的赐福,武器杀不死他,伽内什只好把他吞进肚子,战斗结束了,但炽热的岩浆也让伽内什也受到了伤害。
伽内什因肚子里岩浆翻腾而痛苦不堪,众天神各显神通,三相神,双马童和檀文陀梨都来了,但没有一种方法奏效。众人都不想告诉帕尔瓦蒂,怕她一惊之下毁天灭地,但此事能瞒住她吗?
众神继续尝试各种降温办法,小象跳进湖里也无济于事,还差点蒸发了一个湖。乌玛终于来到,提供了狗牙根草的救治方案。狗牙根草为何有效,请见下集分解。
帕尔瓦蒂解释了狗牙根草的来历,原来是伽内什的一名信徒所化,她对神的爱和虔诚令她的化身草对伽内什有神奇的作用。苏钵德的故事到此结束,后半段正式开始迦尸篇。伽内什与穆湿迦在散步中误入森林,在阴森森的密林中,伽内什讲了一个鬼故事……
小象讲着故事睡着了,穆湿迦出去找水喝,发现故事里讲的情况,一模一样发生了。
小象用妙计引君入瓮,让鬼现出原形,原来他是之前被伽内什杀死的阿修罗王格耶诃利,因无法解脱而缠着伽内什要他帮忙。迦絺吉夜告诉伽内什,唯一能让他解脱的地点是不毁之城迦尸。
小象兄弟为迦尸之行去向父母请辞,为此大天道出一番往事,原来当年因为神敌王的主张,湿婆与萨克蒂被迫分离,帕尔瓦蒂的分身独自留在迦尸城中。为了父母的团聚,迦尸之行也是必须,然而他们能顺利入城吗?
伐罗醯不让格耶诃利进入迦尸,为此伽内什唱起了颂歌,安抚女神。伐罗醯终于同意他们入城,并且讲了一段萨克蒂座的故事,说明自己的为何会成为迦尸的守护神。
祭祀完世界之主后,格耶诃利仍无法解脱,一位仙人告诉他们,只有恒河才能令他解脱。为此这个著名的故事也搬了上来:因陀罗盗祭马,跋吉罗陀苦修,恒河下凡。
解脱小组在遭遇黑怖尊的阻拦后,终于抵达恒河,但格耶诃利无法接触恒河圣水。恒河女神告诉他们,要想解脱,只有前往食尸鬼解脱池,而那里的传说与伐楼那有关。
恒河女神讲了大天让食尸鬼解脱的故事,让伽内什一行前往解脱河阶。他们途径女神庙时,听说了神敌王把湿婆赶出迦尸的事。迦絺吉夜一怒之下,就要去杀神敌。
帕尔瓦蒂讲述了大天被神敌赶出迦尸的整个经过。原来梵天曾经赐福神敌为迦尸王,一国不容二主,赐福又不能收回,为了兑现梵天的诺言,湿婆只能离开。
由于格耶诃利在迦尸无法解脱,帕尔瓦蒂建议带他去伽耶圣地,为此她道出一段信徒伽耶因受赐福而导致世界失衡的往事。这也是毗湿奴故事中挺有趣的一个。
毗湿奴将伽耶踩入大地,并赐福这片土地为解脱圣地。格耶诃利一行来到伽耶城后,终于来对了地方,但是解脱仍然不易。
在婆罗门的指导下,苏钵德为父亲举行了最终仪式,但是解脱了食尸鬼形态的格耶诃利却发现自己面对的是更痛苦的旅途。这真是:早知如今何必当初。
格耶诃利开始了前往阎摩界的漫漫长途,他要经过十六关才能抵达阎摩界,每一关都是生死折磨。最后终于来到冥河,他还没资格登船,因为作恶太多。
格耶诃利终于走完了全部十六关,到达阎摩界的台阶。他追悔一生的罪过,开始敬拜伽内什。阎摩的审判将会让他去往何方,地狱还是天界?
格耶诃利悔悟后,得到了大伽那主的赐福,终于获得了解脱。但摆在小象兄弟面前的还有一道难题,那就是让大天重返迦尸。为此他们要先征得父亲的允许,才能去迦尸规劝神敌,但因陀罗突然主动请缨。他是要公报私仇吗?
