EPISODE 25
Shiva is in deep solitude and does not wish to be disturbed, not even by Parvati who tries to entice him. Nandi also dissuades Narad from paying obeisance to Shiva, but is convinced of an inevitable union of Shiva and Shakti. Meanwhile, Tarkasur bears his fangs and attacks Indra and other Gods despite Narad's advice.

EPISODE 27
Supriya and his friends are captured by demon Daruk at the instance of Tarakasur, but the divine powers of Shiva kill Daruk. Upon the invocation of Supriya, Shiva blesses him at Nageshwar Jyotirling. Meanwhile, Mainak admonishes Parvati but she is determined to marry Shiva.
EPISODE 28
Nandi concurs with Mainak about Parvati's determination to win over Shiva and is uncertain about the Lord's reaction. The Gods and Narad who are now fed up with the tyranny of Tarkasur approach Brahma, who is in deep meditation. However, Brahma advises them to seek the Lord's blessings at Kashi.
EPISODE 29
Notwithstanding Mainak's ire, Parvati proceeds on her mission to win over Shiva who is unmoved even at Kamdev's instance. The Lord, in a fit of anger, reduces Kamdev to ashes. Brahma steps in and sinks Shiva's fury. Shiva relents and says that Kamdev will be bereft of a body and he will be reborn as Krishna's son.
EPISODE 30
Parvati's obsession with Shiva persists and Mainak has to reconcile. On Narad's advice, Parvati undertakes penance to invoke the Lord. The Gods are worried about these developments and they approach Brahma who preaches them the true import and glory of 'Dharma' (religion).