因陀罗派天女去魅惑神敌王,想要让他违背正法,但天女反被神敌感化。天帝暴跳,忘记不可对神敌动武的指令……
因陀罗被大天训斥后,苏利耶提出一计,他将去迦尸城钓鱼执法,诱导城民犯错。
苏利耶被迦尸人的诚心和无私所感动,决定留驻在迦尸的十二个地点,这便是神话中瓦纳拉西十二日神池的来源。同时,因陀罗让天神煽动瑜伽母去挑战神敌,麻烦事又来了。
瑜伽母赶往迦尸后,被帕尔瓦蒂劝阻,她们被迦尸的神圣氛围感动,也留了下来。众神措手之际,梵天提出一策,他亲自化身前往迦尸考验神敌。
梵天提出的苛刻要求,神敌都满足了,梵天无奈只能留在迦尸举行火祭。同时,新的阿修罗王杜尔迦马崛起,带来新一轮的神魔大战。
阿修罗界终于出了一个高智商的王。杜尔迦马不仅拥有无敌的赐福,还会声东击西,夺走了天神的力量之源吠陀经。这样一来,伽内什和迦絺吉夜的任务更艰巨了。
吠陀女神遭劫持,世界陷入大危机。伽内什终于想出办法,他和哥哥化身混入神敌王宫。这时九夜节也快到了。
假扮占星大师的伽内什做出惊人预言,神敌将在十日内死去。为了证明自己不会这么快死,神敌不得不将兄弟俩留在宫中,并按例举行九夜节普祭。
萨蒂死后,雄贤无法冷静,善黑女以温柔的形态安抚了雄贤,两人结为连理。同时,失去萨蒂的湿婆进入三摩地。一切等待山女出世。
神敌夫妇开始九夜节祭祀,他们从伽内什口中听到了达刹与湿婆的冲突,那正是山女化身的前因。
阿修罗金刚凭借赐福夺取天界王位,之后他在父亲迦叶波的劝导下改邪归正,但他的妻子伐兰尼迫使他继续苦修求得一个能征服三界的儿子,那就是陀罗迦。
陀罗迦得到梵天赐福,只能被湿婆之子所杀。于是阿蒂萨克蒂化身下凡成为当务之急。故事又从帕尔瓦蒂之母曼娜女神遭到诅咒,降世为人类嫁给雪山王说起。
曼娜与山王成亲后,被前世的影像所困扰,梵天化身仙人来到山王宫殿,指导曼娜夫妇祈祷阿蒂萨克蒂求女。
陀罗迦肆虐三界,但他为迦絺吉夜的幻影感到不安,那罗陀告诉他,雪山王的王宫里传来了喜讯,这让他更加紧张。
天神女神们为主母打造了宇宙第一摇篮,山女终于在吉祥的时刻降世了。同时,陀罗迦派遣阿修罗攻打山王宫。
神敌夫妇在敬拜山女过程中获得启迪,故事进入了第二篇章梵修母,帕尔瓦蒂已长成活泼明媚的少女。
等得不耐烦的天神决定促成主母和大天的结合。那罗陀说服山王让女儿去侍奉山洞里的大瑜伽者,以获得福祉。帕尔瓦蒂来到山洞,感受到了一种神圣的吸引力。
山王请求山洞里的瑜伽行者接受女儿的侍奉,大天虽然感知到了帕尔瓦蒂的存在,仍然无动于衷,焦躁的天帝又心生一计。
天帝请出伽摩去促成湿婆夫妇,被伽摩一口回绝。同时伽摩的妻子罗蒂预感到了不祥。
伽摩出于义气,答应了去打破湿婆的苦修。罗蒂力劝无效,她因为额头的朱砂被雨冲走,再次感到不祥。同时,阿达终于找到陀罗迦,汇报了女神已经化身为人的消息。
伽摩几经犹豫,还是射出了爱之箭。大天睁眼看到了帕尔瓦蒂,同时也睁开第三只眼。他的怒火不仅把爱神烧成灰烬,还奔向了整个世界。众神大惊。
海神收服了大天的怒火。罗蒂发现伽摩被烧死,在众神面前控诉因陀罗。同时,帕尔瓦蒂觉醒了真实自我。
帕尔瓦蒂赐福伽摩复生,并在来世成为黑天之子,伽摩从此成为形体透明的爱神。众神们开始谋划让大天去求亲。
毗湿奴和拉克什米去吉罗娑为帕尔瓦蒂求婚,大天说,帕尔瓦蒂必须先通过他的考验。为此,他化身为舞女前往雪山宫。
大天化身坎塔,来到雪山宫,唱起诃利化身之歌,历数九化身。同时陀罗迦又找来新的阿修罗准备对付帕尔瓦蒂。
坎塔说帕尔瓦蒂只有进行3000年苦修,才能得到她的心上人。帕尔瓦蒂坐立起行地去苦修了。其间陀罗迦不断派阿修罗骚扰,但没有一个活着回去。
陀罗迦派阿修罗大军攻击帕尔瓦蒂,想破坏她的苦修。拉克什米愤而出战,她用金币解决了一支阿修罗大军。
陀罗迦又调遣阿修罗来干扰帕尔瓦蒂苦修,但事实一再证明,再厉害的阿修罗也不是主母一招之敌。同时,大天决定最后一次考验未来的妻子。
湿婆化身仙人,故意羞辱自己,激怒帕尔瓦蒂。同时梵天执行那罗延之计,深入敌后,误导陀罗迦放弃天界。
帕尔瓦蒂拒绝了湿婆的求婚,要他先去向她父母提亲,于是吉罗娑召开全员会议,决定让德高望重的七仙人去提亲。同时,梵天的计划成功,天神重返天界。
那罗陀所到之处,鸡犬不宁。所以这集就很好看,尤其是后半段仙人戏王后,曼娜一个个把天神误认为大天。这段非常有趣,我觉得是少有的剧里拍得比书上写的更有趣的故事。
曼娜见到大天的食人僧形态,当即晕厥,醒后拒婚。那罗延的计策虽然奏效,但面对态度坚决的曼娜,众神一时束手无策。
大天以至美形态现身,与帕尔瓦蒂成婚,山王仍存犹豫,于是毗神为妹妹妹夫举行了送女礼。小象兄弟总结了梵修母的故事,并开启下一章月铃母。
帕尔瓦蒂新婚后来到吉罗娑,看到一地鸡毛的景象,深感惊骇,丈夫对此不闻不问,她只能鼓起勇气重整吉罗娑。同时,陀罗迦建成摩耶城,他也重整阿修罗大军,发动新一轮攻击。
月铃母的摇铃驱走邪恶,为家中带来宁静祥和,阿修罗的攻击在主母的铃声中化为乌有。接着第四相热胎母的故事,讲述了女神以一个静默的微笑创造新世界的故事。
九夜节进入第五天,战神母的故事拉开序幕。帕尔瓦蒂想要和大天生子,但自私的天神逼迫大天答应只能用自己的能量生子,得知情况的主母勃然大怒。
小象对神敌讲述了大天(单性繁殖)理拉背后的因果。迦絺吉夜出生后,被昴星六女收养。他转眼间长大成人了,陀罗迦倍感威胁,组织新一轮的反扑。
迦絺吉夜得知身世后便返回吉罗娑。陀罗迦派遣擅长幻术的五子阿修罗对他半路拦截。天神们对鸠摩罗并不看好,觉得他乳臭未干难当大任。大天之子的第一次考验来了。
战神用智技破解了五子阿修罗的摩耶洞,并利用对手内部矛盾解决了他们。
迦絺吉夜战胜阿修罗后,得到了孔雀坐骑和公鸡旗帜。他回到吉罗娑,拜见父母,在帕尔瓦蒂的指导下学习技艺,为对战陀罗迦做准备。
迦絺吉夜接受了父母的最初教导后,从师投山仙人学习武艺。之后就职天军统帅。他试图与陀罗迦进行和谈。
陀罗迦杀了和谈使者,并将其头颅送回。迦絺吉夜大怒,立时率领天军攻打桑尼城。但他总觉得自己遗忘了什么重要的事,那将导致他初战失利。
战神和天神祭祀首祭之神,得到了大伽那主的指点,可惜天神求胜心切,没能听完大伽那主的攻略。天帝冒然进攻,毫无悬念地中计。
天帝、伐由、俱毗罗挑战桑尼城被掳,战神阻止其余天神继续挑战。他得到了战神母的指点,破解城门之谜,只身进入桑尼城解救因陀罗等人。
俱毗罗失落的耳环,指引迦絺吉夜找到了被囚的三天神并把他们救了出来。战神决心找到长刃,但天帝心生退意,四人小组发生了意见分歧。
统帅和天神为了寻找长刃,开始在桑尼城中闯关。他们在迷幻林和火池中一再遇险,但在战神母的指引下,每次都有惊无险地通过了。
众天神在摩耶之境中继续闯关,这一关他们遇到了“跑步机”和“颠倒台阶”。由于天帝失言,陀罗迦终于发现天神掌握了他的长刃奥秘,情势越发紧张。
陀罗迦得知天神已经知道他的秘密,不遗余力要对付天神。天神则继续闯关,来到了巨蛇花园,这次遇险的是因陀罗。
天神们击退阿修罗后彼此失散了,天帝伐由和俱毗罗被困在了一幅画中,俱毗罗一再遇险,最后被假扮成老妇的阿修罗推入深井。
伐由,因陀罗相继被老妇推入井中,迦絺吉夜回答了老妇的问题,破解幻术之画,救出天神。
陀罗迦与迦絺吉夜开始了掷骰子的蛇梯之戏,只有在游戏中胜出者,才能得到长刃。同时,三天神被幻术树所缚,迦絺吉夜只有赢得游戏才能救出天神。
迦絺吉夜从蛇口落入美丽城,差点被那里的美景所惑留了下来。原来蛇梯之戏的棋盘步步陷阱,走到哪一格,就会出现相应的幻境。
迦絺吉夜一再在幻境中遭遇了愤怒和嫉妒的化形,在战神母的指引下,他克服了内心的六种恶。
蛇梯之戏到了最后关头,在天帝的干扰下,陀罗迦失手被蛇吞了下去,陷入自己创造的幻境。
迦絺吉夜通过解脱之门,与金蛇缠斗后得到了长刃,他毁了长刃,摩耶城随之消失,但陀罗迦还是没死……
陀罗迦面对阿修罗族的怀疑,通过杀死自己的武士重树威望。同时,毗神提醒正在备战的迦絺吉夜,要提防陀罗迦的诡计。
阿达被陀罗迦赶出阿修罗界,去投靠迦絺吉夜。迦絺吉夜收留了他,但这一切都是陀罗迦的阴谋。
天神、阿修罗分别展示自己的力量,准备最后一战。双方都宣称掌握了自然元素,能够呼风唤雨,天下无敌。
大战在即,迦絺吉夜和陀罗迦分别对各自军队进行动员,三相神也为战神送去祝福。
Lord Ganesha narrates how Veerbhadra and Mahakali helped Kartikeya and other gods in their battle against Tarakasura and his army of asuras.
Lord Ganesha reveals how Kartikeya and other gods left Tarakasura and his army dumbfounded with their unique battle techniques. He later narrates how Surya started losing his energy as a result of an attack from Hantak.
Continuing with the story, Lord Ganesha narrates how Tarakasura ordered one of his accomplices to kidnap Kartikeya and Attasura from the battlefield, after which the gods got worried.
神魔交战正酣。迦絺吉夜在地界为保护阿达而战。迦梨雄贤在正面战场对阵另两个阿修罗。陀罗迦借机想去杀死支撑大地的八方之象。
陀罗迦在敌后战场上赢得先机,伤害了一头八方象,撼动了地球。在一片混乱中,他控制了阿达,并燃起火葬堆逼迫天军统帅自尽。阿达真的被杀了吗?
被陀罗迦杀死的阿达消失了,原来那不是真的阿达,而是毗首羯磨制造的复制品。然而陀罗迦并不认输,次日他又重启战争。
陀罗迦终于正面扛迦絺吉夜,重伤后坠入山崖,那里有一座怛罗女神庙,于是他开始祭祀怛罗,企图获得黑暗力量。陀罗迦三子也来帮忙。
陀罗迦祭祀圆满,获得怛罗赐福黑暗力量,变成了巨型恶魔,与迦絺吉夜继续鏖战。
陀罗迦告诉迦絺吉夜,他的另一半命力在帕尔瓦蒂的脚中,要杀死他,迦絺吉夜必须砍下母亲的脚,这让天军统帅陷入两难。
迦絺吉夜去昴宿界向昴星女求助,以为陀罗迦说的母亲是指她们,但最终他明白了原来阿修罗只是在玩文字游戏。
迦絺吉夜斩碎金莲,陀罗迦仍然不死!迦絺吉夜化形巨蛇终于杀死了陀罗迦!但他无法控制自己的怒火,于是众人请出战神母安抚了战神的愤怒形态。战神母篇在古内什兄弟的讲述中谢幕。
结束了战神母的故事后,故事线回归杜尔迦马,由于吠陀女神在人间消失,情况越来越糟。伽内什飞速讲完第六相迦旃延尼的故事。
小象兄弟讲完第七夜时夜的形态和意义,接着讲述第八夜皓母。帕尔瓦蒂嫁进吉罗娑后,埋头家务,不理世事,梵天开始捉急,觉得阿蒂萨克蒂不能缺席,便唆使大天让妻子变身,结果如何,下集见分晓。
大天应梵天之请,犹豫再三后批评了妻子,主母大怒,离开吉罗娑去林中苦修。迦絺吉夜得知后意欲找梵天算账,伽内什出奇招拦住了他。
帕尔瓦蒂苦修圆满,得赐福修成神圣的皓母形态,顺便收服了狮子索南迪为坐骑。但当她回到吉罗娑,却被丈夫阻在门外。
主母说服大天,让狮子进驻吉罗娑。天神因为傲慢心滋长,被主母设计惩罚。
皓母用一根树枝教训了天神,告诫他们不可傲慢。故事进入第九天,予神通母现身。
小象兄弟讲解了予神通母如何在开创宇宙时将八种神通赐予三相神。九夜祭结束,神敌认识到自己的错误,他在那罗延的指导下,在伽尸城建立神敌之主林迦,并随毗湿奴去往毗恭吒,离开了伽尸。
大天回到心爱之城,夫妻团聚。大天请出女神的化身丰盈母(安娜普尔纳女神),丰盈母布施粥食。贾格沙仙人得以恢复健康。大天为丰盈母和伽内什在伽尸建立神庙,并赐小象新名“赫兰跋”,意为救助“众生者”。
杜尔迦马的赐福,只有帕尔瓦蒂才能破解。她派伽内什带着一盏神灯,前往地界解救吠陀女神。同时,杜尔迦马举行怛特罗祭,从怛罗处了解事情原委。
杜尔迦马派出苍蝇女吉提迦袭击伽内什,扑灭神灯。伽内什智诱阿修罗女投身灯火,当场烧死。
杜尔迦马派遣影子阿修罗去灭灯。小象再次运用智计,将影魔镇在灯下,从此警示世人,以黑暗为形的摩耶,一直潜伏在我们身边。
吠陀女神被关押在城堡里,伽内什为了偷到城堡的钥匙,经历重重险阻。
伽内什打开城堡大门,为吠陀女神送去光明力量。吠陀经重现于世。
吠陀女神回归,天神通过火祭得回力量。这时杜尔迦马卷土重来,派出旱魃肆虐人间。仙人们以为天神玩忽职守造成大旱,愤而停止火祭。
主母不忍世人受干旱之苦,泪洒大地化为河海缓解旱情,顺便淹死作怪的旱魔。但杜尔迦马又派出瘟疫兄弟为祸。
瘟魔在人间散布疾病,造成大疫,众人祈求女神援手,帕尔瓦蒂却拒绝。大天道出真相,神无法拯救不洁者,乱扔垃圾只能咎由自取。
伽内什指导村民洁净水源,教育大家保持清洁卫生的重要性。环境清洁,病源自消。
伽内什发动村民大扫除,疫病阿修罗被消灭于无形之中。然而果蔬受到污染无法食用,见信徒们挨饿,帕尔瓦蒂化身为绿果女神,赐予众人果蔬。
杜尔迦马不愿认输,要继续战斗。帕尔瓦蒂决定再给他一次机会,派出时夜去和谈。
为了劝说杜尔迦马,时夜逆转时轮,将杜尔迦马带回少年时代,再次经历影响他一生的事件。
新的阿修罗阿鲁纳崛起,与杜尔迦马展开王位之争。狡诈的杜尔迦马鼓动阿鲁纳去挑战阿蒂萨克蒂,好让自己坐收渔翁之利。同时,帕尔瓦蒂前往文底耶山,准备收拾这群人。
众神为迎接阿蒂萨克蒂的化身,来到文底耶山参加集会。同时,阿鲁纳率领阿修罗军攻克了神界,俘虏伐由和阿耆尼。
阿蒂萨克蒂在文底耶山的晨光中苏醒,众女神为她沐浴装扮。同时,天神苦战阿鲁纳,但纷纷不敌被吞下大蜥蜴的肚子里去。
天神和女神们都被阿鲁纳俘虏,文底耶山女神正要去杀魔,被梵天拦住,道出阿鲁纳身怀赐福,不易被杀,但究竟是何赐福,他囿于承诺无法明言。这个任务又落到了伽内什身上。
伽内什与阿鲁纳展开辩论,立下赌注,他要以巧妙的方式让阿修罗自己说出赐福的秘密。
阿鲁纳破解了伽内什的问题,但伽内什也破解了阿鲁纳的吠陀护身,这一局算是打了平手,然而阿鲁纳的赐福之谜仍未解。
伽内什请来时夜女神,通过逆转时轮,让时间回溯到阿鲁纳索求赐福那一刻。他们终于得知,梵天的赐福是“所有天神、药茶、紧那罗、人类、那伽、乾达婆都无法杀我,所有两条腿和四条腿的生物都杀不了我,能杀我的只能是六条腿的蜜蜂。”
伽内什得到赐福的秘密后,回到吉罗娑告诉湿婆,只有帕尔瓦蒂能变出蜜蜂化身杀死阿鲁纳,但同时也需要大天变成莲花,梵天变成生长莲花的池塘,毗湿奴变成池塘里的水。三相神依言合力相助。
帕尔瓦蒂化为蜜蜂,停留在大天的莲花上。一番情话后,她杀入地界。杜尔迦马感到唇亡齿寒之忧,与阿鲁纳联手对抗黑蜂女神。
战斗的一集。阿鲁纳不断设置障碍,派出蝙蝠大军,黑蜂女神的蜜蜂大军不断突围,但是进展不顺利。她想起自己忘了出师前敬拜首祭之神。大伽那主现身赐福了黑蜂女神。
突围的一集。被压在石头下的黑蜂使计杀死了围攻的阿修罗,并突破了最后一重障碍。
阿鲁纳终于兑现赐福,死于蜂女之手。
在伽内什的祈祷下,大天让蜂女恢复了原形,夫妻团聚。同时杜尔迦马也在祈祷怛罗,想得到更大的力量对抗阿蒂萨克蒂。
伽内什兄弟晚到一步,杜尔迦马已经领到怛罗的赐福离开了。助长他继续作乱的是摩耶阿修罗。
伽内什兄弟靠穆湿迦的嗅觉找到了摩耶的巢穴。杜尔迦马遭到了摩耶的戏弄,颜面扫地,同时他也了解到,摩耶正在进行一项宇宙计划。
摩耶与杜尔迦马联手,答应在后者修行期间保护他,并为此进军那伽界。当时是大湿婆之夜,舍沙夫妇正在举行祭祀,浑然不知危险逼近。
摩耶进军蛇界,巧言令色蛊惑了那伽众。同时,伽内什兄弟失去了杜尔伽马的踪迹。
While Goddess Vindhyavasini narrates a story about Goddess Kadru, mother of all Naags, and the latter's sister Goddess Vinta to Lord Ganesha and Kartikeya, Mayasura manipulates the facts of the same story to turn the Naags against all the gods.
Goddess Vindhyavasini advises Lord Ganesha to break Mayasura's spell and get all the Naags freed. Meanwhile, under the spell, Sheshnaag's wife ends up putting her own egg in danger and attacks her husband.
Just like Naaglakshmi and other Naags, Sheshnaag also ends up getting trapped in Mayasura's spell. Meanwhile, the couple's egg hatches and Lord Ganesha takes his 'Lambodara' avatar to help all the Naags.
In the form of 'Lambodara', Lord Ganesha uses his powers to hypnotize Mayasura and frees Sheshnaag from the spell. While Sheshnaag rushes to help his wife and other Naags, Lord Ganesha continues to fight Mayasura.
Due to Durgamasura's sadhana, Sheshnaag is unable to revive most of the serpents of his clan. Meanwhile, in his Lambodara avatar, Lord Ganesha swallows the entire Brahmalok when he is not allowed to capture Mayasura.

Blessed with the power of the element of fire, Kartikeya is Jayant's only hope to survive Agni Dev's attack in Surapadman's captivity. Just when Jayant is presumed dead, he emerges unharmed from the fire with his peacock feather intact.
When ordered to poison Jayant, Azamukhi begs Surapadman and Surasayi for mercy. As her efforts to have them spare Jayant's life go in vain, she tries to get rid of the bowl of poison.
Surasayi issues orders to imprison Jayant and Azamukhi and starve them to death. Meanwhile, Lord Ganesha narrates how Goddess Parvati invited all the major deities to Kailash to watch Lord Shiva perform 'Anand Nrityam'.

Kartikeya wonders how he can encourage the gods exhausted from the journey to move further. Watching this from a distance, Lord Ganesha expresses his helplessness to Mushak Ji.
Surasayi and Surapadman test Jayant and the other gods' faith in Kartikeya by releasing hungry demons into their prison cells. Meanwhile, Devsena's arrival has a positive effect on Kartikeya's fatigued army.
Though Lord Ganesha is happy about Devsena's arrival at the camp, he does not want her to meet Kartikeya. Unable to stop her, he turns to Indra for help to keep the two away from each other.
Kartikeya opens his eyes and sees Devsena sitting opposite him praying to his idol. He loses his temper on hearing her address him as her husband.

Unaware that Lord Ganesha is the reason why she is unable to collect bel leaves and flowers, Devsena puts him in a tight spot by requesting him to clear the hurdles in her path.
Kartikeya notices the awkward smiles on Lord Ganesha's and Indra's faces after they send Devsena away for some work. Subsequently, the duo takes his leave under the pretext of assisting Devsena to avoid giving him more reasons to suspect them.

While Kartikeya is busy praying with his eyes closed, Devsena completes the rituals left incomplete by him without his knowledge. She does so after being granted the permission for it by Goddess Parvati.
While Devsena uses her body to obstruct the flow of waters gushing towards Kartikeya, Indra tries to keep his hut from being blown away in the storm.
With the storm getting worse, it becomes more difficult for Indra to keep Kartikeya's hut safe. To add to his horror, he witnesses a huge boulder rapidly moving towards Devsena.
Surapadman and his aides compel Veerbahu to commit suicide to prove his devotion for Kartikeya. Consumed with guilt for not being able to accomplish the task assigned to him, Veerbahu agrees to set himself on fire.
Veerbahu engages in a fierce duel with Sudhmukhan while the other gods protect the former from an army of invisible demons. Lord Ganesha finds himself in a dilemma with Azamukhi and Devsena landing in danger at the same time.
Despite having the opportunity to free Jayant, Lord Ganesha leaves him under Azamukhi's care for a divine purpose. Meanwhile, Indra is worried about Devsena lying unconscious in front of him.
Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati give Devsena a chance to answer the decisive question meant for Kartikeya. The gods' fate in the battle against Surapadman depends on her response.
While Kartikeya sets out to fight the big battle, Devsena decides to fast and pray for his victory. Little does she know that some demons are conspiring to kidnap her. Meanwhile, Lord Ganesha becomes the long-trunked Gajavakra to help the gods.
Surasayi executes her sinister plan to crush Kartikeya and his huge army when she is distracted by her husband Sage Kashyap's voice. He dissuades her from resorting to unfair means, much to Azamukhi's relief.
Singhamukhan and Azamukhi find out how much they and their siblings mean to Surasayi. Meanwhile, Kartikeya and his army praise Vishwakarma for building a divine fortress for them.

Gajasura II challenges Goddess Parvati and Lord Ganesha to a two-on-one fight. It is only a matter of time before the elephant-headed god realizes that their adversary is being protected by some special kind of power.
Even after listening to Goddess Parvati's discourses, Gajasura II refuses to back down. Consequently, the two-on-one fight resumes, compelling Lord Ganesha to pray to Maha Ganpati for guidance.
Bhanukopan uses unscrupulous means to wreak havoc on Kartikeya's army on the battlefield. He falters for a bit but bounces back thanks to Surasayi's evil powers.

Kartikeya channelizes the powers of the earth element in himself to counter Surapadman's attacks. To make matters worse for the demons, he uses their weapons against them.
Surapadman returns from the battlefield with barely any hope for victory left in him. Back in the forest, Devsena grows insecure over a tribal woman's bubbling admiration for Kartikeya.
Armed with weapons far more devastating than before, Bhanukopan and his brother wreak havoc on the battlefield. Consequently, Kartikeya appears in his divine twelve-armed Shri Senani form to counter their attacks.

Veerbahu attacks the Yamaloka to retrieve his brothers' souls and bring them back to life. Sensing his approaching weapon, Yamaraja turns to Lord Ganesha for help.
Valli's thoughtfulness makes Devsena wonder if what she saw in the divine mirror earlier was a mere illusion. Back on the battlefield, Kartikeya channelizes the powers of the sky element in himself to tackle the demons.
While Surasayi is on the verge of completing her yajna to bring the dead demons back to life, the gods are slightly apprehensive about its outcome and discuss their next course of action.

Azamukhi and her newfound companions try to disrupt Surasayi's demon-reviving yajna. Back on the battlefield, Surapadman struggles miserably against Kartikeya.

Devsena wants to celebrate Lord Ganesha's birthday now that Kartikeya and his victorious army are back. Little do they know that their party could be spoiled by another predicament that is in the offing.
An old friend called Chhaliya turns against Mushak Ji thanks to Kroorasura, a demon blessed with a boon that makes him invincible except when it comes to rodents. The duo is all set to lock horns with each other to determine who is better.
Chhaliya gains the upper hand in the round that requires him to prove his devotion for Lord Ganesha. But it is only a matter of time before Mushak Ji, who has been battling the voices in his head, bounces back into the competition.
Kroorasura interrupts the competition between Chhaliya and Mushak Ji to wage war on Lord Ganesha. However, he is perplexed on seeing both the rodents accompany the elephant-headed deity.
Mushak Ji wins his friend Chhaliya back by protecting him from an attack. After killing Kroorasura, he gets rewarded with a throne and a boon that relays messages whispered in his ears to Lord Ganesha.
Amid their marriage talks, Kartikeya and Devsena learn that Valli is an integral part of their life. Lord Ganesha and Goddess Parvati explain why it is necessary for Kartikeya to take Valli as his second wife.
Kartikeya plays a prank on Valli: he appears in the form of a rishi, cures her father, and asks for her hand in marriage. However, she politely turns him down and stands by her decision even when he pretends to be enraged by her response.
Valli gets back at Kartikeya by keeping him waiting for quite some time before accepting his marriage proposal. Subsequently, he ties the knot with her and Devsena.

Reincarnated as humans, Sudama and Tulsi devote themselves to their divine purposes. While he tries to please Lord Brahma with his fervent prayers, she prays to Lord Krishna.
Cursed by Tulsi, Lord Ganesha bans her from being a part of the offerings presented to him. However, after she realises her mistake and apologises to him, he blesses her with a boon to be revered as the holy tulsi plant in the future.
A demon called Shankhachura overcomes several obstacles to reach Tulsi while she is busy praying to Lord Krishna. Subsequently, he tries to get her to accept his marriage proposal.
Shankhachura conquers the earth and subterranean realms without lifting a weapon or causing any bloodshed thanks to his wife, Tulsi. However, when it comes to attacking the gods' abode, she is not as supportive and wants him to be less ambitious.
Having replaced Indra as the king of heaven, Shankhachura is confident that no one can snatch his new throne. His rule threatens the worshipping of gods and the existence of everything good in the world.
While Shankhachura is about to fight a crucial battle, Tulsi prays for his safety and victory. However, his chances appear bleak with Kartikeya calling the shots on the other side.
Shankhachura gains the upper hand in the battle against Kartikeya and his army thanks to the divine protective armour, the sacred flute, and Tulsi's purity and devotion.
Conquering Shankhachura becomes quite a challenge for Kartikeya and his army thanks to Tulsi's purity and devotion. The only hope left for the gods is Lord Ganesha and Lord Shiva.
Shankhachura's battle so far may have been a breeze but things are not the same when it comes to facing the ferocious Lord Shiva. Meanwhile, Lord Ganesha tackles Durasad, who is Bhasmasura's son and Shankhachura's ally.
Defeating Shankhachura is impossible for the gods as long as Tulsi remains pativrata and he is protected by the divine armour. While Lord Shiva is unwilling to release any weapon on him, Lord Vishnu stands a chance of turning things around.
Lord Vishnu facilitates the fulfilment of Tulsi's divine destiny of turning into the revered tulsi plant. However, he also ends up getting cursed for having tricked Shankhachura into returning the divine armour.

After the failure of their sinister plan, Narantak and Devantak assign Koopak and Kandar with the responsibility of killing Mahotkat Vinayak. The duo tries to get the job done by pushing the elephant-headed deity into a death well.
Living under his brother and sister-in-law's heels, an ardent devotee wishes to have Mahotkat Vinayak over for a meal at their house. Unaware of this, the elephant-headed deity is put up in the palace of the king of Kashi.
Jyotishasura manoeuvres the king into believing that Mahotkat Vinayak is a threat to his throne. Meanwhile, the elephant-headed deity fulfils his devotee's wish by visiting him for a meal.
Mahotkat Vinayak brings about some changes in his devotees' lives. The king, too, ultimately ends up realising that he made a mistake by doubting the elephant-headed deity's intentions.
After protecting the king from Jyotishasura's attack, Mahotkat Vinayak heads to the battlefield to take on Narantak. It is only a matter of time before he fulfils his divine destiny.

Goddess Parvati's son, Gunesh, is blamed for the mess that no one knows was caused due to his clash with one of Sindhu's sidekicks. While cleaning everything up, he ends up getting attacked again.
Consuming all the food makes Gunesh look selfish because no one is aware of his motive. Consequently, Goddess Parvati scolds and punishes him.
Gunesh lands in trouble again after being misunderstood by Goddess Parvati. This time, he is taken to Lord Shiva and ends up being asked to meditate for the whole night as punishment.
Gunesh's meeting with his devotee, Rishi Mudgala, is cut short thanks to Parvati and Ahilya. The situation is about to get more challenging for the elephant-headed deity with the arrival of Rishi Durvasa, who is known for his short temper.
Rishi Mudgala's devotion towards the elephant-headed deity remains intact even after he is put through a rigorous test by Rishi Durvasa. Moreover, he is confident of emerging a winner out of all the adversities thrown his way.
Rishi Mudgala experiences the darshan of the elephant-headed deity's divine form. It comes to light that the former is destined to be the creator of Mudgala Purana, a scripture dedicated to Lord Ganesha.
Gunesh protects the inhabitants of the ashram from an attack orchestrated by Sindhu, and proves that he is ready to fulfil his divine purpose.
The demons see glimpses of all deities in Gunesh when he assimilates the divine weapons being used to attack him. The entire army ends up getting defeated, but even this does not prove to be enough to open Sindhu's eyes to the ultimate truth.
Sindhu pays the ultimate price for his arrogance and airheadedness as Mayureshwara Gunesh fulfils his divine purpose by putting an end to his life and tyranny.
